This review takes an in-depth look at a product called Hemp Treats from a company called Epic Chimp. It appears that the company does not have an independent website but is available for purchase from several sites. When assessing this product, we took into account factors such as transparency, ingredient list, independent testing, and independent reviews.
These beef-flavored chews claim to be beneficial for calming your pup and relieving joint pain. If you are unsatisfied with this product, there is a 30-day return policy for purchases made through Amazon. It is unclear whether this return policy is a satisfaction guarantee or if it only applies to unopened packages. Satisfaction guarantees with 100% money-back is important because it means the manufacturer stands behind its product and is confident that you will like the results.
This incident with the unclear return policy is not the only ambiguity with this product. The ingredients list does not specify ingredient amounts, although there is a table with nutrition facts. In fact, Epic Chimp treats this product like food, rather than a supplement. Since we value knowing exactly what a supplement contains and how much, we were a bit turned off by this labeling. Knowing what your dog is consuming is essential to making sure you provide a nutritious diet to keep your dog healthy and a part of your family for a long time to come.
Are Epic Chimp Hemp Treats Effective?
There were few reviews to give us an indication of how effective this product is. We found one review claiming this product has made a huge difference for their dog, one review that claimed it wasn’t as effective as others, and one that stated they like to believe it is effective. With mixed reviews like this, we need more information in order to help us figure out whether this product is worth it or not.
The key ingredients are Sweet Potato, Beef Liver, Hemp Oil, and Flaxseed Oil. Firstly, the Sweet Potato is intended to provide vitamins and minerals while supporting gut health. Secondly, in addition to giving these chews their flavor, the Beef Liver contributes protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals to these chew treats. Thirdly, Hemp oil, as we’ve discussed previously, is rich in omegas that help to calm anxiety. Lastly, the Flax Seeds also supply omegas and fiber to help promote relaxation.
There are only two ingredients in this product for calming your dog and a high price tag. It might provide some benefits but we suspect they may be minimal. This could be a nice treat for your dog, but if your pooch is struggling with anxiety, you’re going to want something stronger. And besides, there are cheaper treats on the market.
Are Epic Chimp Hemp Treats Safe?
In terms of safety, there didn’t appear to be anything untoward that we noted in this formula. However, as with any new supplement or diet introduced into your dogs’ life, we always advise talking to your veterinarian about possible contraindications of any pre-existing medical conditions or medications that your dog is taking. Furthermore, supplements work differently on different breeds, weights, and types so it is always a good idea to run any health changes with a professional.
Summary
At first, Epic Chimp Hemp Chews might attract you with the word hemp on its label, but there are many other ingredients in this product. Unfortunately, those other ingredients don’t contribute much to helping your dog cope with stress. Furthermore, there are no quantities listed for the ingredients which means that you can’t know exactly what your dog is consuming and how it will affect them. In conclusion, this is a pricey treat that your dog might enjoy but as far as calming supplements go, it could use a lot of work.
