Green Lipped Mussels for Joint Health & Arthritis
The Omega-3s and other fatty acids commonly found in Mussels are the main reason that these shellfish offer many health benefits.
The high concentration of Omega fatty acids give Mussels pain-reducing properties and the glucosamine and chondroitin found in this shellfish help reduce inflammation.
Feeding Mussels can also be used as a preventative for joint problems later in life.
The nutritional properties of our Mussels pair nicely with glucosamine sources and fish oils found in our premium raw dog food and raw cat food, Meals for Dogs and Meals for Cats.
Green Lipped Mussels for Healthy Coat & Skin
In addition to your pet’s joints improving these fatty acids help promote a shiny coat and healthy skin. A healthy skin and coat will keep your pet feeling soft while also reducing any irritations or itching.
Mussels are also considered to be a superfood because they contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and enzymes on top of the Omega-3s.
Our Premium Handcrafted Freeze-Dried Green Lipped Mussels
Furchild offers 100% single-source whole Green Lipped Mussels sustainably farmed from the pure and pristine waters of New Zealand.
Our Mussels are freeze-dried (raw) to ensure they retain full effectiveness.
Our freeze-drying process creates a light, crisp texture that appeals to both dogs and cats, and more importantly, it preserves the fresh flavour, aroma, and nutritional value of fresh foods.
They are shelf-stable and are perfect for travelling as they require no fridge and no freezer.
If your pet craves a different texture, just add warm water. Mussels will re-hydrate to a natural texture.

- Green Lipped Mussels have a green hue
around the edge of their shell (aka the “lip”). - They are the largest mussel and can only be found near New Zealand.
