Helps maintain healthy joints with glucosamine and chondroitin
•
Contain tasty chicken or duck breast
•
No fillers, hormones, antibiotics, or byproducts
How it works:
The active ingredients in Happy Hips include glucosamine and chondroitin. Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage in both humans and pets. It helps hydrate healthy joints by increasing the production of molecules that bind and hold water in the cartilage. Healthy cartilage provides cushioning which helps protect a pet's joints while exercising. Many believe that it provides clinical benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Further research on the effectiveness of glucosamine is still needed, but many of our customers find it to be very beneficial to their pets.
Cautions:
Diabetic or overweight pets that have problems with glucose tolerance should have their blood sugars monitored if they are given a glucosamine supplement.
