He Used to Sprint for the Ball - Until He Didn't

Our Labrador Jack was unstoppable. At the park, he’d race ahead to catch the ball, leap into the pond, then come tearing back for more. He was only five - full of energy and always on the move. But one day, he hesitated. Just for a second.
Then another time, he limped a little after a long run. We chalked it up to tired legs, or maybe a bit of rough play.
Then it happened again. And again.
Our vet explained something we hadn’t even considered: joint wear doesn’t wait for old age. Active dogs - especially athletic breeds - can develop joint stress much earlier than we think.
That’s when we started looking into proactive support. Not pain relief or treatment, but something that could protect his joints before real damage set in.
That’s how we found ProJoint 4Dogs - and it’s changed everything. Unlike basic supplements that include one or two ingredients, ProJoint 4Dogs contains 14 active components working in synergy.
Cartilage protection & repair - Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Collagen Type II
Joint lubrication & mobility - Hyaluronic Acid, Omega3s from Green-Lipped Mussel & Salmon Oil
Healthy inflammatory response, joint comfort & post-activity recovery - MSM, Curcumin + Piperine (turmeric + black pepper)
Antioxidant support & tissue strength - Vitamin C, Vitamin E
Is your dog suddenly hesitating on walks? Struggling to jump in the car? Slowing down on trails they used to race through?
You might think it’s just age catching up-or a lazy phase. But for many dogs, especially active breeds and weekend warriors, the cause is something far more common: early joint wear.
Joints Work Hard-Even in Young, Fit Dogs
Whether your dog is chasing tennis balls or herding sheep, their joints are under constant pressure. Every sprint, twist, and landing puts stress on the cartilage and connective tissue that keeps them moving fluidly.
That wear can start early. And because dogs often hide discomfort, the signs-slowing down, stiffness after rest, reluctance to jump-are easy to miss.
Veterinarians now recommend proactive joint support not just for older dogs, but for:
- Working dogs (farm, agility, scent work)
- High-energy breeds (Labradors, Border Collies, Shepherds)
- Large breeds with heavier frames
- Young dogs from rapid-growth breeds like Great Danes, Mastiffs or Retrievers
ProJoint 4Dogs: Support From the Inside Out
Instead of waiting for stiffness to set in, ProJoint 4Dogs helps you support your dog’s joints before they become a problem.
What’s Inside Projoint - and Why It Works
1. Glucosamine Sulphate
The major building block of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which give cartilage its ability to retain water and resist compression. As dogs age or experience joint strain, natural Glucosamine production can’t keep up - so supplementation helps maintain the “spongy” cushioning effect in joints and prevents brittle, dry cartilage.
2. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
A powerful joint soothing and antioxidant agent that supplies bioavailable sulphur. MSM supports tissue repair, reduces stiffness, and plays a key role in collagen and joint matrix formation.
3. Green-Lipped Mussel
This New Zealand super-ingredient is naturally rich in omega-3s and GAGs like chondroitin. It helps soothe tender, painful joints, improve mobility and protect against cartilage breakdown.
4. Hyaluronic Acid
The fourth joint powerhouse - a vital part of synovial fluid. It keeps joints lubricated, absorbs shock, and supports pain-free movement by nourishing cartilage from within.
Supportive Nutrients That Make It Work
5. Chondroitin Sulphate
A key Glycosaminoglycan that helps cartilage resist wear and stay flexible. Works synergistically with Glucosamine for better joint protection.
6. Manganese Ascorbate
Essential for converting Glucosamine into usable GAGs. Without it, Glucosamine supplementation is far less effective. Also supports collagen formation and antioxidant protection.
7. Collagen Matrix (with Type II Collagen)
Provides the structural protein needed to build strong connective tissue in joints, tendons, and ligaments. Type II Collagen in particular is shown to improve comfort and joint integrity - especially in aging or high-impact dogs.
8. Vitamin C
A co-factor for collagen synthesis, and vital for tissue repair, bone health, and resilience under stress.
9. Vitamin E
A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects joint tissues from oxidative stress and helps maintain cell membrane stability.
10. Curcumin with Piperine
A powerful joint soothing duo. Curcumin reduces joint discomfort at the cellular level, while piperine (from black pepper) enhances its absorption and effectiveness.
11. Salmon Oil
A rich source of EPA and DHA omega-3s. These help support joint comfort and mobility and complement Green-Lipped Mussel’s naturally occurring fatty acids.
Gut & Absorption Support
12. L-Glutamic Acid
Supports the health of gut lining cells and boosts absorption of key nutrients.
13. Oatmeal Extract
Provides beta-glucans that nourish beneficial gut bacteria and help modulate immune responses.
14. Beet Pulp
A prebiotic fibre source that promotes digestive health - which is essential for absorbing and using all the joint-building ingredients in Projoint.
The Role of Synovial Fluid
Synovial fluid is a thick, slippery liquid found in all joints. It:
- Lubricates the joint (like oil in an engine)
- Cushions movement and absorbs shock
- Feeds the cartilage, which has no blood supply of its own
When this fluid breaks down - due to age, overuse or joint irritation - joints can become stiff and dry, making movement uncomfortable.
Hyaluronic acid, omega-3s and antioxidants in Projoint help maintain the viscosity and function of synovial fluid to keep your dog moving freely.
This combination supports joint comfort, and it targets joint wear and reduced mobility - without needing to wait for problems to get worse.
Why Early Support Matters
Joint health isn't just about age - it's about activity + genetics + wear over time.
The truth is, once cartilage breaks down, it doesn’t rebuild easily. That’s why starting support early is one of the best things you can do to help your dog stay mobile and pain-free for life.
Veterinarians now take the same proactive approach with joint care as they do with dental care or vaccinations. Prevention is cheaper, easier, and more effective than waiting for damage.
The Verdict?
If your dog is active, growing fast or already showing subtle signs of slowing down - don’t wait.
ProJoint 4Dogs gives your companion the daily support they need to stay in motion, keep up with the adventures they love and move comfortably for years to come.
Because every dog deserves to run, chase and play-at every stage of life.
