Large- and giant-breed dogs spend up to two and a half years in an active growth phase that puts outsized stress on developing joints, and Pawganix is addressing that window directly with the launch of MoveGuard Growth, a daily soft chew built for puppies between 8 and 30 months old.
Each MoveGuard Growth chew delivers 400 mg Glucosamine HCl, 300 mg Chondroitin Sulfate, 250 mg MSM, 150 mg New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel, 50 mg Antarctic Krill Oil, and 2 mg Hyaluronic Acid, plus Manganese and Vitamins C and E. Pawganix prints every active ingredient at its individual dose on the label, rather than combining actives into an undisclosed proprietary blend, a practice it applies to its full product line.
The chicken-liver-flavored chew ships in a 90-count bag and contains shellfish (mussel and krill). Dosing scales with body weight: two chews daily for dogs 50 to 80 pounds, three chews daily for dogs above 80 pounds. The formula is reviewed by a licensed veterinarian and produced in a GMP-certified, NSF-registered US facility.
"Most joint chews are sized for an average adult dog and then marketed at puppies without changing much," said Kingsley, co-founder of Pawganix. "Large and giant breed puppies are growing through a completely different set of joint stresses, and MoveGuard Growth was built specifically around that window, not adapted from something else."
"In large and giant breeds, growth plates can stay open past a year and a half, well beyond when smaller dogs have finished growing," said Dr. Gaby Thompson, DVM, who reviewed the MoveGuard Growth formula for Pawganix. "That extended window is exactly why joint support needs to be dosed and timed for this size category specifically, not borrowed from an adult formula."
MoveGuard Growth is available now at pawganix.com and on Amazon, priced at $39.99 for a one-time purchase or $34.99 with a Subscribe & Save subscription, backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee.
