3. Eggshell Membrane

I use supplements containing eggshell membrane. This was on the recommendation of Scout’s orthopedic surgeon after she had cruciate ligament surgery on both of her rear legs. She also has a touch of arthritis.

“Eggshell membrane for dogs is a natural supplement used primarily to support joint health and improve mobility. It is a thin, protein-rich film found inside eggshells that contains beneficial compounds like collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid, which are key building blocks of joint cartilage. Studies have shown that it can help reduce joint pain and stiffness in dogs, particularly those with arthritis or age-related mobility issues.”

Dasuquin Advanced with Eggshell Membrane (ESM) is what I give her.
