Eggshell Membrane is an ingredient derived from the protective barrier that remains in the shells of broken eggs.
What makes the eggshell membrane so unique?
It contains a number of naturally derived substances including:
Eggshell membrane, with all these valuable components working together, helps:
Because eggshell membrane naturally contains many of the same key substances found in healthy joint cartilage, including glycosaminoglycans (chondroitin and hyaluronic acid), collagen and peptides, it offers:
There are a number of positive human studies on eggshell membranes, and now a study based on dogs shows similar results.
A recent six-week study with 51 dogs at eight different veterinary clinics was set up to evaluate changes in joint function after weeks one and six. Researchers looked at pain, quality of life, mobility, lameness and a serum biomarker for cartilage degradation.
The results proved supplementing with eggshell membrane created positive changes in joint function and joint comfort within one week of use.
Profound cartilage support and improved quality of life were reported by pet owners and veterinarians following six weeks of supplementation with eggshell membrane.
Certified organic, Bark & Whiskers’ beef collagen comes from a trusted source.
Collagen is naturally found in your pet’s joints and connective tissue. It makes up as much as 90% of muscle, tendons, ligaments and other joint-supporting tissues.
Through its ability to create a fibrous network of collagen, your pet’s cartilage can entrap circulating joint building blocks and provide strength to the surrounding tissue.
As your pets age, their capacity to produce collagen fades, making them more susceptible to injuries and painful bone and joint conditions, as well as poor skin and coat health. Age-related joint and tissue pain is largely due to the loss and breakdown of their bodies’ collagen.
The collagen from organic beef bone broth in Bark & Whiskers™ Joint Support offers types I, II and III of collagen, providing support for both cartilage tissue and bone health.
Recent testing reveals popular non-organic collagen products contain potentially hazardous contaminants, including antibiotics, steroids, prescription drug metabolites, parabens and even insecticides.
This suggests that much of the non-organic collagen is coming from factory-farmed animals or animals raised in CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations). If collagen is an ingredient in any supplement you give your pet, it must be Certified USDA Organic, for your pet’s well-being.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is present in every tissue of your pet’s body. One of the most important functions it performs is to retain water, second only to providing nutrients and removing waste from cells that lack a direct blood supply, such as cartilage cells.
As we discovered earlier, cartilage is a specialised form of connective tissue, that lends strength and flexibility to your pet’s body. A key component of cartilage is HA.
Your pet’s joints are surrounded by a membrane called the synovial membrane, which forms a capsule around the ends of the bones. This membrane secretes a liquid called synovial fluid into the joint cavities, which serve as a lubricant and shock absorber.
Synovial fluid functions to protect your pet’s joints and bones during normal movement. Cartilage is immersed in and fed by this fluid, giving you an idea of why it is so important to joint health. Without HA, nutrients can’t move into these cells, and waste can’t be moved out.
Unfortunately, the process of normal ageing in your pet reduces the amount of HA produced.
That’s where HA may help.
The HA in Bark & Whiskers™ Joint Support is a special, patented low-density form, which is more easily absorbed into joint tissues than traditional HA.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring compound found in many foods in very small amounts. Published research shows MSM to be safe and effective in promoting joint comfort and supporting a normal range of motion in animals.
MSM provides two essential substances:
The sulfur in MSM helps promote flexibility and elasticity of body tissue and helps maintain cell membrane permeability. MSM also acts as a powerful antioxidant, scavenging free radicals and aiding in muscle function and joint fluid production.
Dr Karen Becker states that adding MSM to her Joint Support formula was a must, but she didn’t stop there. She further added three more ingredients to support our pet’s joint health:
Although each pet is unique and will respond differently, studies have shown pets experience changes in as little as one week.
We do not recommend giving this product to your pets if they have an allergy to eggs.
A great alternative to the Bark & Whiskers Joint Support supplement is our Furchild Premium Freeze-dried Green Lipped Mussels.

This great product - Joint Support for Cats and Dogs is provided via our exclusive partner, Bark & Whiskers, where Dr Karen Becker, one of the most followed wellness and integrative veterinarians in the world, shares the most up-to-date information on species-appropriate nutrition and care.
Just like Furchild, she believes that the food and lifestyle choices you make for your pets form the foundation of their health and longevity.
Moreover, Dr Becker is also the first veterinarian to give a TEDx Talk on species-appropriate nutrition.
She enjoys empowering pet parents and helping them become knowledgeable advocates for their pets’ well-being. Instead of simply addressing the symptoms, Dr Becker promotes the use of functional medicine, which involves making dietary and lifestyle choices to help pets thrive and prevent illness.
And in 2021, she also co-authored with pet influencer, Rodney Habib, to publish their book - The Forever Dog, which became the first-ever No.1 New York Times best-selling book about intentionally creating canine well-being.
Many of the pet foods that exist on the market do not support joint health due to the fact that they are high in excessive carbohydrates, contain artificial additives, and use low-quality protein sources.
Furthermore, many commercial diets and some home-prepared diets do not contain essential nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants which are all very important for proper joint function.
Furchild is different. Here are some of our best-sellers to support optimal joint health and mobility in pets of all ages, sizes and breeds.
All dry pet food diets (kibble and biscuits) are highly inflammatory and problematic for pets with joint and mobility issues.
In comparison, Furchild Meals are balanced with anti-inflammatory properties, including omega-3 fatty acids. Also, they contain natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin that strengthen joints, support muscle development, and promote overall well-being.
One of our most sought-after superfoods, they are easy to use and provide fast-acting anti-inflammatory support for joint and mobility issues. They help:
Bone broth supports joint health in pets by providing essential nutrients like collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate, which are key components of cartilage and connective tissues. These nutrients help maintain joint structure and function, potentially reducing inflammation and promoting overall joint well-being.
