    Your dog is an amazing athlete! Pound for pound, they can run much faster and jump much higher than even the most elite human athlete. But this comes at a cost. As they age, our pets develop the same sprains and aches that we do. That’s why we’re here—to give you the information and provide the proven supplements you need to help ease your pet’s pain. 

    The difference between other supplement sellers and us here at HPLL is very simple: we only recommend products that have been proven both in veterinary clinics and published studies. Your pet deserves the best, so you’ve come to the right place! 


    The problems with joint health for dogs

    Joint pain is more than an interference with your dog’s daily walk. It can lead to long-term problems or signal even more serious issues. Keep these things in mind as you investigate your dog’s joint health:

    • Arthritis affects 80% of dogs by age 8 and up to 35% of dogs of all ages, which makes it one of the leading causes of joint pain in dogs.
    • The causes of joint pain and inflammation can be genetic diseases like hip or elbow dysplasia, as well as the wear and tear of a dog’s running and jumping—leading to problems like ACL rupture. 
    • All breeds are susceptible to joint pain, and while different breeds may suffer from different side effects, no dog is immune.  Active breeds like retrievers and spaniels are obviously at risk, but any pet with a long back or crooked legs—looking at you Corgis and Dachshunds—are especially prone to pain.
    • There are two types of joint pain: developmental and degenerative. Developmental joint pain is genetic, while degenerative is from repeated wear and tear, like running, stairs, and jumping.
    • Joint pain is treatable and preventable with the right products. Did we mention that we only carry the best in joint supplements for your pet, proven both in vet clinics and in published studies?  

    Benefits of joint pain medicine for dogs

    We offer the following joint pain supplements: TRANSCEND, Rapamycin, and Longevity Plus. Each has its specific benefits for dogs, so let’s explore them!

    • TRANSCEND is our custom arthritis pain relief supplement, superior to the regular glucosamine/chondroitin products. It improves range of motion and quality of life, offers pain relief equal to NSAIDs, and reduces cartilage degeneration. For joint pain in dogs, there really isn’t any better supplement!  Want proof? Here you go.
    • Curcumin is a biological compound found in turmeric. It fights pain and inflammation with little to no side effects. Our Longevity Plus supplement is absorbed 100x better, making it the equivalent of 100 capsules of regular curcumin—wow!

    Rapamycin is a prescription medicine that has numerous health benefits for dogs, including reducing pain and inflammation in joints. It’s becoming well-known as a powerhouse for prolonging your dog’s life!

    FAQs about dog joint health

    Providing supplements and medicine can improve joint health tremendously, but the goal is to minimize joint pain before they’re needed. Just like us humans, minimizing your pet’s weight and giving them the right type of exercise counts. Jumping and climbing stairs should be avoided in favor of flat terrain. The more jumping, stairs, and sudden stopping your dog does, the more pain they’ll feel down the road.

    Yes, but not all supplements are created equal. As an example, the glucosamine/chondroitin supplements that vets have traditionally recommended for the last three decades have now been proven ineffective for most pets. Be an educated consumer, and your pet will thank you! If you need a lesson, feel free to contact me at ktomandvm@gmail.com.

    TRANSCEND and other supplements containing Undenatured Type 2 Collagen (UC-II) are proven to be the best joint supplements for both humans and our pets. TRANSCEND contains 40 mg of patented UC-II and is proven to reduce arthritic pain in pets by 68-91%. We know it works; if your arthritic pet isn’t happier and more active in a month, you’ll receive 100% of your investment back, guaranteed.

    Yes, most if not all supplements are better taken every day. This is because supplements take time to build in your system for the full promised effects to be seen. Administering supplements sporadically will only lead to frustration and disappointment. If you have questions about dosing or the best joint supplement for your pet, let’s talk.

    Luckily, side effects are very uncommon for joint supplements since they’re extremely safe for dogs! Like anything else we eat, they can occasionally cause GI symptoms like upset stomach or diarrhea. If you’re really unlucky, your pet could even be allergic to the joint supplement you use—in this case, just stop giving them the supplement.  

    In any case, the most important answer is simply to communicate. If you have questions about anything we sell, I’m around.
