PETTEK PRODUCTS:
1) Re-Gen:
- Preventative supplement for all healthy pets not yet showing severe signs of arthritis.
- Contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin.
- Glucosamine and Chondroitin are part of normal cartilage. Cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones in a joint. Glucosamine, also called Chitosamine, is a natural substance that is found in the covering of shellfish. Chondroitin is a natural substance found in your pet's cartilage and, when paired with glucosamine, has an even more beneficial effect on your pet's joints. It's a simple, yet effective preventative formula designed to maintain agility in younger pets. It assists in building strong bones, and flexible joints.

- Green lipped mussels can only be found in the waters surrounding New Zealand! It’s noticeable green hue along the edge of their shell can be attributed to the name “green lipped” mussel. The native people of New Zealand, Maoris, have known the health benefits of the mussels since the 1970s, but they have only been introduced to the western world in recent years.
