Benefits of Green-lipped mussel for animals
Just like humans, pets can experience joint pain issues including arthritis and osteoarthritis. Unfortunately there is no cure for arthritis in pets, but there are many remedies you can use to reduce their symptoms and relieve their pain. Oftentimes when prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the pain, the side effects for your dog or cat can be undesirable. Therefore, a lot of people have searched out more natural alternatives, and ultimately stumble across the power of green-lipped mussels.
Green-lipped mussels contain a range of Omega fatty acids, not found in any other marine species or plant. These specific fatty acids and essential Omega 3s support the nutritional maintenance of bone and joint structures. The green-lipped mussel (perna canaliculus) is endemic to New Zealand and provides a rich source of glucosamine, chondroitin, glycogens, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Benefits of green-lipped mussels for pets:

Help dogs to stop scratching and biting

How much green-lipped mussel should I give my pet?
The amount of green-lipped mussel you give your pet will depend on the type of food (treat vs supplement) and the size of your pet.
Our freeze-dried treats should be used for what they are – treats. They are not a substitute for a normal meal and work better for training purposes. Giving them out too readily could reduce their effectiveness at getting the behavior you want.
On the other hand, our supplements can be used more frequently. All of our vitals range have been created as a daily nutritional boost to be either sprinkled over food or poured over. The more frequent the use, the better results you will notice.
NUTREATS Green-lipped mussel products:
NUTREATS is known for creating products that utilise the green-lipped mussel, many of which are formed using high-grade freeze-drying technologies.
Traditional air-drying uses heat, which degrades and destroys many essential nutrients. By contrast, our freeze-drying equipment has been specifically designed to retain as much of the original product as possible. This is why our treats look exactly like the original raw material, instead of being shrunken and compacted. Animals are highly sensitive, and they just love the natural smell, form and texture of our products.
