1. Doesn’t my dog get enough nutrients from dog food?
Most popular pet food products are made with extremely poor quality ingredients. Pet food is a dumping ground for meat by-products unfit for human consumption. Even many so called “natural” or “premium” pet food products are made with ingredients of questionable quality and none contain the proper balance of Omega-3’s and Omega 6’s that your pet needs for optimum health.
2. My dog eats organic food. Isn’t that good enough?
Don’t be fooled by “natural” or “wholesome” claims on pet food products. Organic diets are a step in the right direction. However, your dog will still be missing the fatty acids that are found in Mussel Dog. Only Mussel Dog contains 30 fatty acids, more than 200X those found in natural or organic dog foods.
3. Should my puppy take Mussel Dog?
Absolutely! The best way to prevent problems and conditions from starting is to be proactive and get your dog on a healthy program of diet, exercise and nutrition. Think of Mussel Dog as preventive healthcare for your dog that starts at an earlier age and helps your dog have a healthier life.
4. My dog already takes Glucosamine. Should he still take Mussel Dog?
While glucosamine is a good supplement for your dog’s joints, Mussel Dog offers a multitude of benefits not limited to joints. Fact is, dogs can’t make the fatty acids that are found in Mussel Dog and are good for overall health.
5. How long before I can expect to see improvements?
Many dogs will show results in just a few days after taking Mussel Dog, but to get the maximum potential benefit, allow 4-6 weeks of continual usage. Your dog will be glad you did. You may continue to see further improvements over a much longer period of time as your pet’s body is replenished with the 30 fatty acids found in Mussel Dog.
6. How much Mussel Dog should I give my pet?
Green-Lipped Mussels are grown on vines and harvested as mature mussels after approximately 15-18 months of growth. Therefore, it takes over a year to make a single bottle of Mussel Dog. As with any supplement, you should check with your health care provider regarding dosage. However, for overall health, 1-2 capsules per day is generally adequate for small-to-medium size dogs. And 2-4 capsules per day for larger dogs.
7. How is Mussel Dog different from other products on the market?
Mussel Dog is rich in nutrients 100% pure and natural, and the only dog supplement known in the world containing 30 fatty acids to help maintain overall health and wellness.
Through years of research, a process was developed to isolate and identify a natural marine lipid extract comprising a rare combination of lipid groups and Omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, through a patented process, the green lipped mussels used in Mussel Dog are tested and screened prior to harvesting to identify those mussels which are rich in free fatty acids. Using this selection process, we’re able to ensure the maximum efficacy for your dog.
8. How do I know if I should give my dog an Omega-3 supplement?
The 30 fatty acids in Mussel Dog are beneficial to dogs of any age, size, or breed. They protect cardiac health and helps in almost every organ system in the body – from joints to your dog’s skin and coat. The benefits of the fatty acid nutrients in Mussel Dog are well established by veterinarians and scientific literature. So it’s not a question of if, but a question of why not?
9. What general health benefits are associated with Omega-3 fatty acids?
Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids are a fundamental cornerstone of your dog’s health and when you give your pet these important building blocks, a multitude of positive health benefits are felt and seen. And only Mussel Dog has a complex of 30 fatty acids – more than any other known pet supplement sold today. Every cell in your pet’s body benefits from fatty acids to help form normally functioning cell membranes – the envelope surrounding every cell.
10. Are there any known side effects using Mussel Dog?
There are no drug-like side effects to Mussel Dog. Rarely a dog may have some GI distress, but taking it with food usually eliminates that.
11. What is the source of Mussel Dog?
Mussel Dog contains a rare complex of 30 fatty acids including DHA and EPA, derived from the non-polar lipids of New Zealand’s green lipped mussel (perna canaliculus).
The patented oil extract (PCSO-524®) is unique to Mussel Dog.
The green lipped mussels which contain the raw material for Mussel Dog are grown at the north tip of New Zealand’s south island in the beautiful Marlborough Sounds Region. The
Marlborough Sounds represents a perfect growing environment for mussels, with pristine waters and nourishing Pacific Ocean currents, free of toxins and other contaminants.
12. What is the process for making the patented oil extract in Mussel Dog?
The sorting process utilizes a patented process that enables testing and screening of our green-lipped mussels prior to harvesting to identify those mollusks which are rich in free fatty acids, providing Mussel Dog with the finest quality for processing.
After the mussels are harvested, they are rushed to the factory and processed immediately to ensure that the beneficial properties are fully protected. The mussels are stabilized and then freeze-dried according to a patented process which is essential for the subsequent extraction of the lipids in the mussel. The processing plant conforms to the highest quality control standards, which are strictly regulated by the MAF on behalf of the United States FDA and EU authorities including the New Zealand government. After the stabilized mussels have been freeze dried into powder, they are shipped to a factory for processing into Mussel Dog. The mussel powder is then processed into the oil extract using our patented supercritical fluid extraction process (PCSO-524®)
13. Can Omega-3 fatty acids be mixed with my dog’s medications?
Yes, as the fatty acids in Mussel Dog are an essential building block of health. Consult with your veterinarian.
14. What can I do if my dog hates to swallow pills?
Easy. Simply pierce the gel cap(s) with a sterilized pin and squeeze the oil into his food or mix with a little peanut butter or cottage cheese. This will not compromise the potency or effectiveness of Mussel Dog.
15. Do I need to check with my veterinarian?
Mussel Dog is a pure, toxin-free, all-natural source of 30 fatty acids extracted from the green lipped mussel. In all matters concerning health, it is always important to check with your vet before starting a new program.
16. At what temperature should Mussel Dog be stored?
Mussel Dog is recommended to be kept at room temperature or below and out of direct sunlight, with as little humidity as possible.
17. What happens after the expiration date?
After the expiration date Mussel Dog will slowly oxidize and the fatty acids will break down. It is tested and certified to be at optimum qualify for two years if kept at the recommended temperature and humidity levels.
