Iams® Veterinary Formula™ Joint Plus Joint

Recommended For:

Joint health issues affect more than 11 million dogs in the U.S.A.* - dogs of every size, age, and breed. The good news is, your veterinarian can recommend measures that can help delay the aging progression of such joint issues. Nutrition is one vital component of that regimen. This formula has glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, to provide the building blocks for healthy cartilage; L-Carnitine to help your pet metabolize fat; and micro-crystals to help reduce tartar buildup across the whole mouth during and after meals.
