Devil's Claw in dog food

Medium quality ingredient - nutritionally adequate and unlikely to cause any problems e.g. fillers etc

Harpagophytum, or devil's claw as it is more commonly known, is a plant that grows in the deserts of southern Africa. It has been used in the treatment of arthritis for centuries and clinical trials have shown that it is as effective as many arthritis medicines in reducing joint pain and easing mobility. It is, however, rarely used in dog foods due to its relatively high cost.
