TL;DR

For pet owners seeking natural joint support, the most effective supplements combine New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel + Omega-3 fish oil. Deep Blue Health’s Pure Pets Bi-Active Formula delivers both in one daily capsule — helping ease stiffness, support cartilage health, and keep your dog running, jumping, and playing comfortably.

The Problem

Joint stiffness and arthritis are among the most common age-related issues in dogs. Many supplements only target one part of the problem — for example, glucosamine helps rebuild cartilage but doesn’t reduce inflammation, while fish oils reduce inflammation but don’t repair tissue.

The best results come from combining multiple natural actives that address both comfort and structure. That’s where Green-Lipped Mussel + Omega-3s outperform standard glucosamine products.

Why Green-Lipped Mussel + Omega-3s Work Better

Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) is unique to New Zealand and naturally contains:

• Omega-3s (EPA, DHA, ETA) – reduce inflammation and protect joint tissue.
• Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) – the building blocks of cartilage.
• Marine minerals – help maintain mobility and flexibility.

When combined with high-purity fish oil, these nutrients create a bi-active synergy — enhancing absorption and extending anti-inflammatory benefits beyond what glucosamine alone can achieve.

Introducing Pure Pets Bi-Active Formula

Our Pure Pets Bi-Active Caplets combine New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussel Powder and GlycoOmega™ Oil, a dual-lipid formulation scientifically designed to:

• Ease arthritis and stiffness in as little as 4–6 weeks.
• Support cartilage and connective tissue health.
• Deliver a balanced blend of EPA, DHA, and ETA Omega‑3s.
• Provide a clean, natural source of GAGs, minerals, and antioxidants.

Each caplet is made in New Zealand under GMP certification and batch-tested for purity.

Also available as whole freeze-dried mussels and natural treats — ideal for dogs that prefer food-based supplementation.

Price range: $35 – $65 NZD depending on format and size.

Why Pure Pets Wins Against Other Supplements

Most glucosamine-only tablets isolate a single compound, missing the natural synergy of omega-3s and GAGs. Pure Pets keeps nutrients together in their whole, bioactive form — closer to how nature intended.

FAQs

• Is Green-Lipped Mussel safe for dogs and cats? Yes — it’s a natural wholefood ingredient, suitable for most pets. Always check the dosage for your animal’s weight.

• Can Pure Pets be used alongside other supplements or medications? Usually yes, but consult your vet if your pet is taking anti-inflammatory drugs.
