What is MSM?
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound in the body. It is necessary for many important bodily processes - in pets as well as in humans. Unfortunately, most foods contain little, if any, MSM, and our bodies must replenish MSM from other sources continually. MSM has a number of beneficial effects, including bone, joint, ligament and connective tissue health as well as helping to alleviate symptoms of arthritis.

What is Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is the most fundamental building block in the synthesis of sugar-protein molecules including proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycolipids, and hyaluronate. It plays a major role in the synthesis of collagen, cartilage, bone, skin, and various lubricating fluids in the body. Glucosamine helps to produce synovial fluid critical for the maintenance of joint health and for the joint's ability to operate with a full range of motion. In cell cultures, glucosamine has been reported to stimulate cartilage synthesis and inhibit its degradation. Studies show it can also repair damaged cartilage.

What can I expect from Sea "Mobility"?
This is a delicious, functional snack food and an excellent way to improve and maintain mobility in all dogs. It offers exceptional nutritional support for active dogs - working/service dogs, field/hunting dogs, or performance/agility dogs - as well as for "Senior" dogs.

Which dogs will benefit from Sea "Mobility"?
All dogs can benefit from Sea "Mobility" whether they are working/service dogs, performance/agility dogs, field/hunting dogs or just household, family pets who run, jump and play with you. In short, it's for every dog that "has a life" beyond sitting at their owner's feet!

Why should I give my dog Sea "Mobility"?
Because you, (your pet's guardian), want to maximize your dog's mobility. It can be used by itself, with Ark Naturals Joint "Rescue" or with another joint product you currently use. For any dog that exhibits signs of morning stiffness, hip or joint distress, or a lack of flexibility, Sea "Mobility" is a necessity.

What is a functional food?
A functional food is a product that encompasses potentially healthful food and includes ingredients that provide a health benefit beyond the traditional nutrients contained in the ingredients of the food itself. The "functional foods" developed by Ark Naturals are not pet foods but are healthy snack foods that address specific pet issues.
