Brand Review: Austin and Kat

Austin and Kat is a rare company in the CBD industry that focuses entirely on CBD products for pets! The company started as a home project for the founder, who eventually formed the company to help other pets and her own.

With products directed specifically toward specific pet-related issues, like Bailey’s No More Wiggles—which helps calm and quiet hyperactive dogs—we support Austin and Kat because they support our pets. They are even a proud member of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), which not many other CBD companies can claim.

Austin and Kat at a Glance

Austin and Kat offers a subscription option for all of its products, which gives customers an additional 15 percent off their purchase. Products are shipped directly to the home in 30-day intervals but can be canceled at any time. It’s a great option and is one reason many people ultimately choose one CBD company over another. 

Austin and Kat also have a “Bark Bucks” referral and rewards program for their customers. Bucks can be earned by referring customers, purchasing products, and following the company on social media. They can then be spent on coupons for money off of either their subscriptions or their products.

In addition, the company has a comprehensive “Learn” section on their website, where customers and pet owners can go to get more information about the benefits of CBD and the company as a whole.

Kat Donatello founded Austin and Kat in 2016. She was inspired by her Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Brady, who was 12 years old at the time and struggling with physical ailments related to his age. After trying multiple natural remedies and supplements to help him find some relief, Donatello discovered CBD. Once she got the “go ahead” from Brady’s veterinarian, she started experimenting with different recipes. 

Brady immediately showed an improvement, so she decided to try them on her other dog, Austin. Austin had the opposite issue as Brady; he was a puppy and was always full of energy. For Austin, CBD helped him relax. 

It was then that Austin and Kat was born. Her goal was to share the positive benefits of CBD with other pet owners.

Austin and Kat Product Review Highlights

Austin and Kat focuses on three different product categories of CBD for pets—infused bites, functional oils, and classic oils.

Their Infused Bites come in five different varieties, each created for a specific purpose. Kat’s Original Recipe, Austin’s Active Formula, Bailey’s No More Wiggles, Bakko’s Hip, and Joint Formula, and Brady’s Senior Blend can all be purchased individually or by subscription (which will save the customer 15%). Each bite was formulated to be as appealing to dogs as possible and are all gluten-free and grain-free. However, not every dog will like the flavor. 

Their Functional Oils also come in different varieties, offering all of the same options as their infused bites except for their Original Recipe. Each functional oil has 450 milligrams of CBD oil per bottle, combined with unique ingredients to boost its effect. They come with medical-grade droppers for accurate, useful measurement.

Finally, their Classic Oils come in two varieties—original and high potency. This offers pet owners a choice between 100, 300, 600, and 1,200-milligram bottles so that they can find the best dose for their pet. Each classic oil comes with the same medical-grade dropper as its functional oils.  

The downside to their pet products is that they are all focused on dogs, which leaves cats out (with the exception of the 100 mg original CBD oil). It would be nice to have more products aimed at cats, as well.

Conclusion

Austin and Kat is a pet-centric company that started out of love in one woman’s kitchen. The brand has been featured in Modern Dog, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes Magazine, and other reputable publications. Their commitment to pet wellness can be seen in the way they extract their CBD to the way they test all of their products multiple times for quality. We only wish they sold human products and more products for cats!

Lab Results

Austin and Kat put their products through not one but three different third-party laboratory testing processes to verify their quality. The results can be found on the “Lab Tests” section of their website. They test for various herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbes, and a cannabinoid and terpene profile is developed. 

However, to see the results for any given product, you must have the lot or batch code. There is no way to look up results beforehand, which is important to some customers before purchasing a product.

Although there isn’t a lot of specific information about the hemp Austin and Kat uses for their products, they state that it is grown organically in Colorado and Oregon. 

To extract their CBD oil, Austin and Kat use a supercritical CO2 extraction method, which uses carbon dioxide instead of chemical solvents. This is often considered the “gold standard” extraction process and is the same process used by human supplement companies and the pharmaceutical industry.
