Why Joint Health Matters: The Role of MOVOFLEX® Soft Chews in Keeping Dogs Active
Most pet parents miss noticing the small changes. Their furry companion hesitates before jumping into the car. A favourite game of fetch lasts only a few minutes. Walks feel shorter, and that spring in the step starts to fade. These are not just signs of aging; they are often early indicators that joint health needs attention.
Mobility affects every part of life for our four-legged friends. It shapes how they explore, exercise, and stay connected with the world around them. While slowing down may seem inevitable with time, there are ways to help maintain flexibility and comfort. One such option that many rely on is Virbac MOVOFLEX® Soft Chews.
The Quiet Impact of Joint Health
Joints bear the brunt of daily activity. Running to grab that ball, climbing stairs, even standing up after a nap, these movements all rely on strong, flexible joints. Over time, cartilage can wear down, inflammation can set in, and stiffness becomes more common.
For some breeds, joint issues can appear earlier due to genetics or size. Larger companions, in particular, tend to face joint stress simply because of their weight. But even smaller, active pooches are not immune to mobility problems. That is why supporting joint health should not be an afterthought; it is part of everyday care, much like nutrition or exercise.
Supporting dog mobility from a young age or at the first signs of stiffness can help your companion stay active and comfortable longer.
MOVOFLEX® Soft Chews: What They Offer
Virbac MOVOFLEX® Soft Chews are designed to support dog mobility, joint health, structure, and flexibility through a combination of carefully selected ingredients. These chews can be introduced at any life stage and fit easily into daily routines. With no need for a loading dose, they provide a straightforward option for those looking to support their pet’s movement and comfort.
Many notice visible changes within a week. It might be a longer walk, a notable ease in rising to stand, or simply more enthusiasm during play.
Ingredients That Play a Role
The effectiveness of Virbac MOVOFLEX® Soft Chews comes from five specific ingredients chosen for how they work both individually and together.
- Eggshell Membrane: Sourced from the delicate membrane beneath the eggshell, this ingredient contains collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—components naturally found in joints. It helps support flexibility and ease of movement.
- Boswellia Serrata Extract: Used for centuries for joint support, this plant extract helps maintain comfort and can alleviate inflammation, especially after physical activity.
- Hyaluronic Acid: A structural component of joints, hyaluronic acid contributes to lubrication, supporting smooth, comfortable movement.
- Krill Meal: Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, krill meal helps promote joint health. It is harvested in a sustainable way that minimises environmental impact.
- Astaxanthin: A potent antioxidant derived from microalgae, astaxanthin helps protect joints from oxidative stress, which contributes to wear over time.
Designed for Different Sizes
Virbac MOVOFLEX® Soft Chews come in two size options to suit different companions:
- Medium size: 15kg to 30kg
- Large size: 35kg and above
With just one chew per day, they are easy to add to the routine, whether after breakfast, before bed, or as an afternoon treat.
A Step Towards Keeping Them Moving
There is no substitute for the joy of seeing a furry companion moving freely, chasing after a ball, exploring the park, or simply getting up comfortably after a long nap. But maintaining that freedom takes attention to joint health, especially as years go by.
While nothing prevents the natural ageing process, supporting the body’s joints can help slow down its impact. With consistent care, whether that means gentle exercise, a balanced diet, or a daily supplement like Virbac MOVOFLEX® Soft Chews, it is possible to help your loyal companion stay active, curious, and comfortable.
Because when movement is easy, life feels better, for them and you.
