Mussels – a Beneficial Addition to Your Dog's Diet

Mussels are a valuable addition to a dog's diet as they are rich in essential nutrients that can help improve overall health.

Dosage: 2 pieces per 10 kg of the dog's weight daily.

Mussels contain:

• Glucosamine and Chondroitin: These compounds in mussels support joint health by promoting cartilage regeneration and joint lubrication. They are often used in supplements for dogs with joint issues.
• Vitamins and Minerals: Mussels are a source of various vitamins (e.g., B12) and minerals, including zinc, manganese, iron, and selenium. These nutrients strengthen the immune system, support metabolism, and contribute to overall health.
• Protein: Mussels are a good source of lean protein, which helps build muscle and maintain overall body functionality.
• Low Fat Content: Mussels are low in fat, making them suitable for dogs prone to weight gain.
