What the pain-pill leaflet says

Most owners never read it. Here is what it lists.

  • Liver
  • Kidneys
  • Stomach

Those are the possible side effects listed in the leaflets of common daily pain pills for dogs. And pills only mask the pain. They do not rebuild what is wearing down inside his joints.

Meet the green-lipped mussel

It grows only in the cold, clean waters of New Zealand. The bright emerald edge of its shell gives it its name.

Inside, it holds a mix nature rarely puts together: rare omega-3s, including one called ETA, plus the natural building blocks of cartilage.

Why most mussel products do nothing

The active compounds are fragile. Most mussel powders are heat-dried to cut costs, and the heat destroys the very thing your dog needs.

"I tried this first. My vet is now recommending it."

At the 8-week checkup my vet watched Max walk around the room and asked what I had changed.

"Every morning I watched him struggle. Three weeks later I was crying happy tears."

Around day 10 he was getting up a little faster. By week 3 he was on his feet before I even made it to the kitchen.

"Our 45-minute walks had become 10 minutes. I thought that was just our life now."

After about a month she started pulling forward instead of pulling home. We are back to 40 minutes now.
