Remedies

The ingredients themselves, and who each one is appropriate for.

  • Glucosamine Dogs and cats. The oldest joint supplement on the shelf, and the one with the most mixed evidence behind it.
  • Chondroitin Dogs and cats. Almost always paired with glucosamine, rarely studied on its own.
  • Green lipped mussel Dogs and cats. A whole food source of omega 3s and glycosaminoglycans, fed as a powder.
  • Fish oil Dogs and cats. The supplement with the least controversial evidence base in the whole aisle.
  • Turmeric Dogs. Dosed and studied in dogs. Cats clear it differently, so the dog formulations do not simply scale down.
  • MSM Dogs. A sulfur compound that shows up in most canine joint blends and almost no feline ones.
  • CBD oil Dogs and cats. The most asked about and least consistently labelled product on this site.
  • Hemp oil Dogs and cats. Sometimes a CBD product, sometimes a seed oil. The label decides which.
  • L-theanine Dogs and cats. A calming amino acid with a real, modest, well tolerated effect.
  • Melatonin Dogs and cats. Used for sleep, storm phobia and some coat conditions. Watch for xylitol in the tablets.
  • Probiotics Dogs and cats. Strain specific, shelf life sensitive, and worth buying carefully.
  • Quercetin Dogs and cats. The plant flavonoid marketed as nature's antihistamine, with the caveats that phrase deserves.
  • Reishi Dogs and cats. The calm and immune mushroom, and the one with the longest traditional record.
  • Turkey tail Dogs and cats. The mushroom with the single best known veterinary oncology study behind it.
  • Lion's mane Dogs and cats. Studied for nerve and cognition support, mostly outside veterinary medicine so far.
