You see your furry baby hesitate at the stairs.
You notice a little limp after a morning walk.
You hear a slight exhale when she tries to stand up.
You notice less visits on the couch and bed.
Your dog or cat's pain is not just from getting older.
Here's what new research has discovered about your pet's aching joints and hips...
The Hidden "Cartilage-Eating" Enzyme Destroying Your Pet's Joints
Every single day, your pet’s cartilage is quietly being eaten away by MMPs.*
MMPs or "matrix metalloproteinase" are enzymes.
Enzymes that are higher in cats and dogs with joint problems.
A higher level of MMPs leads to the progressive damage of joint cartilage.
MMPs are not something dogs or cats "catch" like a virus.
They are naturally produced by the pet's own body.
In a healthy dog and cat’s joint, there is a strict 1:1 balance between MMP enzymes and their natural inhibitors (TIMPs).
TIMPs keep the damage of excess MMPs at bay.
But, when this balance is disrupted by:
- Inflammation - From processed food, allergens, and environmental toxins.
- A Few Extra Pounds - 6 out of 10 dogs and cats are overweight.
- Joint Instability - Certain breeds (German Shepherds, Labs, Maine Coons) are genetically prone
- Aging - It's not IF your pet develops MMP imbalance, but WHEN.
The result? Excessive MMPs destroy the two main building blocks of cartilage.
And older and larger dog breeds and all older cats are at higher risk from this "cartilage-eating enzyme."
The enzyme that breaks down the cushioning in your pet's joints.
Demolishing the spongy matrix that keeps bones from grinding together.
This is why glucosamine and collagen alone often don't work.
They try to rebuild cartilage.
But they can't stop the enzyme that's eating it faster than it can be replaced.
So the real problem isn't just "inflammation" or "old age."
The real problem is this cartilage-eating enzyme.
Prescription meds help with pain but they don't fix the problem.
They ONLY block pain signals.
They don’t stop the cartilage-eating enzyme from destroying your pet's joints day after day.
Plus, prescription meds can damage your pet's liver and kidneys.
And here's the scary part.
Once MMPs start destroying cartilage, the damage accelerates.
Each day of imbalance makes it worse.
This is why waiting to see if it gets better is the worst thing you can do.
So how do you stop MMPs without dangerous prescription drugs that damage the liver and kidneys?
The answer comes from an ancient remedy that modern science is finally validating...
Functional mushrooms.
Recent research discovered that certain mushroom compounds naturally inhibit MMP activity.
How? These mushroom compounds turn off the “cartilage-eating” enzyme at its source.
But not just any mushrooms...
How Functional Mushrooms Stop the Cartilage-Eating Enzyme (Without Damaging the Liver)
You see, since a pet's joint problems are amplified by this cartilage-eating enzyme...
The solution is simple: Shut down the enzyme.
And that's exactly what functional mushrooms do.
But not just any mushrooms...
You need mushrooms from the fruiting body. Not mycelium.
Here's why this matters…
Most cheap mushroom supplements use mycelium. That's the root system grown on grain.
The problem? The beneficial compounds, beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and other MMP-blocking compounds are concentrated in the fruiting body (the actual mushroom cap).
Mycelium products can contain as little as 5-10% actual mushroom compounds. The rest is just grain filler.
Fruiting body mushrooms contain up to 50% beta-glucans.
That's a 5X difference in the compounds that actually stop MMPs.
This is why you can give your pet grocery store mushrooms and see no results. Or buy cheap "mushroom supplements" that are mostly grain.
You need concentrated fruiting body extract to get enough MMP inhibiting compounds to make a real difference.
How do they work?
First, they directly block MMP enzyme activity.
Functional mushrooms contain beta-glucans and polysaccharides that attach to immune cells and signal them to reduce MMP production.
Less MMPs = Less cartilage destruction.
Second, they restore the natural balance.
Remember that 1:1 ratio between MMPs and TIMPs your pet needs?
Mushroom compounds increase TIMP levels, your pet's natural MMP inhibitors.
Third, they protect the cartilage cells themselves.
Mushroom compounds shield cartilage cells from the damage that triggers even more MMP production.
This breaks the vicious cycle of damage > inflammation > more MMPs > more damage.
And ALL without the liver and kidney damage.
This is why functional mushrooms work when other supplements have failed.
Other supplements try to rebuild cartilage while it's still being destroyed.
Functional mushrooms actually STOP the destruction from happening.
They protect the cartilage cells at the molecular level.
They shut down the enzymes eating away at your pet's joints.
And they do it safely, without toxic side effects.
That's why dogs and cats who take functional mushrooms can finally start moving easier, playing longer, and acting like their younger selves again.
Because for the first time, something is actually stopping the hidden enzyme that's been destroying their joints all along.
This is why we created Woof Creek Hip + Joint Support with concentrated fruiting body mushroom extract.
Not mycelium. Not grain filler. Pure fruiting body extract with clinically relevant levels of beta-glucans.
The kind of mushroom extract that actually stops MMPs.
But we didn't stop there...
A Complete Formula. Not Just Mushrooms.
While the functional mushroom blend stops MMP destruction, we added four complementary ingredients that work together to support complete joint recovery:
Pacific Whiting Omega-3s - While mushrooms block MMPs, omega-3s from Pacific Whiting reduce the inflammation that triggers MMP production in the first place. It's a one-two punch against joint damage.
New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels - These provide the glucosamine and chondroitin your pet needs to rebuild cartilage. But unlike standalone glucosamine supplements, these work because the mushrooms have already stopped the destruction. Now rebuilding can actually keep up.
Boswellia Serrata Extract - Clinically proven to reduce inflammation and pain. While mushrooms stop MMPs, Boswellia calms the inflammatory environment in the joint itself.
Marine & Bovine Collagen Peptides - These are the literal building blocks for cartilage, ligaments, and joint tissue. Once mushrooms stop the breakdown, collagen provides the raw materials your pet's body needs to rebuild healthy joints.
Think of it like this:
- Mushrooms plug the hole in the bucket (stop MMP destruction).
- Omega-3s and Boswellia reduce the pressure (calm inflammation).
- Collagen and Green Lipped Mussels fill the bucket (provide rebuilding materials).
Every ingredient has a specific job. Together, they create complete joint support.
But, Why Did a Professional Chef Create This Formula?
Co-owner, Woof Creek formulator, and professional chef, Chef Scot Hill learned something most people don't know about mushrooms.
The quality, sourcing, and preparation method completely changes their potency.
In cooking, we know that shiitake mushrooms from a grocery store don't compare to properly dried, aged shiitakes from a quality supplier.
The compounds are more concentrated. The flavor is richer. The benefits are real.
The same is true for medicinal mushrooms.
Most pet supplement companies treat mushrooms like any other ingredient.
They buy the cheapest source. They don't test potency.
They use mycelium instead of fruiting bodies because it's cheaper to produce.
But when Chef Scot Hill formulated Woof Creek Hip + Joint Support, he applied what he learned in 20 years of sourcing premium ingredients.
Because Source matters. Quality matters. Concentration matters.
That's why every batch uses only concentrated fruiting body extracts. Never mycelium or grain fillers.
And it's why he combined the mushroom blend with four other premium ingredients that work together like a perfectly balanced recipe.
Other Pet Parents Have Already Given Their Dogs and Cats Relief From Joint Pain…
"Hi, I just wanted to tell you how happy and satisfied I am with the hip and joint support. My baby was not getting around too well. We were always having to pick her up and walk her outside and then we started giving it to her within a month. She has been active. She gets up on her own. She walked outside. I am so pleased with all their products. Thank you again for taking care of my fur baby"
~ Joanie
"We were told our 5 year old Aussie had joint issues and the vet wanted to put her on prescriptions. She limped after walks and I didn't want her on a drug with all the side effects so I started researching. I found this and she's now been on it about 6 weeks and she literally runs on her walks now. I'm sold on this and will continue to use it for her. I highly recommend it!"
~ Connicanaday
"I’m a vet tech and have worked at multiple rescues and shelters. I have an 11 year old chocolate lab, named Twix, and he’s been doing really well on the hip + joint support topper. I have stairs to my house and he was flying up the stairs this morning!"
~ Bailey A.
Your Pet No Longer Suffers in Silence
Your furry baby can finally play again.
You look into their eyes. And instead of seeing pain, you see joy.
You're finally doing right by them.
While others feel helpless watching their pet in pain, trying everything with no results, you're confident knowing your pet is getting real relief.
Because you're stopping the hidden enzyme that's been destroying their joints.
That's the power of functional mushrooms for hip and joint support.
For dog parents: You can take that weekend hike that was unimaginable a month ago.
You walk in the door after work. And your dog actually races to greet you.
Their paws scramble on the hardwood floor. Their tail whips back and forth like a helicopter blade.
You throw their favorite toy. And they bring it back. Again. And again. Like they used to.
For cat parents: Your cat jumps onto the bed again. Effortlessly. No hesitation.
They chase the laser pointer across the room instead of just watching it.
They curl up in that cat tower they haven't been able to reach in months.
You hear them playing with their toys at 3am. And instead of being annoyed, you smile. Because your cat is acting like a cat again.
"This product really seems to be helping my sweet pups. They are over 14 years old and really slowing down. I also love that I can order a refill and keep the tin and scoop I originally received."
~ Laura L.
"My 10 year old 66 lb. Golden Retriever has been on Hip & Joint Support for several years now. I mix it in with his dinner and he eats it just fine. His joint issues have been pretty stable. Before starting this he was bunny hopping up the stairs and he walks upstairs normally now. "
~ Bonnie J.
"I started giving my dog this joint care meal topper simply out of precaution and as a sort of preventative measure. She's a 5 y.o. Mastiff and her breed is prone to joint issues, especially later in life, so I figured I'd start trying things to keep her as puppy like for as long as possible. Pretty much as soon as I started giving her this magic powder, I started to see the difference. Whereas before she would be a pretty lazy dog laying around and sleeping most of the day, now she's as playful as a young pup and just wants to play. It seems like any stiffness or pain that had started to creep it's way into her bones is gone and she is free to run around, play, and be the cheerful happy dog that everyone wants in their furry family members. I can't recommend this enough to anyone that wants to bring that puppy like energy back into their aging pup."
