Which Green Lipped Mussel Dog Food is Best?

Clinical studies have shown that giving green lipped mussel extract to dogs is a very effective natural treatment for arthritis, providing the same health benefits as it does in humans. However, having decided to give the extract to your dog, you may be wondering what’s the best green lipped mussel dog food?

The choice can be confusing as there are a range of products on the market. These include:

• Pedigree Joint Care — dry treats for dogs that incorporate a blend of natural ingredients that target arthritis. The main ingredients are omega 3 fatty acids (helps promote joint flexibility) green lipped mussel powder (a rich source of chrondroitin, which helps to provide building blocks for healthy joints),and glucosamine (helps to rebuild joint tissue).
• GREENIES JointCare Canine Treats –award winning dog treats in the US, with added green lipped mussel extract.
• Genesis Sensitive Hip & Joint Adult Dog Food — dry food for dogs formulated with chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine hydrochoride and mussel extract.
• Royal Canin Mobility Support — dry food for dogs formulated with mussel extract to promote joint health in adult dogs.
