Premium Quality, All-Natural Ingredients

Our treats feature 100% natural shark cartilage, sourced sustainably, wrapped in premium Australian ling fish skins. Both ingredients are single-ingredient, additive-free, gently cooked to retain maximum nutritional value.

• Shark Cartilage: Rich in glucosamine, chondroitin, and calcium, supporting joint health, mobility, and cartilage regeneration.
• Ling Fish Skin: High in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and natural minerals, promoting a healthy coat, skin, and overall wellbeing.

These sticks provide a dual-purpose treat: a delicious chew that satisfies natural chewing instincts while delivering essential nutrients.

Why Ling Skin wrapped Shark Cartilage is the ULTIMATE JOINT SUPPORT TREAT

It seems the driers have accidently stumbled across the biggest secret of the dog joint support role, in the world.  Individually based on science papers, we have been heralding in blogs the amazing value of shark cartilage for dog joint support.

We have also written articles about the massive value of Omega 3 in anti-inflammatory properties.

Thirdly only a few years ago did we discovered the secret power of animal skins providing joint support to dogs via their major component collagen type 2.

What if we could bring ALL of these things together in a low Kj, Tasty, teeth cleaning dog treat?  Well that’s finally happened with the creation of ling fish skins wrapped around shark cartilage.

In 2011 the international journal of arthritis “Rheumatol” wrote a science paper titled “Effects of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate on Cartilage Metabolism in OA: Outlook on Other Nutrient Partners Especially Omega-3 Fatty Acids“  REF 1

They describe Osteoarthritis (OA) as “a degenerative joint disease that is characterized by increasing loss of cartilage, remodelling of the periarticular bone, and inflammation of the synovial membrane.”

The traditional human and dog patient method of treating OA has been to use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). But relying on big Pharma (who often use natural ingredients at the chemist anyway, but at a much higher price) – isn’t the only method.

They suggested back then, that another ideal treatment was by using “chondroprotectives”. These group of NATURAL chemicals are ones “such as glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, collagen hydrolysate, or nutrients, such as antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids “.

Not only is this treatment method an “alternative”, but they say “Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that the targeted administration of selected micronutrients leads to a more effective reduction of OA symptoms, with less adverse events.”

WHY LING FISH SKIN WRAPPED OVER SHARK CARTLIAGE?

• Shark cartilage contains: glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate
• Ling fish skin contains : collagen hydrolysate
• Ling fish skin contains : Omega 3   (plus you can give a few capsules of salmon oil at dinner time).

The chondroprotectives that are part of this treat, help “(1) stimulate the anabolic process of the cartilage metabolism; (2) their anti-inflammatory action can delay many inflammation-induced catabolic processes in the cartilage. These two mechanisms are able to slow the progression of cartilage destruction and may help to regenerate the joint structure, leading to reduced pain and increased mobility of the affected joint.”

If you are a SINGLE treat, that has TWO separate single ingredient dog treats in it, that cover most of the requirements of chondroprotectives, that can reduce or recover damage to your dog’s cartilage,  THEN THIS IS THE ONE.

Ling Fish Skin wrapped Shark Cartilage Nutritional Benefits

Shark cartilage and ling fish skin are nutrient powerhouses:

• Glucosamine & Chondroitin: Supports joint function, reduces inflammation, and helps dogs maintain mobility. Glucosamine also help with pain relief caused by inflammation.
• Protein: High-quality protein supports muscle maintenance and energy levels.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Helps improve skin, coat, and cognitive health.
• Calcium & Minerals: Supports bone strength and overall health.

These treats are ideal for puppies, adults, and senior dogs, particularly those with joint issues or active lifestyles.

Perfect for Dog Training and Rewards

Dogs are naturally motivated by the taste and texture of fish and cartilage. These sticks make high-value rewards for:

• Obedience training/     Recall training
• Positive reinforcement in behavioural programs
• Mental stimulation and chewing satisfaction

They’re long-lasting chews, so your dog enjoys minutes of entertainment, helping reduce boredom and destructive behaviour.
