Virbac has launched Movoflex Soft Chews, a joint care supplement for dogs.

Movoflex contains eggshell membrane, hyaluronic acid, Astaxanthin, Boswellia serrata and krill meal, formulated to support joint health and help increase quality of life.

Virbac says that eggshell membrane, which has been shown to have an effect on mobility in dogs and humans1, contains a number of naturally occurring elements involved in joint structure and function, including collagen, glucosamine and  chondroitin sulphate. 

The company claims that one palatable Movoflex Soft Chew per day can lead to a perceived increase in mobility in 7 days 2, regardless of the activity levels or age of the dog.

This, the company says, compared to other supplements which can require multiple daily tablets to be given for up to six weeks before you start to see an effect.

Dan Johnson, Product Manager at Virbac said: ‘Movoflex Soft Chews offer pet owners an easy to give and reliable joint supplement, and as with all of Virbac’s joint health and mobility solutions, they are of the highest quality and developed based on science.’

Movoflex Soft Chews are available in Small (<15kg), Medium (15kg- 35kg) and Large Dog (35kg) packs, each containing 30 chews and are available to order from your usual veterinary wholesaler.
