NaturVet Hemp Joint Health Plus Hemp Seed Soft Chews for Dogs, 60 count

Hemp-Enhanced Everyday Joint Soft Chews for Dogs

Product Description

NaturVet Joint Care with Hemp Seed Soft Chews blend Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin, and Hemp Seed into one everyday joint formula for dogs over 12 weeks old. Omega-3 fatty acids round things out, helping maintain cartilage health, joint lubrication, and ease occasional stiffness from daily activity or aging. It's a simpler, hemp-boosted alternative to NaturVet's basic Glucosamine line, suited for active dogs of any age.

Benefits

• Glucosamine & MSM: These two ingredients work together to support cartilage health and ease everyday joint stiffness over time.
• Hemp Seed Boost: Hemp Seed Oil and Powder add extra nutritional support alongside the core joint-care ingredients here.
• Chondroitin Support: Chondroitin Sulfate helps maintain joint lubrication and supports overall cartilage resilience in active dogs daily.
• Antioxidant Vitamins: Vitamin C and Vitamin E help protect joint and connective tissue cells from everyday wear.
• Simple, Everyday Formula: A straightforward step up from basic Glucosamine, without the extra ingredients found in advanced formulas.
• NASC Quality Standard: NaturVet is a founding preferred supplier of the National Animal Supplement Council and follows cGMP standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does this compare to NaturVet's basic Glucosamine DS chew?

Ans: This formula adds Hemp Seed Oil and Powder alongside the same Glucosamine, MSM, and Chondroitin base, giving a bit more nutritional variety without moving into the Collagen and Green Lipped Mussel found in NaturVet's Advanced Hemp formula.

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 your dog.

Q3: Is this chew appropriate for younger, active dogs or only seniors?

Ans: It works well for dogs of any age, from active adults to seniors, since it's formulated as an everyday maintenance chew rather than one targeted specifically at post-surgical recovery or advanced joint issues.

Q4: Does this contain MSM, like the Level 2 Glucosamine DS Plus formula?

Ans: Yes, this chew includes MSM alongside Glucosamine and Chondroitin, similar to the Level 2 formula, but it also adds Hemp Seed Oil and Powder, which the Glucosamine DS Plus line does not include.

Q5: What should I do if my dog isn't improving on this supplement?

Ans: If your dog's condition worsens or does not improve while using this chew, stop giving it and consult your veterinarian, since ongoing joint issues may need further evaluation or a different care plan.

Q6: Is there a shellfish allergy risk with this chew?

Ans: Yes, potentially. The Glucosamine used here is sourced from shellfish, so dogs with a known shellfish allergy may react to it. Check the ingredient panel and speak with your veterinarian if allergies are a concern.

Q7: How is this different from the Advanced Hemp Joint Health chew?

Ans: This everyday formula sticks to Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin, and Hemp Seed with a single Omega-3 source, while the Advanced version adds Collagen, Green Lipped Mussel, and a fuller Omega-3, 6, and 9 spectrum for more demanding joint needs.
