Breeder's Choice wants every dog to have as many good years as possible.
Breeder's Choice was started by the family more than 50 years ago and is still family owned and operated. Because they're dog lovers and experienced dog owners, they have seen first hand and many times how well-cared-for dogs can have their happiest years brought to a painful and premature end because of degenerating joints. Breeder's Choice created Active Care chews, biscuits, and food with natural bovine cartilage, trachea, and connective tissue, with the highest levels of unprocessed chondroitin and glucosamine, to develop, maintain, and repair the joints. It's for all breeds at all ages, naturally formulated with skin and coat conditioners, and makes taking good care of your dog's joints absolutely effortless. Make Active Care part of your dog's daily diet and give them all the happy, carefree years they deserve.

Your dogs joints--to know them is to love them.
Your dog's body includes dozens of joints, all protected and fitting together perfectly because of the vital spongy cartilage that coats each moving part. The cartilage provides lubrication, acts as the joint's shock absorbers, and prevents the hard, rough surfaces of the bones from coming into contact. It's the smooth function of your dog's joints that allow the thousands of movements, large and small, that get them through the day.

Which ages first, your dog or their joints?
It's actually the cartilage that ages, to devastating effect. Even while your dog seems quite young and vital, the cells in her joints that make substances called GAGs have already begun to fail. Chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and hyaluronic acid are some of the GAGs that provide the cartilage with its basic structural materials. Ironically, your dog's heart, lungs, and muscles are all perfectly healthy from their years of running around. But without chondroitin sulfate, their cartilage erodes, and their joints begin to feel every movement. Physical activity loses its appeal. Your dog becomes more sedentary. Eventually, the good health the rest of their body enjoyed deteriorates along with their ability to move.

What makes Active Care different?
What makes the Active Care system different is natural bovine cartilage and the patented method of obtaining it. Many dog foods have taken an easy leap onto the healthy joint bandwagon by adding varying amounts of synthetic forms of chondroitin and glucosamine then claiming to promote good joint health. Natural bovine cartilage provides the all-important GAGs in an all-natural stable form so there are no chemical side effects. With natural bovine cartilage, Active Care was specifically created to maintain good joint health.

It's never too soon. Never too late.
Puppies: Get your puppy's joints started right by providing complete, natural nutrition while they form and grow.

Adults: Adulthood can mean the slow silent beginning of joint problems. Good joint nutrition can delay their onset for years.

Seniors: Your dog will be moving more comfortably, with greater ease and less pain. Some see results in just a few weeks. Active Care works in conjunction with their veterinarian's prescribed therapy.
