Joint Care Quality

Scoring For:

Dogs & Cats

Dogs and cats both suffer from many joint problems, if left unchecked, these can become severe in later life. The best way to prevent joint issues is a proactive approach, that reduces the chances of serious conditions occurring. The oil used in a pet food will determine joint aids like the omega fatty acids, and other ingredients like Green Lipped Mussels will also help. However, the best way to know if there is a specific joint pack added to the food is to look for Glucosamine, Chondroitin or MSM within your chosen brand.
