If your dog has arthritis or joint pain, nothing outperforms glucosamine. But, there's a big problem with glucosamine supplements you need to know about.
Glucosamine is a natural substance that your dog naturally makes. But when dogs get older, they produce less of it, which is why a lot of dogs develop arthritis as they age. And that's a problem because glucosamine helps repair joint cartilage, and keeps the right consistency in the synovial fluid that lubricates the joints. So if there's not enough glucosamine, your dog can develop sharp, jaggedy edges on the bones in his joints and the fluid inside the joint will be sticky - and this means pain, stiffness and lack of mobility.
The #1 food based source of glucosamine would be green lipped mussels. They naturally contain really large amounts of glucosamine and chondroitin. The really cool thing about green lipped mussels is that they're COX inhibitors just like prescription joint meds are … so they offer the same anti-inflammatory benefits. But unlike prescription joint meds, they also contain LOX inhibitors so they don't harm the liver and gut lining. Green lipped mussels can take a little longer to work in your dog, but it's totally worth it because they're much safer than prescription meds - plus, a good GLM powder will contain a good helping of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats. Just make sure they're So how well do green lipped mussels work? A 2007 study on dogs found that 3/4 of them didn't need any other joint or pain meds. But the green lipped mussels must be at least 5% fat to see those great results. Give 400mg for every 25 pounds of weight. Dogs love the taste, so you can just sprinkle it right on food.
Coming in at a really close second is eggshell membrane - which is also called NEM. This is the delicate little lining on the insides of egg shells. NEM is a natural source of glucosamine, along with other joint friendly proteins like chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. The cool thing about NEM is that it's been clinically tested and found to decrease pain and stiffness and reduce pain in people with arthritis. The dose for NEM is 150mg per 25 pounds. It's a good idea to double the dose for the first 10 days or so to get best results.
You can also use certain foods to get more glucosamine into your dog. This isn't as sophisticated as green lipped mussels or NEM because there isn't the same research and there's no tested amount that's been shown to work … but here are some common foods that are rich in glucosamine.
First is bone broth. You can buy bone broth in stores or make it yourself … but just be careful because bones are where lead, heavy metals and herbicides like glyphosate are stored. So bone can be a bit of a problem. So try to find the cleanest source you can.
Now, you can also feed animal joints that contain both bone and cartilage … these are all natural sources of glucosamine too. My favorite is beef trachea. It's easy to get and it contains a good amount of glucosamine. You can either feed it raw as part of your dog's meals - or you can buy freeze-dried or dehydrated trachea treats. Veal tails are also a good choice, as are rabbit feet and ears. Plus, you can feed those with the fur on because fur is a great source of manganese, an important trace mineral that's also linked to healthy joints. Other good sources of glucosamine are chicken or turkey wings, feet and necks, along with pig feet and tails. But here's a warning - you have to remove the skin. Skin from pork and poultry is incredibly high in pro-inflammatory omega-6 fats. You want to decrease inflammation in your dog, so feeding a lot of omega-6 fats will set you back quite a bit. So just be sure to trim off all the skin if you're using pork or poultry as your source of glucosamine. Now if you have a question about natural supplements, just leave a comment below and I'll be happy to help you out.

• The Best Glucosamine F... - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
The speaker discusses the importance of glucosamine for dogs with arthritis or joint pain, emphasizing that aging dogs produce less glucosamine naturally, leading to joint issues. They highlight green lipped mussels as the top food-based source of glucosamine due to their high content of glucosamine and chondroitin. Green lipped mussels also provide anti-inflammatory benefits without harming the liver and gut lining. The speaker advises using green lipped mussels with at least 5% fat and provides a recommended dosage of 400mg for every 25 pounds of weight.
The speaker also mentions eggshell membrane (NEM) as another effective source of glucosamine, containing joint-friendly proteins like chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. They recommend a dosage of 150mg per 25 pounds of weight, with a higher initial dose for the first 10 days.
Additionally, the speaker suggests incorporating certain foods rich in glucosamine into a dog's diet, such as bone broth and animal joints containing bone and cartilage. However, they caution against feeding bones with skin, as it is high in pro-inflammatory omega-6 fats, which can exacerbate inflammation.
Overall, the speaker provides comprehensive information on natural sources of glucosamine for dogs and encourages viewers to ask questions about natural supplements. They conclude by asking viewers to like, share, and spread the word about the video.
Several viewers inquire about specific brands of green lipped mussel supplements for their dogs. They seek recommendations for reputable brands that offer quality products. However, specific brand names are not mentioned in the comments provided. Instead, viewers express interest in finding supplements made from whole freeze-dried green lipped mussels, emphasizing the importance of sourcing high-quality products for their pets' joint health. Therefore, while viewers seek guidance on brand recommendations, the comments do not specify particular brands of green lipped mussel supplements.
Thank you! Just the info I needed.
You're welcome!
I like the way you talk to people, simple,direct and rich videos,thanks.
Thank you for the valuable information.
Our pleasure!
I love this video and all your videos. Finally, some precise info. Thank you, Dana!
Thank you !!! Very good information !❤️👍
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Pleaseeeeeeee recommend a product. I’m going crazy finding green lipped mussel with minimum 5% lipid… you’ve just made a video and the product is no where to be found.. thanks
Hello. Do you recommend rose-hip?
Also where can we find if the supplement I’m giving to my dog has lead?
Thank you for the information , I was also unaware of removing the skin from poultry.
You're welcome. Glad you found it informative!
Me to
Same! 😮
Hello! Thanks for all this info!
Wondering about pig ears?
I give these as a chewy treat weekly but got worried about the skin and Omega-6 issue!
You could replace pig ears with beef trachea.
I have super snouts glm powder, what other supplement would you recommend?
Thanks for the video this should help my mom out with our older female Shih Tzu.
You're welcome!😊
Great watch Dana, thanks!
One thing you missed is letting people know to make sure the GLM supplements they buy are from “whole freeze dried” GLM as a lot of the GLM supplements out there come from GLM that has already had the oil extracted, so a lot of the fatty acids and health benefits are gone.
And what about Deer Velvet as a natural source or aminos?
Cheers!
I don't think deer velvet can be ethically harvested so that's a hard stop for me personally. - Dana
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM Reading about it it seems deer velvet is the only renewable source in the world, no? Don't they grow them each season?
And what are your thoughts on the GLM extraction?
Do you have any suggestions for dogs with shellfish allergies?
So interesting, I'm trying to learn as much as I can as our dog is almost ten years old and has been healthy but is starting to have knee pain not sure yet what it is. I have always cooked for him and buy supplements from Dogs naturally, you are so amazing I admire your love for dogs, Thank you so much. Carolyn Haig
Hi Carolyn!
Thank you for the kind words!
HI Dana. What brands of Green Lip Muscle or NEM do you recommend as a good source?
Four Leaf Rover's Green Eggs is a great source of green lipped mussels, NEM, poria and curcumin. It's an easy to give powder that dogs love the taste of!
Any specific brands of joint supplements or store-bought bone broth that you recommend?
Hi Dana! We have a 3 year old yellow lab and recently found out that she is allergic to chicken. We have been giving her pure mobility max strength joint support but the first ingredient is natural chicken flavor. Do you recommend ny natural joint support that does not contain chicken?
Dana, if I have green lipped mussels in dehydrated for from NZ and also dehydrated lamb is that enough for my older dog
Yes, dehydrated are good as well:)
Hi Dana,
Thanks for excellent info!
Have a 9 year old malteese who is starting to have joint problems
I feed him 1 or 2 dried greenlipped muscles (Suggested to grow in pristine New Zealand waters) per day and also a small bit (About 2 inch of small diameter) of shark cartlidge
Also making some gelatine treats for him and give him some bone broth (small amount) made from lambs bones
Any comments to improve on this and so extend his "Quality of Life"?
He also gets a monthly Synovan injection!
Beef trachea, raw, dehydrated or freeze dried, would be a great chew to add in to help with joint problems. Adding NEM eggshell membrane would also help with pain and inflammation, it's also rich in chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid and collagen.
Hi! Thank you for this! May i share my advice for arthritis in dogs? We have 3 dogs with arthritis and we've been using Antinol for the past couple fo years and its made such an amazing difference. Changed our dog's lives! would highly recommend to any pet owners with pets suffering from arthritis.
Are your dogs seniors? And where do you buy it from?
Thanks for this Dana, very educational indeed. Are gizzards a good source of glucosamine too? I also have a question about decaf green tea. I read in one of your newsletters that they are safe and healthy for dogs. The one I bought contains 10mg of caffeine per tea bag. Though it is labelled as decaffeinated. Will 10mg of caffeine harm my dog? I haven't tried giving it to him though. Thanks for all your help!
Gizzards are not a good source of glucosamine. I don't love green tea for dogs, it does make me nervous. What are you using it for? Many of the polyphenols found in green tea are also found in fruit.
Do eggs also increase or worsen the condition?
Should I start with a ten month old puppy especially when I hear his little joints crack sometimes
Green lip mussel powder -- what brand do you recommend?
Four Leaf Rover, checkout Green Eggs, we will link the product below.

Hi, nice video, thankyou. 8 have a question…..if you need to take off poultry skin because of omega 6, are the dried chicken feet ok…..or are they high in omega 6 as well? Thankyou very much.
Hi Dana, great video. My 8 y/o mutt have been pausing before the stairs after our strolls, so I'm suspecting the beginning of arthritis. I'm thinking of using chicken bones/legs (no skin) as a source of glucosamine since from your recommendations it's the most available here. I read that using a crockpot to slow cook the chicken would make it safe for her to eat the bones as well. My questions are: 1. Is that a good idea in general? 2. Would it be ok to cook a full pot, deep freeze most of it and heat a portion in the microwave every day? 3. Can you recommend a daily portion size (even a ballpark estimate would be great)? she is about 60 lbs. Her usual food is senior super premium kibble and an omelette from 2 chicken eggs every other day + a bit of treats. Thanks!
Hi Dana! Thank you for the great information. Our beautiful 8 year old golden retriever is just starting to show signs of stiffness in her back legs. Just scheduled x-rays for her hips and knees. She has been taking Green Eggs from Four Leaf Rover for just over a year now. She is 80lbs and we increased her dosage to 1 1/4 tsp daily. ( suggested serving for up to 100 lbs) should we increase this amount. Thank you for your time
You could try giving her 1 1/2 teaspoons and see how that helps🙂
Would deer trachea have similar benefits? Either raw or roasted.
It sure would. :)
Hi Dana! Thank you so much for the helpful information. My 7year old pomeranian she’s 8lbs and I am feeding her 2g freezing green lipped muscles per day. Am I doing right at all? Thank you so much!!
The recommended amount for a (roughly) 10lb dog comes to 160mg of powdered green lipped mussels per day. Are you giving frozen mussels or freeze dried? :)
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM I cooked the mussels and freeze them when I feed my dog I just unfreeze in microwave
Thank you for this life changing info! 💖🤯 really, this changed my life!!
About how many eggs do I need in order to get the 125mg? Better question, about how many milligrams are in one egg?
Thank you again! 🐾
Hi Dana,
I have a miniture Shar Pei that was diagnosed with FSF after several episodes. The green lipped mussels, being high in
protein, can this be dangerous for her?
If you are concerned, it would be best to check with your holistic vet!
Can dogs have a shellfish allergy to the green lipped mussels?
I listened to your information for arthritis and the best supplements for glucosamine and condroitin to give. Thank You so much for your information😊 I found a supplement, VET IQ 5-IN-1 soft chews. Is this a good supplement to give her?
My Boston Terrier loves to run and jump. How early or at what age can we start giving her glucosamine?
Hi Dana, We switched our 11 year old Golden retriever to an all raw diet recipe that we saw from you a couple of years ago. It calls for chicken necks, which we use. Would chicken necks contain much omega 6? Our Golden has stiff joints and we now have her on the Four Leaf Rover Hip and joint(just started it). thanks
Hi! What about COSEQUIN glucosamine? On the bottle it says :
Glucosamine hydrochloride 600 mg
Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate (derived from bovine cartilage) 300 mg
MSM 250 mg
Manganese Abscorbate 3 mg
Is this a good product ???
Where can you buy nem eggshell membrane in Canada
Health food stores may have it. Or you could try Four Leaf Rover's Green Eggs, it has green lipped mussels, NEM, poria and curcumin, it's an easy to give powder and dogs love the taste!
Can you please tell me how quickly I should see improvement with pain/mobility if I start giving my dog Four Leaf Rover's Green Eggs ?
I use the four leaf rover green lipped mussel oil, fluid recovery x joint supplement, NEM and homemade bone broth to my girl with LP grade 2. I also stretch her hind legs daily and I must just say she doesn’t limp anymore
That's great!
Hi, may I know what brand of NEM did you use? Can we use a human NEM supplement for dog?
I would think that pasture-reared pork skin would be okay to feed as it is probably much lower in Omega-6. Any studies on this? What about truly free-range chicken that has minimal grain supplementation, too?
Yep! Pastured pork and poultry are quite good i their omega 6:3 ratio
How about if your dog is less than 25 pounds how much did you give?
Hi, is chicken paw can give to dog
Chicken feet are a good treat, just remember to remove the skin.
Vet says dog hip displacia yet some time both leg paralysis trying heal naturally as vet wants give ontiflamerary and gabripentin just pain meds
Will adding chia to a dog's diet to help with joint pains be recommended?
Green lipped mussels are high in anti-inflammatory fats, so that might be a better option to help with joint pain. NEM eggshell membrane has also been studied and it shows that it can reduce joint pain within 7-10 days.
@@DogsNaturallyMagazineDNM thank you appreciate the response.
Can I give cooked green lipped mussels, how many?... What are your thoughts on turmeric golden paste for joints, I'm hesitant to offering it too often because of the studies done on Iron deficiency anemia.
I start when they're pups... raw meaty bones which contain cartilage I think is the best natural support for bones. My dogs love stuffed dehydrated, or raw trachea as a lovely treat. Also the dog needs to be absorbing nutrients, if it has digestive imbalances, it won't be absorbing all nutrients from their diet. Gut microbiome is important. Bone broth is great for the gut too
Bone broth can be high in lead and glyphosate, so be careful. If you cooke the GLM, you will destroy the fatty acids and phospholipids that are a large part of their benefits. As for golden paste, I do question the bioavailability - I would opt for a natural product that is water soluble.
One more question..do you know anything about the company Springtime? Our girl has been on Longevity from them for years and now I am freaked out after you mentioned msm and chondroitin supplements ( which Longevity has in it) not being truthful with some ingredient dosage. I appreciate your knowledge.
The best thing to do is to ask for an analysis - any company that doesn't give you an analysis probably shouldn't be who you're buying from. :)
How do you know if a green lipped mussel powder is made from mussels that are 5% fat?
They should all come with an analysis - otherwise, don't buy them. The mussels we source for Green Eggs contain more than 5% fat. Here's a link to Green Eggs (and you can ask the customer service team for the analysis of the mussels too): thenaturaldogstore.com/products/four-leaf-rover-green-eggs
I use chicken feet to feed my dog with hip and joint problems and it works like magic. You'll have to cook it for many hours though. In another language "Off the bone"
Are the dried ones ok?
Question: if im going to give my dog NEM, do i just put egg shell in her food bowl? Do i separate the membrane from the shell and give just the membrane? Can she get salmonella from that?
You can peel eggshell membrane off the inside of an eggshell yourself. But a supplement is a much easier way to give your dog NEM®.😊
I’m interested in this topic as I have a 13 year old pug with decreasing mobility. I read the following so now I need to educate myself on the source location of the mussels that I buy: Other potential negative impacts include competition with the oyster fishery, displacement of native mussels, and carriers of diseases and parasites harmful to native species. In addition to parasites and diseases, the green-lipped mussels can accumulate toxic substances when they grow in polluted waters, which wen consumed can cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning.
Green lipped mussels ARE native to New Zealand. The mussels we purchase are thoroughly tested for heavy metals and toxins.
OK so where do I get the muscles at so I can get glucosamine in my dog
You may be able to find them in the seafood section at your local grocery store.
You can buy Green Lipped Mussels online or get them at your grocery store. You can also find supplements with them in it.
Hello. Do I also need to remove the skin of chicken feet?
The problem with chicken skin is the gross amount of omega-6 fats. Why not try an alternative source? The skin should be removed but it would be really hard! The alternative is to find pastured chickens that aren't fed grain.
Glucosamine, green lipped mussel, ashwagandha, MSM, Bromelain , Olive tree, salmon oil..........my dogs daily supplements
Your editing makes me dizzy 🙃this is not a rollercoaster please, stick with 1 frame of the person talking
Thank you for your feedback!
Jesus this woman does spend a lot of time talking about nothing 🤦🏻
I have super snouts glm powder, what other supplement would you recommend?
