What is in the joint blend

The recipe opens with devil's claw, the root of a plant that grows in southern Africa and has long been used in herbal medicine for the musculoskeletal system. Right after it comes green-lipped mussel powder, a marine ingredient that is a natural source of glycosaminoglycans, the same compounds that joint supplements provide separately.

The full composition is: devil's claw, fenugreek seeds, milk thistle seeds, green-lipped mussel powder, nettle leaves, meadowsweet herb, agrimony herb, hawthorn leaves, calendula flowers, yarrow herb, cinquefoil, rosehip shells. It comes as a loose powder, with the ingredients dried and ground, and contains no artificial colours or preservatives.

Devil's claw and green-lipped mussel

These two ingredients define the character of the whole blend and set it apart from the others. The rest of the recipe works around them. Fenugreek seeds are a source of plant mucilage here, and hawthorn leaves were added to the recipe for the circulatory system, which in an active dog works hand in hand with the musculoskeletal system.

What else is in the mix

Next comes a set of general tonic herbs: nettle leaves, meadowsweet herb, agrimony, calendula and yarrow. The recipe is completed by rosehip shells and milk thistle seeds, which in herbal blends usually look after the liver.

Which dogs is it for

This blend is most often chosen by owners of large breeds, sporting dogs and seniors, in other words wherever the musculoskeletal system works harder than average. It also works well as a regular addition for a dog that runs a lot.

How much to add to the bowl

A 5 kg dog gets half a gram a day, a 10 kg dog one gram, a 20 kg dog two grams and a 30 kg dog three grams. A level teaspoon is roughly three to five grams, so for a small dog we are talking about a pinch, not a spoonful. You give it once a day, with a meal.

How to serve it so your dog eats it

The herbs are light and settle at the bottom of the bowl with dry food. Mix them into a moist portion or sprinkle the dry food with water or broth. You can also mix the dose with a spoonful of wet food and only then combine it with the rest.

How it differs from the other blends

All eight have one theme per pack, so the easiest way to choose is by comparison. DOGTOR for gut protection, DOGTOR for metabolism and DOGTOR for strong bones are built differently. We have gathered the full set of blends in the herbs for dogs category, and the liquid versions in functional oils.
