DIGITAL EDITION SEPT 1 - OCT 15, 2025

Green-lipped mussels are far

more stable than fish oil.

Because their omega content is

lower in concentration but more

diverse in structure, and paired with

natural antioxidants, they’re much

less prone to oxidation. That means

a longer shelf life and a dramatically

lower risk of turning toxic.

Most

quality

supplements

are

made using freeze-drying or cold-

processing

methods

that

lock

nutrients

without

triggering

oxidation. That’s key for preserving

the integrity of their bioactive

compounds.

REAL BENEFITS YOU CAN SEE

Many pet owners who make the

switch from fish oil to green-lipped

mussel report noticeable differences

in their pets:

• Improved mobility and energy in

older dogs

• Less itching and fewer hot spots

in pets with skin issues

• Shinier coats, better digestion,

and even calmer behavior

While it may not be a magic bullet, the

combination of anti-inflammatory

support, joint nourishment, and

antioxidant

protection

packs

punch, without the risk of feeding

your pet rancid oil.

A Better Choice, Backed by Nature

The reality of it all: fish oil isn’t

inherently bad. But it’s fragile. And

unless it’s handled with extreme

care, tested for oxidation, and

stored properly, it becomes a

liability.

Green-lipped mussels, on the other

hand, are less processed, more

stable, and offer a full spectrum

of nutrients that work in harmony

with your pet’s body.

If you’re looking for joint support,

inflammation relief, and long-

term health benefits for your dog or

cat, this marine superfood deserves

a spot in your pet’s supplement

regimen.

What to Look for in a

Green-Lipped Mussel Supplement

• Sourced from New Zealand

• Freeze-dried or cold-processed

• No unnecessary fillers or

flavorings

• Lab-tested for purity and heavy

metals

THE BOTTOM LINE

If you’ve been giving your pet

fish oil, don’t panic. But do check

the quality. Look for third-party

testing, a clean scent, and proper

storage recommendations.

And if you’re ready for a safer,

smarter

supplement

that

goes

beyond just omega-3s, green-

lipped mussels might be the best

thing you haven’t tried yet. Your

pet’s joints, skin, and immune

system will thank you.
