Hemp in joint supplements is a category worth being honest about — the evidence base for hemp-derived CBD in dogs is genuinely mixed, and most hemp joint supplements contain very low CBD concentrations that are unlikely to produce a measurable anti-inflammatory effect. How long has he been on it, and what were you hoping to see?
About 3 months. I wanted to see reduced morning stiffness. It's the same as when we started. He's an 8-year-old Golden, quite active still.

Three months with no change on a hemp formulation — that's consistent with the evidence picture. The other ingredients in PetHonesty Hip & Joint (glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM) are the more evidence-backed components, but at the concentrations in that product they may not be sufficient for an 8-year-old Golden with established stiffness. Switch to YuMOVE Senior. The ActivEase green-lipped mussel extract is clinically evidenced specifically for dogs showing the morning stiffness pattern you're describing, and the concentration is significantly higher than in a combined hemp-glucosamine product. You should see a difference within 6–8 weeks.
