WHY IT’S ON DIXY’S
I chose AnimalSide Srl because it is an Italian company led directly by veterinary professionals, with controlled production standards and formulations developed on scientific foundations for the dog’s real wellbeing.
Before introducing their products to DIXY’S, I personally attended training with their experts to better understand the formulations, usage, and selection criteria behind each product.
ProtectionArtro+ was selected for its extremely complete formulation and its targeted approach to everyday joint support, especially for small dogs that are highly active or exposed to continuous stress from jumping, running, or intense movement.
Personally, I also use it periodically for Carly, who tends to jump everywhere, as a preventative support for long-term joint wellbeing.
The formula combines glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin, Omega 3, green-lipped mussel, turmeric, and other carefully selected ingredients chosen to support mobility, joint flexibility, and cartilage maintenance.
WHAT IT ISN’T
• It is not a simple product formulated only for palatability.
• It is not a product designed exclusively for senior dogs.
• It is not a miracle solution that replaces veterinary care, weight management, or proper movement.
• It is not a generic “supplement”: it is a complementary feed formulated according to specific nutritional criteria for canine joint support.
It’s here because it passes all four filters of the DIXY’S Criteria.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it only suitable for senior dogs?
No. Joint support can also be beneficial for younger dogs that are particularly active or exposed to continuous daily joint stress.
How can I tell if my dog may have joint pain or mobility issues?
Some dogs tend to show signs very gradually over time. Common signs may include stiffness after resting, difficulty jumping or climbing stairs, reduced willingness to move, changes in gait, or tiring more easily during walks.
If you notice changes in your dog’s movement or mobility, it is always important to consult your veterinarian.
How is it administered?
The tablets are palatable and can be given directly or mixed with food.
How long does it take to notice support?
Timing can vary depending on age, lifestyle, joint condition, and consistency of use. With joint support products, consistency tends to play an important role over time.
