Complementary pet feed with glucosamine, chondroitin & MSM — use alongside a balanced diet. Some dogs slow down as they get older, or after a hard day out. Calmdogs® Active Hip & Joint Chews are a complementary pet feed you can add to their daily routine, made with glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and vitamins C & E in an easy, tasty soft chew. What you're getting Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and vitamins C & E as part of everyday nutrition. Supports everyday activity and movement as part of a balanced routine. Helps maintain normal joint function, with every active quantified per chew — no proprietary blends. Antioxidant vitamins C & E for nutritional support through adult and senior life stages. Soft-chew format that's simple to give with meals or training, and non-sedating. Designed to be used alongside a balanced diet, appropriate exercise and your vet's guidance. Before you buy — two things worth knowing Sourcing. The glucosamine is shellfish-derived and the chondroitin is porcine. Most brands don't tell you this. If your dog has a known shellfish sensitivity, or your household avoids pork, that is a real consideration and you should have it before you order rather than after. Flavour. These are chicken and duck flavoured. They will not suit a chicken-sensitive dog. Please note this is different from our Calmdogs® calming chews, which are turkey-based — the two products have different flavour bases and one does not stand in for the other. How to use Follow the daily feeding guide, which is banded by body weight: up to 25 lbs (11 kg) 1 soft chew daily, 26–75 lbs (12–34 kg) 2 soft chews daily, over 75 lbs (35 kg+) 3 soft chews daily. Start with half the recommended amount for the first few days, then build up. Chews can be given together or split between morning and evening. Introduce gradually, and provide fresh water at all times. Joint supplements are generally described as needing several weeks rather than days, so give it a fair run before forming a view.

Important Complementary feed for dogs. Not a veterinary medicine. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease or joint conditions, and it cannot reverse joint damage that has already occurred. Arthritis and other joint conditions are veterinary diagnoses and need veterinary management. A complementary feed sits alongside that, never instead of it. Safe use in pregnant animals, or animals intended for breeding, has not been established. Use with caution in dogs with hyperthyroid disease. If your dog is limping, holding a leg up, yelping, or has changed suddenly, see your vet rather than reaching for a supplement.
