Everything You Need To Know About Pet Releaf’s U.S. Hemp Authority Certification


We are so honored to have achieved the USHA Certification!

Pet Releaf is proud to be the only pet CBD company that sits on the Board of Directors of the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, the organization that helps set the bar on industry standards for safety and quality in the hemp and CBD world. As the #1 most-trusted organic CBD and hemp pet product manufacturer, we believe it is important for us to take a leadership role helping to drive industry standards like the U.S. Hemp Authority (USHA) certification process. The main goal of the USHA certification program is to undertake top-to-bottom third-party audits of a company’s entire manufacturing process, which is overseen by Where Food Comes From.

How does Pet Releaf qualify for the USHA certification?

At Pet Releaf, we believe in the importance of transparency, especially in our manufacturing process from seed to sale, from plant to pet™.

The USHA Seal has three levels of audits; hemp farmers, hemp processors, and hemp manufacturers. For a hemp-based product to bear the USHA Seal, the company’s farmers, processors, and its manufacturing facilities must all pass the audits to achieve the certification. This means that Pet Releaf products have proven their safety, traceability, transparency, and legality from the time the hemp is planted to the time it appears on a retail shelf. The USHA Seal combined with our USDA Organic certification is proof that Pet Releaf products are 100% legal and the industry’s most transparent and fully traceable pet products.

“As a leader shaping the hemp industry, we have made it our mission to help set the bar on industry standards for safety and quality, particularly as they relate to the overall health of pets,” said Steve Smith, Co-Founder and President of Pet Releaf. “The intense, hemp-specific audits required to achieve U.S. Hemp Authority Certification are far superior to general supplement certifications because they are overseen by the most knowledgeable hemp experts on the planet. Pet Releaf is honored to be awarded the USHA seal and we strongly encourage pet parents everywhere to demand the USHA Certification on any CBD product they give to their companions.”
