BOULDER, Colo. – It is almost the ‘Dog Days’ of summer so an apt time to announce a positive partnership to benefit the wellness of pets everywhere. Charlotte’s Web, the world’s most trusted hemp extract brand, announced today a new partnership with Dr. Kwane Stewart, known to many as ‘The Street Veterinarian’ based on his history of compassionate activism providing pro bono healthcare to pets of the homeless. The 22-year practicing veterinarian now serves as Charlotte’s Web’s official spokesperson for its popular line of hemp-derived CBD pet products. Dr. Kwane Stewart’s tireless and caring efforts in helping homeless pets earned him the moniker, “The Street Vet” and he now has his own online reality TV series of the same name, and has been a guest on The Dr. Oz Show, CNN and CBS News.
Charlotte’s Web was so moved by Dr. Kwane Stewart’s mission and animal welfare activism, it decided to support his cause. Charlotte’s Web has made a substantial contribution to Dr. Stewart’s 501c3 nonprofit organization to expand his outreach beyond Calif. and fulfill his mission of pet care for all nationwide.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Charlotte’s Web and its amazing team of animal lovers! I’m passionate about educating pet owners about the ongoing CBD research that is showing promising results for better wellness and comfort,” said Stewart. “I want to also send a heartfelt thanks to Charlotte’s Web for its generous donation to my ongoing mission to help the pets of our homeless population. It will surely make a huge difference in the lives of the pets and their owners.”
Charlotte’s Web will collaborate with Dr. Stewart to educate pet owners and promote natural wellness and care. The first of these free educational programs kicks off this Friday, June 26 at 11:00 a.m. MST as part of the company’s ‘Searching for Answers” series.

Homeless pets often have limited access to medical checkups and vaccines, endure poor nutritional health and enhanced street noises, among other stressors. Serving as Charlotte’s Web’s official Pet Vet Ambassador, Dr. Stewart will utilize the company’s products to help homeless pets and educate veterinarians around the country about hemp derived CBD products for pets.
