About Hernando Umana
Father of senior Shih Tzu Blanche, and senior rescue Linda, Hernando Umana is co-owner of CBD Dog Health, as well as a Broadway performer in New York City. Despite his confidence and talent, Hernando found himself struggling with stress and anxiety after graduation. In a profession where anxiety is absolutely crippling, he wasn’t getting the kind of work he knew he should be getting. He did not want to turn to toxic medications and was searching for a way to treat his anxiety without scary side effects. Angela Ardolino, owner of CBD Dog Health, introduced Hernando to the amazing benefits of CBD, both for his own anxiety and his pups. That’s when he learned the amazing power of Cannabis medicine, for us and our pets.
Four years after being introduced to CBD, Hernando had graduated from Dr. Sulak’s Healer Cannabis Dosage Protocols and Methodologies, as well as University of Vermont’s Cannabis Science and Medicine program. Thanks to CBD, he has also opened two first national tours, been on Broadway, worked with Cyndi Lauper, Brendan Urie, Andrew Loyd Webber, and many others. And now – Hernando is Co-Owner of CBD Dog Health. Hernando works tirelessly to share the benefits of CBD with pet parents across the country. CBD was life-changing for him and his dogs, and he could not be happier to be in a business doing something he loves so much that helps dogs like Blanche and Linda live a happy, stress-free life.
