The natural extract of green-lipped mussel in DOG FIT by PreThis® JOINTS greenshell supports signs of wear and tear by improving the production of synovial fluid and providing more freedom of movement in acute joint problems. Examples of applications are hip joint dysplasia, higher patellar luxation and arthrosis, which can be treated in combination with JOINTS.

Our green-lipped mussel extract also contains natural B vitamins, which are involved in many important metabolic functions and support smooth nerve function. Nerve pathways can often be damaged when joints are damaged and B vitamins contribute to regeneration.

The product also contains vitamin E, which has an antioxidant effect and contains fat-soluble micronutrients. It is involved in the metabolism of proteins, protects cell membranes, reduces platelet aggregation and has functions in the neuromuscular system and immune defence.

The feeding recommendation for DOG FIT by PreThis® JOINTS greenshell is as follows:

• Dogs up to 2.5 kg: one capsule every 2 days
• Dogs from 2.5 to 35 kg: one capsule daily
• Dogs over 50 kg: 2 capsules daily

For hygienic reasons, the capsules should preferably be mixed in with the food or hidden in a treat. However, if the dog does not want to or cannot swallow them, the capsule can be pulled apart so that the contents can be mixed into the food or given together with some yoghurt, cottage cheese or liver sausage. As the capsules often consist of additional collagen, we recommend soaking them in water and mixing them into the food, especially with our joint preparations.

The capsules should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light.

Our products should be fed once a day. It does not matter whether this is in the morning or evening, together or separately. However, it is important to follow the dosage recommendation and give the product regularly.

We generally recommend the long-term use of our supplements, as supplements usually take a few weeks to develop their full effect. Continuous use is particularly important for problems with joints, the spine or intervertebral discs in order to achieve long-term results.

However, there are exceptions. For VITAL gastro, when used specifically to treat diarrhoea or soft stools, the recommended duration of use is usually around 5 days. This shorter duration refers exclusively to the underlying symptom. You can find more information on this in the "Use" section for the preparation VITAL gastro. For all other types of digestive and stomach problems or after worm or parasite infestation, VITAL gastro can be fed over a longer period of time without hesitation.

Preparations such as VITAL immune or VITAMIN B can also be fed only at times of high stress or prophylactically 2 to 3 times a year. Ultimately, however, the decision depends on your dog's individual needs and we are happy to help with this decision.

Yes, our products have been specially developed to be combined with each other. They form a self-contained and coordinated nutrient system that is designed to offer your dog the best possible support for various illnesses or in old age. Thanks to their targeted combination, they can develop particularly effective synergies depending on the illness or prophylactic goal and thus support holistic health promotion.

Our products are free from undesirable additives, including genetic engineering, animal testing, gluten, fructose, yeast, soya, palm oil, flavourings, sugar, cereals and preservatives. They therefore fulfil the highest requirements for very good feed supplements.

Yes, the manufacture of our products is certified in accordance with HACCP ISO 9001 and therefore complies with the highest German guidelines.

One bag contains 60 capsules and is sufficient for up to 2 months or longer, depending on the weight of the dog. It is similar with powder products, please refer to the product under contents and dosage.

The onset of effect depends on the type and severity of the underlying disease. It usually takes at least 6 weeks before the first positive effects can be noticed, possibly a little longer. Please be patient, as natural products need time to take effect.

JOINTS greenshell has a slight mussel or sea odor, which is due to the green-lipped mussel it contains. However, thanks to the gentle drying process, the product remains highly acceptable to dogs.

Preferably, you should add the capsule closed to the food. Only open the capsule if your dog does not want to swallow it and sprinkle the contents into the food. This has no influence on the effectiveness.

Your dog is initially hesitant to eat food with DOG FIT. In such cases, we recommend the following steps:

• Reduce the amount: If your dog does not accept powder or granular preparations, start with a smaller amount and gradually increase it. Some dogs need some time to get used to the new taste.
  With capsule preparations, it is usually enough to open them and mix the contents with the food. This is not a problem and does not affect the effectiveness, as many ingredients require pre-digestion in the stomach in order to be fully metabolized in the intestines. Since the capsules often consist of additional collagen, it is particularly recommended for our joint preparations to soften them in water and mix them with the food. For very small dogs, we recommend this approach either way - unfortunately there are no mini capsules.

• Mix it with treats: You can also combine the DOG FIT preparations with treats to make the taste more pleasant for your dog. Popular options include liver sausage, cottage cheese and similar snacks.

By following these steps, you can help your dog get used to the supplement while benefiting from the health benefits that DOG FIT offers. Remember, patience is key.

Our range includes pet food supplements.

They are not intended to cure diseases and do not replace a visit to the vet. Pet food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and species-appropriate diet. They should be stored out of the reach of children, in a cool, dry place and protected from light. The recommended daily intake of supplementary pet food should not be exceeded.

Pre-existing conditions

If your pet already suffers from organic diseases, autoimmune disorders, intolerances, allergies, epilepsy etc. and may also be taking medication due to an illness, it is important to consult your vet before giving your pet supplementary foods. Our advice does not relate to the use of medications and their side effects or interactions. Please also consult the vet who prescribed the medication.

Important to know!

It is important to realise that natural pet foods often need to be given several weeks, and sometimes even longer, before a noticeable effect is seen. As with most natural products, this requires patience and perseverance. It is unlikely that you will notice an immediate effect within a few days or weeks. However, it is important to consider the use of pet supplements in combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle to achieve long-term results.

Painkillers - Please note!

It is important to consult your vet before administering painkillers. Unauthorised administration of painkillers such as aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen can have toxic effects in dogs and should be avoided. An overdose or improper use can have serious consequences and jeopardise your dog's health. Please contact your vet to determine the correct painkiller and dosage for your dog.

Feed supplements are available as capsules or tablets. The capsules have clear advantages:

Gelantine capsules consist of additional collagen and cellulose capsules are an additional dietary fibre. We use a vegan rice extract as a filler, which is not possible with tablets, which is why many other manufacturers use magnesium stearate, for example. Furthermore, an exact dosage is guaranteed by the precisely defined amount of active ingredient contained;

The capsules are preferably fed hidden in a treat or mixed in with the food. If the dog does not accept the capsule, it can simply be opened and the contents mixed into the food.
