Chondroitin
Chondroitin is a natural compound found in animal cartilage and is commonly used to support joint health in dogs. It helps maintain cartilage structure, improve mobility, and reduce inflammation in conditions like arthritis.
Why do we feed?
Chondroitin promotes water retention and elasticity in the cartilage, ensuring that your dog's joints have adequate shock absorption and nourishment of the tissues that line the joint. Chondroitin may also inhibit the production of destructive inflammatory mediators in the joint. Incorporating chondroitin-rich foods into your dog's diet can help support their joint health naturally.
How do we feed?
Many natural foods contain chondroitin or substances that support its production, and these can be incorporated into a dog's diet to promote joint health. Cartilaginous foods, including poultry feet, pig and lamb trotters, tracheas, bone broth, and green-lipped mussels, all contain chondroitin.
