Signature feature

Glucosamine & Chondroitin clinically proven to support joint health

Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
The clinical work behind these compounds uses supplement doses. A full day's ration of this food delivers a fraction of that, so treat it as a small top-up, not a replacement for a joint chew.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Fish oil and shrimp meal, the two joint ingredients, sit 12th and 14th, above the salt. Real amounts, but well behind chicken and three grains.
