Black Hawk Healthy Benefits Joints and Muscles is ideal for adult dogs who are highly active and frequently exercising, and larger breeds who are carrying greater body weights.
The tasty dry kibble is also recommended for older dogs, where joint ‘wear and tear’ can become a problem.
This nutrient-dense recipe contains natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin for cartilage support, essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus for healthy joints and bones, and L-carnitine for fuelling strong, healthy muscles.
Black Hawk Healthy Benefits Joints and Muscles is specially formulated with ingredients like NZ green-lipped mussels and fish oil to provide optimal support for your dog’s joints and cartilage.
Glucosamine is a type of amino sugar that is found in the shells of shellfish, as well as in animal bones and bone marrow. It is believed to work by providing building blocks for the growth and maintenance of joint tissue, including cartilage and synovial fluid leading to healthier joints.
Chondroitin, derived from marine sources, is a naturally-occurring compound and an essential component of cartilage which provides structural support to cartilage and helps to maintain cartilage elasticity.
Green-lipped mussels contain many beneficial nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, chondroitin, and antioxidants that can help support cartilage and joint health, improve mobility, and support overall health.
When grouped together for their synergistic effect, these ingredients’ paired health benefit outweighs what is seen when used as a single additive.
While not a cure for joint problems, these ingredients are often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as exercise and weight management, to help support joint health and mobility in dogs.
Fish oil contains EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are omega-3 fatty acids commonly found in marine sources.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of essential fatty acid that cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet. Omega 3 fatty acids have a number of potential health benefits for dogs, including cartilage and joint support, improved skin and coat health, and support for your dog’s eyes and brain function.
Black Hawk Healthy Benefits Joints and Muscles is also packed with all the essential amino acids, fats, and L-carnitine a dog needs for strong, healthy muscles.
L-carnitine is an amino acid that helps turn fats into fuel for the cells, providing your dog with the energy they need to exercise and play.
Our fresh Australian chicken is carefully preserved and minimally processed to retain nutrients and maintain freshness. It’s also highly palatable.
Along with chicken meal and hydrolysate, it is rich in the amino acids which help build and maintain your dog’s muscle mass.
Black Hawk Healthy Benefits Muscles and Joints is suitable as an ongoing maintenance diet for all breeds of adult dogs.
It is available in two bag sizes:
- 2kg
- 12kg
You can also try a free sample – limited to one 120g pack per order.
