Hill's Prescription Diet Canine j/d has a unique formula. The high content of Omega-3 fatty acids soothes inflamed tissue and relieves painful joints. It helps to maintain joint cartilage thanks to high levels of EPA (a special Omega-3 fatty acid from fish oil). Natural glucosamine and chondroitin provide the building blocks for healthy cartilage. Added L-carnitine helps maintain optimal body weight, and improves the quality of life by helping dogs run, play and jump more easily, as well as making it easier to get up after lying down.
