We're rebranding. Over the next few weeks we’ll be making the move from total pets to puptons. You may receive items in both packaging for a short period. Please don’t worry, they are the same great products.
Thanks, don't show me this again.
What is MSM?
MSM – or methyl-sulfonyl methane as it’s technically known – is found naturally within humans, animals and some foods. It is a building block of the tissues surrounding joints, such as tendons and cartilage. Natural levels of MSM decline in dogs as they age and this has a direct impact on their joint health. It is for this reason that joint problems primarily occur in older dogs – or highly active dogs whose joints are put under stress on a daily basis.
Benefits of MSM for dogs
Through its role as a building block of cartilage and other connective tissues, MSM helps to:
- Reduce joint inflammation
- Promote joint mobility and range of motion
- Strengthen the structure of joints
- Assist with the reduction of joint pain
- Protect joints against further damage
Does my dog need MSM?
The research around MSM as a joint supplement highlights its ability to assist with mobility and the joint health of dogs in general. So, if your dog has poor joint health, MSM can provide a natural means of addressing this.
MSM can also be used proactively to protect against future joint issues. The proactive use of MSM is of particular importance if your dog is one of the breeds that is statistically more likely to develop mobility and joint issues in their advancing years, such as: labradors, spaniels, varieties of mountain dog, rottweilers, retrievers and German shepherds.
Why use MSM powder for dogs?
If you are looking for a higher dose of MSM than is usually found in joint health products, then supplementing with this 100% pure MSM powder for dogs is a great choice. It allows you to tailor the dosage exactly to the needs of your dog and is incredibly cost-effective.
Why not combine MSM with other joint health supplements for your dog? If this is of interest, then we suggest our market-leading joint support supplement: Total Joint Care, which contains MSM plus an additional 7 research-proven ingredients.
Alternatively, you could make your own joint formula by combining MSM with green lipped mussel powder for dogs, collagen powder for dogs and glucosamine powder for dogs.
Safety of MSM for dogs
MSM has been used as a supplement for many decades. It is deemed safe and effective for long term use in dogs, when used in accordance with our feeding guide. If your dog is pregnant, lactating or currently under medical supervision, we suggest consulting a vet before use. Dogs under the age of 12 weeks should not need MSM.
