Green Lipped Mussel Powder For Dogs
Could this superfood be the solution for your dog's skin, joints and mobility?
Green lipped mussel (GLM) is a shellfish native to the coastal waters of New Zealand, and it's one of the most nutrient-dense natural ingredients you can add to your dog's diet. We love it so much that we included it in every one of our meal toppers. Keep reading to find out why.

What Dog Parents Are Saying:
Hip & Joint hero has worked wonders for our 12 year old boy who has both arthritis and an acl injury. There was instantly a noticeable difference.
We have been using this for 2 months and it has been a life changer for our itchy dachshund.
You're not alone
Omega-3 deficiency is one of the most overlooked reasons for the common pain points pet parents visit their vet about. But natural prevention or remedies are often used as a last resort.
What Sets Green Lipped Mussel Powder Apart From Other Fish Oils?
The key is in the full-spectrum nutrient profile. Most fish oils give your dog omega-3s and not much else.
GLM powder is naturally packed with glucosamine and chondroitin; two ingredients with decades of research to show they help cushion and protect cartilage. Alongside those, it keeps the joints lubricated and moving smoothly.
Then there are the omega-3s. GLM contains the usual EPA and DHA you'd expect from a fish oil, plus a rarer one called ETA that's found in almost no other food on the planet. ETA is the reason green lipped mussel is so widely studied for calming inflammation in dogs - ticking the box for every "itis" condition (arthritis, tendonitis, so on and so forth).
And it's not just for older dogs. The same omega-3s and antioxidants that soothe stiff joints also support a stronger skin barrier, a glossier coat, and a healthier immune system.
So, you can see why we included this all-star in every Updog supplement. Pretty impressive, huh?

A great addition to her food. She loves this stuff, Luna cant wait to eat her brekkie. Her skin has been doing well, definitely less paw licking too.
What a sweet little girl. That's great to know, please keep it up!
I’m really pleased with updog skin and coat. I left my first review after taking this product 3 weeks, now I’m leaving a follow up full review after 3 months. My dog no longer licks his paws, comparing to my first review which was the licking was substantially reduced. But I’m not leaving a second review for this alone, updog has surprised me with some other good results. Wallie had a growth on his chin for almost a year, we took a FNA, the result shows it’s either a benign tumour or abnormal skin growth, regardless it will not go away by itself, surgery is a necessity. We have scheduled for a surgery, but after taking updog 5,6 weeks, I noticed that the growth is visibly smaller. So I postponed the surgery, just to see how much more updog can achieve, after another 2 weeks, the growth is completely gone!!!! So I have cancelled the surgery. My dog also had a little bump in between his toes, it’s been there for more than half year, and after 2 months of updog, it’s gone as well. I’ve attached a picture of the growth on his chin and the bump inbetween his toes. They are completely gone now. I couldn’t be happier. I’m not suggesting you to take updog instead of visiting the vet if your dog has any skin issue, I’m just sharing my positive and surprising experience with updog! I’m still waiting for one more miracle which is less shedding, I haven’t seen any improvement about hair shedding so far, but fingers crossed!
Wow, this will go down as one of our favourite reviews of all time! We're so happy Wallie is feeling more comfortable in his skin and the paw licking has stopped. And hopefully that has saved you a bit of money on surgery costs!
We're still searching for a cure to the seasonal shedding for our own couch's sake... we'll let you know when we find it :)
doesn't seem to make a much of a difference with my dog unfortunately.
Hi Dale, we're sorry to hear. Keep in mind Skin & Coat Hero is more of a long-term approach so it often takes a few months to make a difference, but understand supplements aren't for everyone! We hope you find something that helps.
I’ve seen a noticeable change in my boys scratching after a week. So hopefully no more vet visits for his skin issues also he loves the taste and looks forward to dinner times
Those puppy eyes are to die for! Thank you for the review, if you're already noticing an impact, we're confident with time and consistency you'll be visiting the vet far less.
We’re nearly at the end of our first tub and I’m pleasantly surprised to notice a difference in our Blue staffy. His chewing of his paws has lessened and his belly isn’t as red. Fingers crossed over time and continued use he stops all together.
That's fantastic news! Thanks for the update Sandra, keep it up and we're confident with more time we'll be able to settle his skin.
