We recently connected with Shalisa Chamberlain and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Shalisa, thanks for joining us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?
Hi, I’m Shalisa Chamberlain, CBD expert and owner of Furry Faces CBD, I’m proud to share my personal journey and the defining moment that led me to a drastic career change and the creation of my company dedicated to helping pets naturally with CBD.
I have always been passionate about wellness and natural healing, but it wasn’t until a life-altering horse accident that I discovered the true power of CBD. My body was broken and my physicians offered me little hope and powerful medications. I knew this was not the way. In 2008 I discovered the miracle of CBD and spent years researching the effects of CBD on the body. After healing my own body with CBD, I then turned to using this natural remedy to help my beloved pet Mojo. The transformation I saw in Mojo was nothing short of miraculous, and it forever changed the trajectory of my life.
That moment was a defining moment in my professional career. I realized the potential CBD had to help not just me and my pet, but also other animals and their owners. It was then that I made the decision to leave my previous career of 20 years as a veterinary technician and dive headfirst into the world of CBD and pets.”
I became a CBD expert, dedicating myself to educating pet owners about the benefits of using low oil/high-concentration CBD for their furry friends. I started Furry Face CBD with the mission to help pets live happier, healthier lives through the use of natural, safe, and effective CBD products.
I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact CBD can have on a pet’s health and well-being, and I’m committed to sharing that with others. I believe that every pet deserves to live their best life, and I’m honored to be able to play a role in making that happen.
I offer a range of certified organic, medical-grade, third-party-tested CBD products specifically formulated for pets. I believe in using only the best ingredients, manufacturing processes, and accredited lab testing facilities to ensure that my products are safe, effective, and trustworthy.
I’ve come a long way since that fateful day, but I wouldn’t change a thing. The accident may have been tragic, but it was also the catalyst for a new chapter in my life and a new mission to help pets. I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to do what I love and make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners

Shalisa, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
One of the biggest problems I’ve seen in the pet CBD industry is navigating the world of pet CBD education online. It can be an overwhelming and confusing experience for most pet owners. With limited regulations and a national gag order prohibiting veterinarians from recommending or speaking about CBD, in all states except California. It’s making it difficult for pet owners to know which products are safe and how to properly utilize them to get the maximum benefits for their furry loved ones. Most pet CBD companies only offer a one-dose option. CBD is not a one-dose that fits all. All pets are unique and have different physical and emotional needs and this is where a customizable low-oil CBD does its magic.
Over the years working with personal clients, dog trainers, pet daycare, and boarding facilities as well as donating CBD and working with pet rescues. I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact CBD can have on a pet’s health physically and emotionally, and I’m committed to sharing that knowledge with others.
That’s why I’ve started Furry Faces Holistic CBD Consulting. I work closely with pet owners to show them how to observe their pets and use CBD. I provide valuable insights with my expertise and personalized approach. I hope to make the world of pet CBD less overwhelming and bridge the gap between veterinarians and pet owners to help them make the best-informed decisions about the right CBD products for their pets. Making CBD more accessible for pet owners and giving them the peace of mind they deserve when it comes to their furry family members.
Let’s dive in a little more about what CBD is, how it works, and what makes Furry Faces CBD so special.
CBD-infused products are one of the most exciting new pet health and wellness developments today. Capitalizing on the same benefits provided to humans, CBD can be added to your pet’s diet to promote vitality and longevity at any age.
Furry Faces CBD Extracts benefit your pet’s body naturally through interaction with your pet’s endocannabinoid system. Once absorbed into the bloodstream, CBD is transported throughout your pet’s body to interact with special cannabinoid receptors located in the central and peripheral nervous systems and throughout your pet’s body. Through interaction with your pet’s endocannabinoid system, Furry Faces Holistic CBD products can help with allergies, older pet aches, and pains, joint stiffness, support gut health, support healthy joints, promote neurological health (seizures and epilepsy), and support emotional behavior such as separation anxiety and much more.
Our low-oil customizable extracts (one drop per 10lb) with our unique no-spill drop system makes Furry Faces CBD so special. With low-oil CBD, it’s easy on pet’s tummies and you can find your pet’s unique metabolic dose. Have more than one pet in the family? We know pets are expensive and we would never want you to have to choose which pet gets CBD. With Furry Faces CBD, you can buy any size bottle and share it with your entire furry family. No matter their size or species. Now that’s revolutionary!
Furry Faces CBD is created using the highest quality certified organic hemp and only the best part of the plant the leaves and flowers are used to create our oil. To ensure purity and integrity our hemp is grown free of herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers. We want only the best for your pets. All products are certified organic, non-GMO, CO2 extracted, gluten-free, Full Spectrum CBD including all the beneficial terpenes and special secondary cannabinoids CBD, CBG, CBN&CBC, and flavonoids that other CBD bands lack.

We test for total cannabinoids, terpenes herbicides, pesticides, bacteria, mold, mycotoxins, yeast, and heavy metals.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Starting a business in the CBD industry comes with its own unique set of challenges, but for pet owners, the stakes are even higher as they want nothing but the best for their furry friends. Despite the numerous hurdles faced in this industry, I was determined to make a difference for pet owners and provide them with CBD education along with high-quality, safe, and effective CBD products for their pets.
The CBD industry is highly regulated, and finding payment processors that would accept CBD was a big challenge. I would constantly get shut down and have to find new processors because of the continuously changing policy within payment processing companies. Banks were reluctant to provide business accounts, adding to the difficulties of operating in this field. The stigma surrounding CBD being related to marijuana and the possibility of pets getting high only added to the challenge.
One of the biggest hurdles was getting the correct information out to pet owners. CBD is not allowed to be marketed as a treatment for any medical condition, which made it difficult to educate consumers about the benefits of CBD. Social media algorithms suppressed content that mentioned the word “CBD,” making it even harder to reach pet owners. Online platforms like Amazon only allowed hemp oil to be sold, leading to confusion among consumers and a lack of trust in the effectiveness of CBD products. Hemp oil is not CBD oil.
Despite these challenges, I was determined to make a difference. I sought out partnerships with organizations that shared my passion for improving the lives of pets through CBD. I invested time and resources into educating pet owners face-to-face where ever I could. Farmers markets, dog parks, or any outdoor pet events I could speak at to share the benefits of CBD, I focused on providing high-quality education and products that were safe and effective for pets.
Today, I am proud to say that my business is slowly growing, and I have been able to make a positive impact on the lives of countless pets. The journey was not easy, but my resilience and determination to succeed paid off. My story is proof that, with hard work and persistence, it is possible to succeed in the CBD industry and make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners.
How do you keep your team’s morale high?
As someone who has been in the CBD industry for a while, I’ve had the privilege of working with and leading a variety of teams. I know firsthand how important it is to have a team of motivated and engaged individuals who are passionate about their work. This is why I believe that as a team leader, maintaining high morale among your team members is one of the most important things you can do for your company.
So, let me share with you some tips that have worked for me in managing a team and keeping morale high.
Create a family-like atmosphere: One of the things that I believe sets a successful team apart is a strong sense of camaraderie. Encourage open communication and make sure everyone feels heard and valued. Celebrate each other’s successes and support each other through tough times. When you work together as a team, you’ll accomplish so much more.
Show appreciation for hard work: It’s so important to let your team members know that you appreciate their hard work. A simple “thank you” or a small token of appreciation can go a long way in keeping morale high.
Lead with positivity: A positive attitude is contagious, and as a team leader, you have the power to set the tone for the entire team. Lead by example and maintain a positive outlook, even in difficult situations. Your team will follow your lead and maintain a positive attitude as well.
Invest in your team’s growth: When you provide opportunities for your team members to learn and grow, you’re showing them that you believe in their potential and value their contributions. This investment will pay off in spades in terms of their motivation and engagement.
Prioritize work-life balance: It’s important to remember that your team members have lives outside of work, and that balance is key to their overall well-being. Encourage them to take time off when needed and make sure they feel comfortable discussing their work-life balance with you.
In conclusion, managing a team and maintaining high morale is all about creating a supportive and positive work environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated. When you invest in your team’s growth, recognize their hard work, and lead with positivity, you’ll see the impact in their motivation and engagement.
