Joint health for our canine companions
With joint disease being one of the most commonly diagnosed conditions in our four legged companions it’s understandable why many dog owners take their pets joint health seriously! While physical exercise heavily impacts the health of our dogs’ joints, the overall function of our pets joints can also be influenced by what goes into their dinner bowl. There are many supplements available to help promote a happy and healthy joint, but with so many available it can be hard to know where to turn and what to choose to help our beloved pets, whether we’re looking to promote healthy joints in younger dogs, or ease discomfort in older dogs.
Within this blog we’ll look at a selection of Pets Purest products designed to support and mange joint mobility throughout all stages of your pets life and explain the benefits of the 100% natural ingredients used.
100% Natural Premium Turmeric Curcumin Capsules
Ingredients: Organic Turmeric Root Powder (Curcuma Longa) 500mg extract 20:1 Equivalent to 10,000mg, Bioperine 5mg
Turmeric has been dubbed by many as a 'Wonder Spice' and not just for it’s unique taste, many studies have documented the health benefits of this common spice! In particular the spice is renowned for it’s anti-inflammatory properties which can be invaluable when looking at joint health in our pets. The Pets Purest 100% Natural Premium Turmeric Curcumin capsules are packed full Curcumin, the primary bioactive substance found in turmeric.
But before you go reaching for your spice rack its important to be aware that on it’s own, Curcumin is poorly absorbed, rapidly metabolised and quickly expelled from the body, meaning the full benefits of this impressive ingredient cannot be appreciated, that is why the Pets Purest capsules are paired with piperine. Piperine is the major active component of black pepper and when combined with curcumin has been shown to increase absorption rates of curcumin by up to 2000%!
It is important to remember with supplements, not all products are created equal, due to lack of regulation over the pet supplement market, things aren’t always as they seem. Pets Purest use only the strongest and most effective formula, the Pets Purest 500mg capsules are equivalent to 10,000mg of other weaker products.
100% Natural Joint & Hip Aid
Ingredients: Turmeric, Scutellaria Biacalensis, Uncaria, Boswellia.
A lot of dogs are pro’s at spitting out tablets or sniffing out unwanted extras in their meals. Pets Purest 100% Natural Joint & Hip aid is an easy to use, concentrated formula that not only giving better value for money but also removes the need for disguising tablets or wrestling pooches. The easy to administer drops can simply be mixed into your pets food or even dropped directly into your pets mouth using the practical no-mess pipette. This is a great option for pets who perhaps need to avoid the added calories often associated with that extra ham or cheese needed to sneak tablets and capsules into their bowls.
While we’ve already discussed the benefits of the well known turmeric, some of the other ingredients in this completely natural supplement may leave you scratching your head.
- Scuttellaria Biacalensis (more commonly referred to as ‘Chinese skullcap’), is a flowering plant that has been widely used as a medicinal plant in china for thousands of years. Along with other benefits the extracts of Scuttellaria baicalensis have been shown in previous studies to alleviate joint discomfort and reduce stiffness.
- Uncaria (more commonly known as ‘Cats Claw’), is a woody vine found in Central America and has been shown to reduce the clinical signs of arthritis in humans due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
- Boswellia is a large tree native to India, and similarly promotes its anti-inflammatory benefits, shrinking inflamed tissue, improves circulation and can even help to slow the progression of cartilage damage.

Hi, I have been giving the joint pro drops to my black labrador for about a month now and I have noticed a difference already. Occasionally on a walk she would start walking slowly, head down and not happy due to having bad spondylosis but she is much perkier. We have done a few slightly longer walks with no sign of discomfort afterwards. Thank you!
