Does your facility adhere to GMP guidelines?
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are only applicable to the manufacture of drugs for human consumption. Our products fall under pet supplementation guidelines, which are also regulated by the FDA, but under their own set of standards. In addition to following FDA regulation in our manufacturing processes, we are also a member of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), which provides safe standards for pet supplements manufacturing and labeling.
Why are your products labeled “For Animal Use Only?”
Because we follow the FDA’s guidelines for pet supplements and do not manufacture human products.
Where do you source your fish?
All of our fish (and krill) is sourced wild, not farmed. Our salmon are sourced from the Pacific Ocean near Alaska; our Pollock are sourced from the Bering Sea (also near Alaska); our Krill are sourced from the Antarctic Ocean.
Where are your products manufactured?
In our Woodinville, Washington plant.
Are your products sustainable / environmentally friendly?
Our philosophy about sustainable, environmentally - friendly approaches runs through pretty much everything we do here at Grizzly… starting with our choice of sourcing wild fish and krill, versus farmed. Aside from its superior and dramatically higher levels of inherent Omega - 3s and nutrients, it is our firm belief that wild caught salmon is far more sustainable for our environment than fish farms. Although it is theoretically possible to have an environmentally neutral fish farming operation, they are expensive to run properly, and thus quite rare. Secondly, we do not “go fishing” for the wild salmon used in our oil and treats. Instead, the idea for our business was born when we discovered that many parts of the salmon were being discarded / going unused after the fish had been processed into filets for human consumption. By developing partnership agreements and locating facilities adjacent to human-grade fish processing plants in Alaska, we are able to use the left over co - products to extract our salmon oil, thus utilizing far more of the fish for a very good purpose: our pets! Last but not least, we were 1 of the first pet supplement companies to offer an alternative fish oil line sourced from wild Alaskan Pollock, which we hope continues to satisfy our customers with similar health benefits at a more affordable price point.
What makes Grizzly Joint Aid different from all the other joint supplements out there?
Joint Aid combines not 2 or three, but 4 powerful joint ingredients, along with wild Antarctic krill oil to support digestive absorption and provide an appetizing flavor to dogs.The result is a unique joint product that is easy to use, that dogs love to eat, and that can be more readily absorbed by your dog to help maintain the health of hips, joints, cartilage, collagen, and other cell structures of the body that are responsible for movement.
What are your sources for Glucosamine and Chondroitin?
Our Glucosamine Sulfate is derived from a crustacean source and the Chondroitin Sulfate is derived from a porcine source.
Is it necessary to have young dogs (ages 2 and 3) on this supplement?
There are 2 schools of thought… proactive prevention to forestall issues with a dog’s joints/cartilage; versus addressing issues as/when they arise. If you decide to begin supplementing Grizzly Joint Aid proactively, your dog will receive the benefit of good antioxidants, digestive support in absorbing nutrients, as well as proactive support for their cartilage and joints.
Which is better: Joint Aid liquid formula or the mini pellet formula?
Both the liquid and mini pellet formulas provide the same amounts of active joint ingredients. Choose the 1 that you find easiest to use and/or that your dog prefers to eat.
