Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes this "advanced" compared to a regular joint chew?

Ans: This formula exceeds simple Glucosamine and Chondroitin by including Collagen, Green Lipped Mussel, and a broader Omega spectrum, providing enhanced support for senior dogs or those with significant joint issues, especially compared to earlier-stage formulas in the NaturVet range.

Q2: Do I need to double the dose when starting this chew?

Ans: Yes. Double the daily amount for the first three weeks, then switch to the regular maintenance amount shown on the usage chart. This loading period helps establish support more quickly for dogs needing advanced joint care right from the start.

Q3: Is this chew safe for a dog with a shellfish allergy?

Ans: Not necessarily. This formula contains two shellfish-sourced ingredients, Glucosamine and Green Lipped Mussel, so dogs with a known shellfish allergy could react to either one. Check with your veterinarian before starting if allergies are a concern for your dog.

Q4: What should I do if my dog isn't improving on this supplement?

Ans: If your dog's condition worsens or does not improve with this chew, stop administering it and seek advice from your veterinarian. As this is an advanced formula, persistent problems might require additional diagnostics or an alternative treatment plan.

Q5: What's included in this formula that a basic joint chew doesn't have?

Ans: This chew goes beyond standard Glucosamine and Chondroitin by including Collagen for connective tissue support, Green Lipped Mussel to reduce inflammation, and a complete Omega-3, 6, and 9 spectrum that benefits the skin, coat, and joints, all in one daily serving.

Q6: Can I give this to a senior dog recovering from surgery?

Ans: Yes, this formula is tailored for senior dogs and post-surgical recovery, but you should still check with your veterinarian to confirm the timing and dosage according to your dog's individual recovery plan and any other medications.

Q7: Is this the same as the regular NaturVet Hemp Joint Health chew?

Ans: No, this advanced formula includes additional ingredients and higher doses of Glucosamine, along with Collagen and Green Lipped Mussel, which are not present in the standard Hemp Joint Health chew. This makes it more suitable for more demanding joint needs.
