Eleni’s most-asked question at the Exarchia counter, answered with the same four bullets she gives across the counter on a Wednesday.
What we stock
The best-evidenced intervention, measurable in gait analysis. Dose matters far more than brand.
Whole-food omegas plus glycosaminoglycans. Smaller trials, consistent results.
A different mechanism at a much lower dose. An addition, not a replacement.
Not a supplement, and the one nobody wants to hear. It outperforms everything above, and it is free.

Buying guide
Low-dose glucosamine and chondroitin — not useless, but the doses in most treats are a fraction of the studies. MSM on its own — thin evidence as a standalone. Turmeric without a bioavailability partner — curcumin is poorly absorbed by dogs. Hyaluronic acid taken orally — excellent injected into a joint, largely digested when swallowed.
Compare milligrams per daily serving to your dog’s weight. A proprietary blend with no breakdown exists to hide a low dose.
