Sample of 8 chewables of the new chondroprotector Ortocanis. 

New generation nutritional supplement with chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties specifically developed for dogs that need joint protection and comfort: arthritis, dysplasia, overweight or post-surgical recovery.

After two years of development and with the help of the clinical experience of veterinarians specialized in traumatology and rehabilitation, we have formulated a complete supplement that combines in a single product the ingredients with the most support in canine joint health:

• High purity Omega-3 EPA and DHA
• Glucosamine
• Chondroitin Sulfate
• MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
• Hyaluronic acid
• Green-lipped mussel
• Collagen I+V+X
• Boswellia serrata
• Turmeric (curcumin)
• Zinc, manganese and vitamins E and C.

Their joint action helps to:

• Protect and nourish the joint cartilage
• Promote the formation of collagen and the elasticity of tendons and ligaments.
• Reduce inflammation associated with osteoarthritis
• Reduce joint stiffness and pain, improving daily mobility.
• Provide a powerful antioxidant action that stops long-term joint damage.

All this in a very palatable chewable, easy to administer even in demanding dogs. Suitable for all breeds and sizes.

Benefits of its active ingredients

Omega 3 EPA and DHA (from fish oil)

• Powerful anti-inflammatory effect on the joints.
• They help to reduce morning stiffness and improve mobility in dogs with arthritis.
• They contribute to joint health and the cardiovascular system.

Glucosamine

• Essential nutrient for cartilage and synovial fluid.
• It promotes the repair of damaged cartilage and helps maintain its elasticity.
• Widely used in veterinary chondroprotectors with extensive clinical experience.

• Sodium chondroitin sulfate

  Helps maintain the structure and elasticity of cartilage. Reduce wear: It helps to reduce the degradation of cartilage by inhibiting the enzymes that break it down.
• Promotes hydration: It attracts liquid to the cartilage, improving its ability to absorb impacts and reducing friction between the bones.Favors the repair: It can stimulate the production of new cartilage components, thus supporting the repair and regeneration of joint tissue.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

• Bioavailable source of organic sulfur, key for the synthesis of collagen and connective tissue.
• Complementary analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect to glucosamine.
• Helps to reduce pain and sensitivity in overworked joints.

Hyaluronic acid

• Natural component of synovial fluid; acts as a "lubricant" for the joint.
• Improves sliding between joint surfaces and absorbs impacts.
• Especially interesting in dogs with advanced arthritis or marked stiffness.

Green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus)

• Rich in glycosaminoglycans, Omega-3 and antioxidants.
• Studies in dogs show improved mobility and decreased limping.
• Highly valued natural reinforcement for athletic and geriatric dogs.

Collagen I+V+X

• Basic structural protein of cartilage, tendons and ligaments.
• Helps maintain the resistance and flexibility of the locomotor system.
• Important in recovery processes after surgery or other injuries.

Boswellia serrata

• Botanical extract with potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory effect.
• Contributes to reducing chronic inflammation without the effects of NSAIDs.
• Very useful in arthritis, spondylosis and chronic lower back pain.

Turmeric (curcumin)

• Natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
• It enhances the effect of Boswellia and helps to curb the oxidative damage of the cartilage.

Zinc and manganese

• Key minerals in the formation of collagen and enzymatic of joint tissue.
• They support proper bone mineralization and tissue repair.

Vitamins E and C

• Powerful antioxidant defense against free radicals produced by inflammation.
• They help protect the cartilage and prolong the lifespan of the joint.

How does it differ from other joint supplements?

Unique formulaReally complete and synergistic: combines classic chondroprotectors (glucosamine, MSM, green-lipped mussel, collagen, hyaluronic acid) with natural anti-inflammatories (Omega-3, Boswellia, turmeric) and an antioxidant boost (vitamins E and C, minerals).

Developed byspecialist veterinariansTogether with Biotechnologists: formulation based on two years of reviewing scientific papers and daily experience with dogs with arthritis, dysplasia, post-operative cases and sport dogs.

Chewableshighly palatable: texture and flavor designed for the dog to take them as a reward, facilitating adherence to long-term treatment over hard tablets or powders that are difficult to administer.

High concentrationBy chewable: it allows to cover the daily needs with a small amount of product (1 to 3 chewables a day depending on weight).

QualityOrtocanis: brand specialized in canine rehabilitation, reference for veterinarians worldwide.
