Glucosamine, Green-Lipped Mussel, and MSM Joint Support Chews for Cats
Product Description
Vet IQ Hip and Joint Treats are dual-texture cat chews with a crunchy outside and soft, creamy center, formulated with six active ingredients to support joint health, flexibility, and mobility in cats. Glucosamine supports joint tissue, green-lipped mussel supports joint comfort and mobility, MSM supports connective tissue health, menhaden fish oil supports mobility and flexibility, manganese supports cartilage and bone strength, and vitamin E supports muscle health. Savory chicken flavor. For cats 12 weeks and older.
Benefits
- Glucosamine for Joint Tissue: Glucosamine HCl from shellfish supports the structural integrity of joint tissue and cartilage, keeping the joint working well during everyday movement.
- Green-Lipped Mussel for Joint Comfort: Green-lipped mussel is a whole-food marine ingredient that brings both natural glycosaminoglycans and omega-3s to the formula, supporting joint comfort, lubrication, and mobility.
- MSM for Connective Tissue: MSM is a sulfur compound that keeps connective tissue, the tendons and ligaments surrounding the joint, healthy and intact alongside the structural support from glucosamine.
- Fish Oil for Mobility and Flexibility: Omega-3 fatty acids from menhaden fish oil help lubricate the joint, take the edge off occasional stiffness, and keep the joint moving more freely day to day.
- Manganese for Cartilage and Bone: Manganese plays a direct role in building and maintaining cartilage and bone tissue, the structural foundation that everything else in the joint depends on.
- Vitamin E for Muscle Health: Vitamin E supports the muscles around the joint and acts as an antioxidant, helping protect joint tissue from the oxidative stress that builds up during normal daily activity.

How to Use
Dosage and Administration Instructions
- Give by weight: Administer one chew per pound of body weight daily; the active ingredient amounts scale with the number of chews given.
- Give daily for best results: Consistent daily use supports steady absorption and allows glucosamine and other active ingredients to build up over time.
- Give directly as a treat: The dual-texture format and chicken flavor allow these to be given directly by hand without needing to be hidden in food or broken apart for most cats.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Contains shellfish: The glucosamine in this formula is sourced from shellfish; cats with documented shellfish sensitivities should have this noted before introducing the supplement.
- For cats 12 weeks and older only: Do not give to kittens younger than 12 weeks; confirm age before starting supplementation in very young or underweight cats.
- Supplemental feeding only: These are supplement chews for supplemental use and are not a complete and balanced food for any cat life stage or breed size.
- Consult your vet if stiffness persists: If your cat's joint stiffness or mobility issues do not improve with consistent supplementation, consult your veterinarian to rule out conditions requiring further evaluation.
Storage Instructions
- Cool and dry location: Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sun exposure and heat to maintain the texture and potency of the active ingredients between uses.
- Seal after each use: Close the bag securely after every session to keep air and moisture out, which can affect both the soft creamy center and the integrity of the active joint ingredients.
- Keep away from children: Store out of reach of children and other pets; these are cat supplement chews not intended for human use or for other animal species.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What signs suggest a cat may benefit from a joint supplement?
Ans: Reduced willingness to jump up or climb, hesitation on stairs, stiffness after rest, changes in grooming habits around the lower back and tail, and reduced activity or play frequency are common signs that a cat's joint comfort may be declining.
Q2: What is green-lipped mussel and why is it in this formula?
Ans: Green-lipped mussel is a shellfish from New Zealand that contains natural glycosaminoglycans and omega-3 fatty acids in a whole-food form. It is included for joint comfort and mobility support, and is one of the few natural ingredients that provides both structural joint support and an anti-inflammatory omega-3 profile from a single ingredient source.
Q3: Why does the active ingredient table show amounts per 10 chews rather than per single chew?
Ans: The active ingredient amounts are listed per 10 chews because the formula is designed to be dosed at one chew per pound of body weight. A 10 lb cat receives 10 chews daily and gets the full listed amounts. A 5 lb cat receives 5 chews and gets half those amounts. The per-10-chew listing reflects the intended full daily dose for a typical adult cat in that weight range.
Q4: How is MSM different from glucosamine?
Ans: Glucosamine is used to support joint tissue and cartilage, the structural components of the joint itself. MSM is a sulfur compound that supports healthy connective tissue, including tendons and ligaments that connect and surround the joint. They work on different aspects of joint health, which is why including both gives broader coverage than either ingredient would deliver alone.
Q5: Is this supplement suitable for senior cats?
Ans: Yes. Senior cats are one of the primary audiences for this formula. As cats age, cartilage thins and joint fluid decreases, leading to stiffness and reduced mobility. The six active ingredients address several of these mechanisms: glucosamine for cartilage, green-lipped mussel for joint lubrication and comfort, MSM for connective tissue, and fish oil for flexibility.
Q6: Does the glucosamine in this formula come from shellfish?
Ans: Yes. The glucosamine is listed as Glucosamine HCl with a shellfish source noted in the active ingredient information. Cats with a documented shellfish sensitivity should have this confirmed before starting the supplement.
Q7: How long before I see results?
Ans: Some cats respond within a few weeks of consistent daily use. Others may take four to six weeks before visible improvement in mobility or activity levels. Joint supplements work gradually by building up in the joint tissue over time.

If a destination, shipping service, or product is not eligible for delivery, checkout will not offer that shipping option.
2. Order Processing Time
Orders are generally processed within 1–5 business days before shipment. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.
Our order cut-off time is 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays begin processing on the next business day.
Processing may include order verification and preparation for shipment.
3. U.S. Shipping Methods, Costs, and Transit Times

For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.
International delivery estimates may be affected by carrier operations, customs processing, local holidays, weather, or other events outside normal transit conditions.
5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.

Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.
