FAQs About Our Hemp Bedding
At Dominion Hemp, we understand that hemp and hemp bedding are relatively new products to many people. We hope these frequently asked questions and information help educate you about our incredible product.
Does Dominion Hemp bedding contain THC?
No. Our bedding contains no THC.
Can I bed my competition horses on Dominion Hemp bedding?
Dominion Hemp has provided premium bedding for competition horses for years. We recommend referring to the guidelines established by the competition's governing bodies.
Is Dominion Hemp bedding made from fiber hemp stalks, CBD plant stalks, or grain stalks?
Our hemp bedding is made from fiber hemp stalks. Fiber hemp is typically more mature and absorbent than CBD or grain hurd. Hurd is the material we use for the hemp bedding.
How many bags do I need for an 8' x 6' Chicken coop?
One to two bags will cover the hen boxes and an 8' x 6' chicken run. Please refer to our application chart on the hemp bedding for chickens page.
How many bags do I need for a 12' x 12' horse stall?
One large bag will cover 10+ cubic feet at a one-inch depth; most equine clients use three to five bags, adding one bag every 4-7 days to replace the soiled material.
Please visit our Hemp Horse Bedding page for information on application options.
Can I use my spent/soiled hemp for composting or spread it into my field?
Yes, we have many clients who compost soiled hemp. Hemp is biodegradable and does not have the acidity of pine shavings.
There seems to be black dust in our hemp bedding. Is this dust?
No, this is called the fines of the hemp hurd. This micro-material is great for absorption and will not become airborne.
Do you sell pallets of material?
Yes, we can accommodate FTL orders at this time. Visit our Bulk Hemp Bedding For Horses page for pricing information and a quote request form.
What material is in the bag other than hemp hurd?
Our hemp bedding is 100% hemp hurd. We do not add any other material to it.
My hemp is darker than the last time; is something wrong with it? Why is it dark?
No, nothing is "wrong" with the hemp. It will still perform as intended. Hemp is naturally retted in the field to release the fiber from the hurd. Some fiber takes longer to ret, which can cause the material to be slightly darker than others.
Are there any pesticides or herbicides in the hemp?
No, the material we received is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides.
If my animal eats the hemp, will it harm them?
Your pet may initially nibble at the hemp bedding out of curiosity; this is a common behavior among many animals. They quickly lose interest. Hemp hurd is part of the plant but not appealing to many animals’ palates.
If you notice that your pet is eating an unusually large amount of its bedding, there may be an underlying issue, and you should consult a veterinarian.
We own goats and alpacas. Is the hemp bedding safe for them?
Yes, we have goat and alpaca breeders that use our hemp bedding.

Curious about how the new Federal Hemp Extract Ban affects hemp products?
Recent federal updates have created confusion across the industry, but Dominion Hemp’s bedding is not impacted. The law targets CBD-derived hemp extracts used to make intoxicating consumer products—not industrial hemp fiber used for safe, non-ingestible animal bedding.
