🌊 What Makes Green-Lipped Mussels Special?

Native to New Zealand, the green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) is recognised for its distinctive nutritional composition.

Unlike many conventional fish-based ingredients, green-lipped mussels contain a diverse range of marine fatty acids, including the familiar omega-3s EPA and DHA, as well as ETA.

They also naturally contain glycosaminoglycans and other components associated with cartilage and connective tissue, which is why green-lipped mussel is commonly included in pet products formulated to support normal joint health and mobility.

🦴 Naturally Suited to Joint & Mobility Nutrition

Green-lipped mussels are widely used as an ingredient in canine and feline joint-support products because of their naturally occurring marine omega-3 fatty acids and cartilage-associated compounds.

These nutrients can form part of a balanced nutritional approach to supporting normal joint function, mobility and general wellbeing.

Green-lipped mussels are a food ingredient rather than a substitute for veterinary treatment. If your pet has arthritis, persistent stiffness or another diagnosed joint condition, speak with your veterinarian about appropriate management.

🌿 Naturally Occurring Nutrients

Green-lipped mussels naturally provide:

High-Quality Protein • Essential Amino Acids • Omega-3 EPA • Omega-3 DHA • ETA • Taurine • Glycosaminoglycans • Vitamin B12 • Selenium • Zinc • Iron • Manganese • Phosphorus

These naturally occurring nutrients contribute to normal muscle maintenance, energy metabolism, immune function, skin and coat condition and overall wellbeing.

Because green-lipped mussels are a natural whole-food ingredient, exact nutrient levels can vary between harvests and batches.

❄️ Why Freeze-Dried?

Freeze-drying removes moisture from frozen food under vacuum rather than relying on conventional high-temperature cooking.

This gentle preservation process helps maintain the mussels' natural flavour, aroma and nutritional qualities, while creating a lightweight, shelf-stable product that's easy to portion and feed.

🐶🐱 Perfect as a Treat or Meal Topper

Feed straight from the pouch or crumble over your pet's regular food as a naturally nutrient-rich marine meal topper.

Their distinctive seafood aroma makes green-lipped mussels especially appealing to many dogs and cats.

🐾 Feeding Guide

Feed as an occasional treat or meal topper as part of a complete and balanced diet.

• Cats & Small Dogs (up to 10kg): 1–2g daily
• Medium Dogs (10–25kg): 2–4g daily
• Large Dogs (25–40kg): 4–6g daily
• Extra Large Dogs (40kg+): 6–8g daily

These amounts are a general feeding guide rather than a therapeutic dose. Adjust according to your pet's size, regular diet and any other supplements being fed.

Always supervise your pet while feeding and ensure fresh drinking water is available.
