Tips & Best Practices

1. Daily Use Is Super Important!

Make sure your dog gets Extend™ Joint Care every single day. One serving per day, every day, has been shown time and time again to be most effective in relieving joint pain and increasing mobility.

We can't tell you how often we hear customers who don't see a difference in their dog, only to find out that they add the powder to their kibble a couple times per week.

Daily use brings in the best results!

2. Got a picky eater?

If your paw pal is a more finicky eater, that’s understandable. Here are a few tips to help make the powder a little bit more palatable:

  • Mix with water to make a delicious gravy. Then pour it over your dog’s kibble.
  • Stir it into apple sauce for a healthy/tasty treat! (This is a customer favorite!)
  • Another customer suggestion, mix it with canned pumpkin! (not the cooked, sweetened stuff though!)
  • Mix portions of one packet in their food two to three times over the course of one day until they grow more accustomed to the taste.

3. More Ways To Reduce Discomfort

  • Regular checkups help your vet monitor your dog’s body and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
  • A slim dog decreases unnecessary load on the joints. Your best bet: Feeding her the right amount of high quality food.
  • Regular, controlled exercise is a must as long as you monitor your dog closely. Soft surfaces help.
  • A padded or insulated dog bed can help separate painful joints from cold and damp conditions.
  • Regular massage sessions can increase your dog's flexibility, circulation, and sense of well-being.
  • Take steps to adjust the environment where your dog spends her day. Soft bedding, ramps near cars or beds, soft carpet and rugs, etc.
