Hip & Joint Health | NZ Green Lipped Mussels

Does New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels keep working after you stop?

Yes! To start using this amazing superfood we suggest you use it for four to six weeks. And then you can take a break for four weeks and start again. It is known to still help your dog ease their joints up to four weeks after you stop adding it to their bowl.

Where do you source your ingredients?

We start looking and sourcing local to Ontario and then move east and west across Canada. Then we look outside of Canada, primarily New Zealand and the United States. Our ingredients are 100% from people food markets sourcing the highest quality available for people. Meaning the same high quality food we eat.

How do I use the supplements?

You should follow the recommended dosages and talk to your dog's health care provider. You can also mix the supplement with some of these foods: plain yogurt, kefir, bone broth, goat milk, warm coconut oil or even water. If you're not sure you can ask your dog's health care provider or send us an email hello@NorthHoundLife.com.

Can I freeze North Hound Life superfoods in molds?

There is one which we don't recommend at all and that is GI Balance (Organic Slippery Elm Bark) powder. You won't be able to make a paste with it after it is frozen. It is a good idea for you to save time in portioning out superfoods and to have them available at any moment. However, like all food, superfoods will loose some levels of potency once frozen, but not enough to that you will notice a difference. Instead of freezing, we suggest you mix your chosen superfood with Organic Coconut Oil and let it set in your refrigerator, They will retain their shape in the refrigerator without having to freeze them.

Is there an alternative to Green Lipped Mussels if my dog is allergic to shellfish?

Yes! You can use our Pure Collagen or Eggshell Membrane to help with your dogs joint health if your dog is unable to eat shellfish.

Why don't all your products have scoops? 

We are making a conscious effort with our packaging to reduce waste and scoops are a small way that we can do this. Some of our products are mandated by Health Canada to include a scoop and you will find one inside your jar, these are bamboo spoons which are ultimately compostable. We know that many or all of you, pet parents, will have a measuring spoon inside your home that can be used and reused in our collective effort to be just a little better to our planet.
