North Hound Life - Hip & Joint Health - NZ Green Lipped Mussels

Hip & Joint Health is a natural, whole-food supplement designed to support your dog’s mobility, comfort, and long-term joint wellness. Formulated with freshly harvested New Zealand green-lipped mussel, it delivers a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, trace minerals, antioxidants, and naturally occurring compounds such as glucosamine and chondroitin.

Green-lipped mussel is widely chosen by pet parents to help support dogs experiencing age-related stiffness, reduced flexibility, or common joint challenges such as arthritis. When used consistently, this marine-based whole food helps maintain joint comfort and supports ease of movement at every life stage.

Our green-lipped mussels are processed to human-grade standards and the bioactive compounds are produced using a cold CO₂ extraction method. This gentle, solvent-free process helps stabilize delicate fatty acids and preserve the biological activity of the nutrients, ensuring optimal purity, potency, and functional integrity.

The history of Green Lipped Mussels has been in the food department. This little shellfish with the funny name has been enjoyed for centuries as a traditional food of the New Zealand Maori people. Cooked in earth ovens, dried and preserved, or simply eaten raw, Green Lipped Mussels are a centuries-old, nutritious delicacy. It wasn't until the late 1960s when NASA scientists were looking for natural cancer-fighting supplements that they appeared again.

Though their research didn't find any positive anti-cancer results, people in their trials with arthritis were reporting decreased pain and joint stiffness with increased mobility. The amazing thing is, the scientists were able to determine that it has impressive anti-inflammatory properties. Just think how much better your dog will feel.
