What 'Globally Sourced Ingredients' Really Means for Dog Joint Supplements
We recently received a question that every dog owner should be asking: "What does 'globally sourced ingredients' really mean?" It’s a great one — and the kind of transparency we love to talk about. Because when it comes to what goes into your big dog’s body, you deserve to know exactly where it’s coming from and why we chose it.
Why Some Ingredients Are Globally Sourced
Not every ingredient can be produced at the same quality level here in the U.S. Some of the most effective, research-backed nutrients for joint health are best grown in specific regions where the soil and climate make them more potent. For example, turmeric thrives in India, and Boswellia comes primarily from regions in India, the Middle East, and Northern Africa where it’s been cultivated for centuries for its anti-inflammatory properties.
By sourcing these ingredients globally, we’re not cutting corners — we’re choosing the most effective, highest-quality forms available. Every raw ingredient we use is selected for its proven benefits and purity, not for convenience or cost.
Partnering with Trusted U.S.-Based Suppliers
Here’s an important distinction: sourcing globally doesn’t mean buying directly from random overseas suppliers. All of our ingredients are sourced through trusted, U.S.-based partners who manage the entire import and quality verification process. They ensure every shipment comes with proper documentation, testing, and traceability before it ever reaches our manufacturing facility.
How We Ensure Quality and Safety
Every ingredient — no matter where it’s grown — is tested multiple times for purity, safety, and potency. First, each ingredient is tested before manufacturing to confirm identity and rule out contaminants or heavy metals. Then, once the supplement is produced, it’s tested again after manufacturing to verify that what’s on the label is exactly what’s in the product.
All of our products are manufactured in the USA in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility, which means they follow the same quality standards used for human supplements. These processes ensure every chew is safe, effective, and consistent from bottle to bottle.
Built for Big Dogs, Backed by Big Standards
We created this supplement for our own Great Dane, Lucy — and we’d never compromise on quality for her or for yours. When we say “globally sourced,” it means we’ve gone to the ends of the earth (literally) to find the best ingredients possible and brought them together under the strictest U.S. manufacturing standards.
Because when it comes to your dog’s health, transparency isn’t optional — it’s a promise.
