FAQ

General Product Information:

What is Petshop®?
 

Petshop® is a natural supplement for dogs and cats made to support their joint health and mobility.

Why should I give Petshop® to my dog/cat?
 

Petshop® delivers a potent mix of over 90 fatty acids including EPA, DHA, DPA, and naturally occurring astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant. This combination of ingredients has been shown in clinical research to improve joint mobility and support joint health. Antinol Plus has also been clinically proven to work better and faster at improving mobility in dogs than glucosamine and chondroitin, one of the most common joint supplements available.

Where is Petshop® made, and what are the origins of the ingredients?
 

Petshop® is manufactured in the USA from globally sourced ingredients. It is made with green-lipped mussels that are sustainably farmed in the pristine waters of the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand (which are reported among the cleanest waters on earth) and Antarctic krill which is sourced from the nutrient-dense waters around Antarctica.

What are the soft gels made of?
 

The soft gel capsules of petshop are made of bovine gelatin.

Is Petshop® covered by my pet insurance?
 

Most pet insurance providers do cover supplements like Petshop®, especially if they are recommended by your veterinarian as part of a treatment plan for a specific condition. Coverage can vary depending on your provider and policy, so we recommend checking directly with your insurance company to confirm your benefits.

Ingredients

What are the active ingredients in Petshop®?
 

Green-lipped mussel oil and Antarctic Krill oil.

Why is sorbitol included in Petshop®?
 

We include sorbitol in Petshop® to help make sure the soft gel capsules are sealed properly. This is important to ensure that the product is of high quality. Sorbitol is commonly used in the industry because it works well with krill.

Sorbitol is a safe and non-toxic excipient that is used in many supplements. In dogs, several studies have shown that doses of up to 20% sorbitol in dog food had no effect on overall health.

To put this into perspective, for a dog that weighs 20 lbs., 7.2% sorbitol in diet would equate to a daily intake of about 22 grams of sorbitol. Petshop® has .0007 grams of sorbitol per soft gel.

If you prefer to avoid sorbitol all together, the contents of the Petshop® soft gels may be emptied onto your pet’s food, since sorbitol is only present in the soft gel shell.

Is this product non-GMO? What is it “Free of”?
 

Petshop® is non-GMO+, dairy-free, and gluten-free. + We do not use ingredients that were produced using biotechnology.

Can I give this to my dog or cat if they’re on other medications?
 

Consult with your veterinarian before giving any pet health supplements to your dog or cat, especially if they are taking medication or undergoing treatment for a medical condition.

Can Petshop® be taken long-term?
 

Yes, Petshop® can be used long-term when used as suggested.

Can animals on a vegan or vegetarian diet take Petshop®?
 

The active ingredient in Petonimo is derived from the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel and Antarctic Krill. The soft gels contain gelatine from beef origin. Therefore, it would not suit dogs that owners choose to keep on a vegetarian or vegan diet.

How should I store Petshop®?
 

We recommend you store Petshop® in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. Please keep the product out of the reach of children and animals.
