The Science Behind Our Choices

Green lipped mussels (GLMs) are a type of shellfish native to New Zealand. They are a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are important for canine health. GLMs also contain a unique omega-3 fatty acid called eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. ETA is not found in other common omega-3 sources, such as fish oil.
GLMs may be a good choice for dogs who are allergic to fish, as they are not a type of fish. GLMs may also help to improve the absorption of EPA in the body.
In addition to their anti-inflammatory properties, GLMs may also offer other benefits for dogs, such as:
Reducing the risk of contaminants, as GLMs are less likely to contain heavy metals compared to fish oil
Providing additional nutrients, such as glucosamine and chondroitin, which support joint health
GLMs can be given to dogs in various forms, including whole, powder, or oil.
Overall, GLMs are a valuable source of omega-3 fatty acids, including the unique ETA, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. They offer a safe and effective alternative to fish oil, particularly for dogs with allergies. Consider incorporating GLMs into your dog's diet to support their overall health and well-being
