Anita’s Pure Joint Health for Dogs is a clean, powerful joint support supplement designed to help reduce inflammation, support recovery, and protect joint structure so dogs can keep doing what they love — running, jumping, playing, and living comfortably. Built for the Dogs Who Love to Move — and the Ones Who Want to AgainMost dogs will experience joint stiffness, hip discomfort, or mobility issues at some point in their lives — whether from aging, genetics, high activity, or everyday wear and tear. This isn’t about masking pain. It’s about supporting the joints from the inside out — naturally. Why Joint Health Matters for DogsHealthy joints are essential for: Comfortable movement and flexibility Strong hips and connective tissue Long-term mobility and independence Injury prevention in active and working dogs As dogs age — or if they’re genetically predisposed to hip and joint issues — the cartilage, synovial fluid, and connective tissues that cushion their joints begin to break down. This can lead to: Stiffness after rest Slower movement Hesitation when jumping or climbing stairs Reduced activity and quality of life That’s why so many pet parents search for “the best joint supplement for dogs” — because proactive joint care can make a real difference. What Makes Anita’s Pure Joint Health DifferentWe focus on clinically respected, naturally sourced ingredients — with no unnecessary fillers, preservatives, or artificial additives. Green Lipped Mussel PowderA gold-standard ingredient in natural joint support for dogs, green lipped mussels provide a unique combination of: Omega-3 fatty acids Eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA) — a rare compound shown to help fight joint inflammation and discomfort Unlike standard fish oil, green lipped mussels support joint health through multiple inflammatory pathways, making them especially effective for dogs with stiffness or joint pain. Why dog parents love it: ✔ Supports joint comfort ✔ Helps reduce inflammation ✔ Promotes smoother movement Eggshell membrane is a natural source of: Collagen Elastin Hyaluronic acid These compounds help maintain and rebuild joint tissue, supporting the cushioning and flexibility dogs need for everyday movement. Why it matters: Eggshell membrane helps protect joints before damage becomes permanent — making it ideal for both senior dogs and active, athletic dogs. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)GAGs are naturally occurring compounds found in healthy cartilage and connective tissue. They play a key role in: Joint lubrication Shock absorption Range of motion and flexibility As dogs age, GAG production decreases — which is why supplementation can help support mobility, comfort, and long-term joint resilience. Who This Joint Supplement Is For ✔ Senior dogs showing signs of stiffness ✔ Large breeds prone to hip and joint issues ✔ Active, sport, or working dogs ✔ Dogs recovering from injury or intense activity ✔ Any dog needing proactive joint and mobility support Whether your dog is slowing down or still full of energy, joint health support helps keep them moving comfortably for years to come. Benefits Pet Parents Can Expect Supports hip and joint health Helps reduce inflammation and joint discomfort Promotes mobility, flexibility, and range of motion Aids in recovery after activity Helps protect joints from long-term wear and tear Clean formula with no fillers or preservatives Clean, Simple, Purpose-DrivenAt Anita’s Pure Nutrition, we believe dogs deserve ingredients that serve a purpose — and nothing that doesn’t. ✔ No artificial fillers ✔ No preservatives ✔ No unnecessary additives ✔ Just targeted joint support your dog can use How to UseEasily mix into your dog’s daily food. Consistent daily use supports best results, especially when paired with a balanced diet and appropriate activity. Support Their Movement. Protect Their Future.Joint health isn’t just about aging — it’s about keeping dogs active, comfortable, and confident in their movement at every stage of life.Active Ingredients (Per Serving) Glucosamine (as Glucosamine HCl) — 1.5 g Perna canaliculus (Green-Lipped Mussel) Powder — 1.13 g Chondroitin Sulfate (Bovine) — 510 mg Natural Eggshell Membrane — 450 mg Hyaluronic Acid (as Sodium Hyaluronate) — 40 mg Other IngredientsBamboo Stem/Shoot Extract Allergen InformationContains egg and shellfish (shrimp, crab, and/or lobster) Anita’s Pure Joint Health for Dogs delivers trusted, natural joint support — so your dog can keep moving the way they were meant to.
