What are the benefits of using for pets?
The advantages of the Agapet® 100% natural range of products for cats and dogs can be significant, enhancing your pet's normal diet and helping to support a healthy balance.
Nutritional support
Agapet® supplements can provide additional nutrients that may be lacking in your pet's daily diet, ensuring they receive a well-rounded intake of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients.
Joint health
Many of our supplement formulations contain green-lipped mussel, glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM that support joint health in pets, often particularly helpful in older animals with joint issues.
Skin and coat health
New Zealand green mussel oil is helpful for pets' skin and hair health in many aspects:
1. Nourishing the skin:
• Providing essential fatty acids: Green mussel oil is rich in omega - 3 fatty acids such as DHA and EPA. These fatty acids are crucial for maintaining the normal structure and function of pets' skin cells. They can enhance the stability of the cell membrane of skin cells, enabling skin cells to better retain moisture and nutrients and prevent problems such as dry and flaky skin, making pets' skin healthier and more moisturized.
• Relieving skin inflammation: It has good anti - inflammatory properties. Many pets may develop skin inflammation due to allergies, parasitic infections, bacterial or fungal infections, resulting in symptoms such as itching, redness, and rashes. The active ingredients in green mussel oil can help reduce the inflammatory response of the skin, relieve pets' discomfort, and reduce the occurrence and development of skin diseases.
2. Improving hair quality:
• Increasing hair luster: Omega - 3 fatty acids can nourish pets' hair follicles and provide sufficient nutritional support for hair growth. This makes the hair healthier and stronger, and it looks smoother and shinier, improving the overall appearance of pets' hair. Long - term use can make pets' hair soft and shiny and reduce problems such as dry and rough hair.
• Reducing hair loss: It helps regulate pets' endocrine system and maintain the normal metabolism of the body. This has a positive effect on reducing abnormal hair loss in pets. By improving the overall health of pets, it fundamentally reduces hair loss problems caused by nutrient deficiencies, endocrine disorders, and other reasons, making pets' hair thicker.
Digestive health
New Zealand green mussel oil is beneficial to pets' digestive health.
In terms of ingredients, green mussel oil is rich in various nutrients. It contains abundant unsaturated fatty acids which are helpful for maintaining the health of the intestinal mucosa and enhancing the absorption function of the intestine. A healthy intestinal mucosa can absorb nutrients more efficiently and reduce the occurrence probability of problems such as indigestion.
From the perspective of the mechanism of action on the digestive system, green mussel oil can adjust the micro-ecological environment of the intestine to a certain extent. It is beneficial for the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and maintains the balance of the intestinal flora. A balanced intestinal flora is helpful for the normal fermentation and digestion process of food, thus promoting pets' digestion.
In addition, the overall regulatory effect of green mussel oil on the digestive system is also reflected in that it can relieve some discomfort symptoms caused by a sensitive stomach, such as diarrhea and vomiting, enhance the tolerance of the pet's gastrointestinal tract, and reduce the occurrence of digestive function disorders. It plays a positive role in pets' digestive health in many aspects.
Immune system support
Many of the Agapet® supplement range can help boost your pet's immune system, enabling them to have a healthy immune response that will better defend against infections and illnesses.
Dental health
Our treats range is great for training and rewards, plus their robust freeze-dried structure means they can also support healthy gums and teeth in animals of any age.
Cognitive function
Agapet® supplements contain antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, such as those with green-lipped mussel, which have been studied for their potential to support brain health and cognitive function, particularly in senior pets.
Allergy management
Agapet® supplements are made from premium 100% natural ingredients. We don't use any artificial additives, fillers, grains, GM foods or sweeteners, which can often be a cause of allergic reaction.
How much is too much treating for my pet?
The recommended amount of Agapet® to feed your pet each day varies depending on their weight, but should not constitute more than 10% of your pet’s diet.
Can Joint & Skin support capsules be cut open to spread on my pet's normal food?
Yes, if you do not wish to dose your pet by hand, you can cut the capsule open and spreading it on your pet's food.
As the core ingredient is green-lipped mussel oil, which has a yummy fishy flavour and aroma, you pet will probably love this.

To get the maximum benefit, make sure you give your pet double the amount of softgels for the first 14 days (or as recommended by your vet), and allow 4-6 weeks of continual usage.
Do I need to specify taking it before or after meals?
It can be taken both before and after meals. The ingredients are fatty acids which will not harm the stomach.
Why do veterinarians sometimes instruct a dosage higher than the recommended dosage on the package?
1. Animal individual differences:
• Due to different severity of illness. For example, in cases of severe heart failure or renal failure, a higher dose is needed to control the condition.
• Considering weight and body size factors, large animals may require a higher dose.
2. Characteristics of drug metabolism:
• When absorption and bioavailability are low, a higher dose is needed to ensure drug efficacy.
• If the metabolism rate is fast, a higher dose may be required to maintain an effective concentration.
3. Impact of combined medication:
• When combined with other drugs and there is an interaction that reduces its efficacy, the dose may be increased. However, veterinarians will carefully evaluate and closely monitor the animal's reaction.
Can it be taken together with other health products or medicines?
Except for health products containing oils (such as fish oil), since they will affect the efficiency of the furry pet's intestines and stomach in absorbing Agapet®, it is recommended to take them at an interval of 2 hours. Most of the other health products and medicines can be taken together.
Does long-term consumption have a burden on the body?
Please feel at ease to consume it for a long time. The ingredients of Agapet® are natural fatty acids and it does not contain heavy metals.
The raw material of Agapet® is seafood. Will the sodium content be very high?
No! The sodium content in one Agapet® is only about 0.35 milligrams (milligrams are smaller than grams)! The sodium content is low, so furry kids with kidney disease or heart disease can safely take it every day!
The recommended dosage is the same for animals weighing from 10kg to 30kg. Is there a risk of overdose for smaller animals?
Please rest assured to follow the recommended dosage, because:
A. Agapet® is a natural fatty acid food and is very safe.
B. Each Agapet® is very small in quantity (0.15g /cap).
C. Many small special pets use the recommended dosage safely, such as rabbits, rats, and birds.
D. If one capsule is divided into two parts and given in installments, fatty acid oxidation may occur during the placement process and affect the effect. To achieve the best effect, it is recommended to feed the whole capsule.
Is it normal for the Agapet® capsules to have different colors?
Agapet® is a natural marine biological product. Due to the different fishing seasons of the main raw material, the green-lipped mussel, and the different content ratios of male and female mussels, there will be differences in color and smell of the product, which is a normal phenomenon.
It does not affect the efficacy.
Is it normal to have sediments (commonly dark red-brown/white) in the capsule?
It is normal oil crystallization and does not affect the product's efficacy. Please consume it with peace of mind.
