I’ve long known about food toppings, which can be sprinkled over kibble and wet food to support mobility, skin health and even digestion.
But there’s a certain ingredient making waves across the country, one Aussies say can actually helping to decrease expensive vet bills down the track.

Mussel powder is packed with bioavailable omega-3s, phospholipids, and essential nutrients, and it’s proven to have endless benefits for our furry friends.
“I’ve been giving this to my 10-year-old Labrador for a few months now. It took a little while, but he’s moving much more freely and seems more comfortable getting up.”
Available at Marine Vitality, $49.99 for 150g, the mussels are designed to support joint health, digestion, skin, and long-term wellbeing for both cats and dogs.
Marine Vitality prides itself on sourcing mussels that are grown, harvested, and milled right here in Australia.
“Jervis Bay mussels showed strong levels of omega-3 EPA and DHA, with a large portion bound to phospholipids. This form is known for greater bioavailability, meaning the body can use it more efficiently,” says Dr Taiwo Akanbi, University of Newcastle.

From digestion to joint health, pet owners say their “dogs love it” and has “helped to put a spring in their step”.

Another adds: “Our staffy had slowed right down and we were starting to worry. After about six weeks, there’s been a noticeable lift in his energy.”
