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.
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 see our application chart on our 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 see our Horse Hemp Bedding page for application options.
Can I use my spent/soiled hemp for composing or spread it into my field?
Yes, we have many clients who use soiled hemp for composting. 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.
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.
Are there any pesticides or herbicides in the hemp?
No, the material we received is grown without pesticides.
My hemp is darker than the last time; is something wrong with it? Why is it dark?
Your hemp is perfectly fine and will still perform just 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.
If my animal eats the hemp, will it harm them?
Your pet may initially nibble at the hemp bedding out of curiosity; this is common with many animals. They quickly lose interest. Hemp hurd is part of the plant but not appealing to many animals’ palates. If you notice your pet is eating abnormal amounts of their bedding, there could be an underlying issue, and you should contact a veterinarian.
Can I bed my competition horses on Dominion Hemp bedding?
Dominion Hemp’s premium animal bedding – like all hemp animal bedding products in the market – may contain trace amounts of naturally occurring cannabinoids. However, we have our product tested regularly by independent laboratories and it shows unquantifiable levels of cannabinoids. Dominion Hemp has proudly provided hemp bedding for competition horses for years and we strongly recommend that you review and abide by the rules and regulations of your governing body to determine whether our bedding products are suitable for your competition horses
