Since September is Healthy Cat Month I can’t help but shine a light on one of my favorite underrated supplements for cats: Green Lipped Mussel.

Most people know it for joint health, but there’s so much more packed into these little shellfish from New Zealand. Along with cushioning joints and reducing stiffness, they also:

✨ Support cartilage and connective tissue with natural glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) like chondroitin.
✨ Strengthen the immune system with essential trace minerals like zinc, copper, and manganese.
✨ Help protect the stomach lining and liver from inflammation, thanks to natural LOX inhibitors.
✨ Promote cellular repair and metabolic balance for long-term vitality.
✨ And here’s a big one: GLM is rich in manganese—the same mineral found in fur. For cats on raw or carnivore diets, manganese can be hard to source unless you’re feeding whole prey, making this supplement a smart, natural way to fill the gap.

What’s important to note: this powdered form of GLM doesn’t contain Omega-3s like it would if it came in oil form. That’s why pairing it with a high-quality Omega-3 source like Seal Oil is key—especially for supporting skin, coat, heart, and cognitive health.

What I love is how whole-body this supplement really is. While yes, it’s fantastic for seniors, starting young means your cat can enjoy smoother movement, stronger joints, and better organ support as they age. It’s about setting them up for a lifetime of comfort and curiosity. 💚

Don’t wait until your kitty starts slowing down to introduce this supplement. Green Lipped Mussel can help keep them playful, mischievous, and comfortable at every stage of life.

September is Healthy Cat Month! So let’s talk about one of the most underrated ways to support feline wellness: Seal Oil Omega-3. At Head & Tail Canine Nutrition, we believe cats deserve supplements that match their instincts, intelligence, and agility. Our Seal Oil Omega-3 Supplement for Cats is rich in DHA, EPA...AND....DPA— three powerful Omega-3s that go beyond what fish oil has to offer.

Here’s 3 big benefits of how seal oil helps your cat thrive:

1. Joint Support: Whether they’re leaping onto countertops or chasing shadows, seal oil helps maintain joint flexibility and reduce inflammation, keeping your cat limber and playful.

2. Cognitive Boost: DPA fuels brain health, supporting memory, learning, and problem-solving—so your cat can keep outsmarting the treat jar.

3. Heart Protection: Omega-3s help regulate heart rhythm and reduce oxidative stress, promoting cardiovascular longevity and vitality.

Still not convinced? Here's 2 more bonus benefits:

4. Shinier Coat & Healthier Skin: Seal oil nourishes from the inside out, reducing dryness and flakiness while enhancing coat gloss and softness.

5. Immune System Support: With natural anti-inflammatory properties, seal oil helps fortify your cat’s immune defenses against everyday stressors.

Give your cat the gift of lifelong health—because they’re not just pets, they’re family. 🐾 Available now at Head to Tail Canine Nutrition!

🐾 It’s Healthy Cat Month! 🐾

Our cats deserve more than just “enough to get by.” They deserve food and supplements that help them feel their best that keeps them curious, playful, and full of life. This September, we’re diving into four powerful ways to boost feline wellness from the inside out:

🌊 Seal Oil: isn’t “just” another fish oil; it’s a clean, potent source of Omega-3s that nourish the brain, protect the heart, and ease aging joints.

🐚 Green-Lipped Mussel: brings natural anti-inflammatory support, helping cats of all ages move with ease and stay active longer.

🦠 **Feline-Specific Probiotics** keep digestion running smoothly and strengthen the immune system, designed specifically for a carnivore’s gut.

🍗 A Carnivore Diet: means feeding them the way nature intended—high-quality proteins that fuel energy, maintain muscle, and support a glossy coat.

Throughout the month we’ll be sharing deep dives into each of these essentials—so you can make small changes today that add up to a healthier, happier cat tomorrow.

Because when it comes to our cats, “thriving” should always be the goal. 💛🐾

A stroke in your dog or cat can happen suddenly..and silently 😢

Would you recognize a stroke and would you know what to do? Last week, Homer had a stroke. 😱 It was sudden, scary, and heartbreaking—and it made something painfully clear: veterinary medicine doesn’t have standard-of-care protocols for strokes in companion animals.

That’s why today we’re diving into what we’ve learned, what works, and how to respond if your dog or cat ever shows signs of stroke.

Join us today at 12pm ET as we discuss:
🧠 How to recognize stroke symptoms in dogs and cats—and how to tell them apart from lookalike conditions like seizures
🧠 The most common risk factors, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes
🧠 Our acute stroke response plan: the latest supplement and peptide protocols to support recovery and protect the brain

Plus: Inside Scoop members can download our Stroke Guide with all post-stroke protocols, neuroprotective tools, and recommended compounding pharmacies.

👉 Comment SCOOPERS and we'll message you a link to join the Inside Scoop, a Planet Paws community where you can watch the full episode, plus over 5 years of previous content, submit your questions, and get access to ebooks and guides.
