Ingredients come first
Every single ingredient in the tub is added with one purpose: To protect your dog's heart before the damage becomes irreversible. 9 active ingredients targeting every layer of the MMVD cascade — inflammation, valve breakdown, energy loss, and oxidative stress. Each one in its most bioavailable form. Unlike single-ingredient heart supplements that only address one piece of the puzzle.
What's inside Cardiac Shield
-
Taurine (500mg)- The #1 cardiac amino acid. Regulates the RAAS system that drives heart enlargement.
-
Green Lipped Mussel - Blocks both COX-2 and 5-LOX inflammation pathways. 2.96x reduction in arrhythmia risk.
-
Magnesium Glycinate - Anti-arrhythmic. ATP cofactor that keeps the heart's electrical rhythm stable.
-
Fish Oil - Produces SPMs that actively resolve cardiac inflammation. Triglyceride form, not cheap ethyl ester.
-
L-Carnitine - Transports fatty acids into heart mitochondria. Failing hearts lose this ability first.
-
CoQ10 Ubiquinol - Breaks the oxidative stress loop. Reduced troponin I in 71% of CHF dogs. The active form, not cheap ubiquinone.
-
Vitamin E - Last line of antioxidant defense against ROS damage to heart tissue
MMVD sucks, we don't
Why Cardiac Shield is incredibly powerful
1. THE PURINA STUDY THAT STARTED IT ALL
In 2020, Purina and veterinary cardiologist Dr. Li published a 6-month blinded clinical trial on dogs with Stage B1 MMVD a heart murmur, but no enlargement yet. The supplement group: zero dogs progressed. Their hearts didn't enlarge. 30% actually improved valve function. The control group? Their hearts kept getting bigger. This study is the foundation Cardiac Shield is built on.
2. 9 INGREDIENTS. 6 ROOT CAUSE LAYERS
MMVD doesn't have one cause. It's a cascade, inflammation triggers valve damage, which activates the RAAS system, which starves the heart of energy, which overwhelms its antioxidant defenses. Single-ingredient supplements address one layer and hope for the best. Cardiac Shield targets all six. Every ingredient has a specific job in the cascade. Nothing is there by accident.
3. SAFE WITH VETMEDIN — NO HAWTHORN
This is the question every cardiologist asks first. Hawthorn berry, found in most heart supplements, interferes with Vetmedin (pimobendan), the #1 prescribed heart medication. Cardiac Shield contains zero hawthorn. It was formulated specifically to work alongside your cardiologist's protocol, not against it.
Why Paw Parents dogs see results faster
Scoop - sprinkle - done
Simple, 30-second ritual
So easy even your dog will remind you
USED BY 8,000+ DOG OWNERS WITH AMAZING RESULTS
POWDER - EVERY MORNING
Sprinkle the powder on your dog's food every morning. One scoop for dogs under 35 lbs, two scoops for larger dogs. The powder is tasteless - most dogs don't even notice it. Mix it into wet food or sprinkle on kibble.
CONSISTENCY - DAILY USE
Use it daily for best results. The Green Lipped Mussel builds up in your dog's system over 2-4 weeks. Don't skip days during the initial period. After 4 weeks, you can reduce to every other day for maintenance.
NO OTHER SUPPLEMENTS NEEDED
Don't waste money on other supplements. The Paw Parents powder contains everything your dog needs - Omega-3s, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and GAGs. Adding more supplements won't speed up results and may upset your dog's stomach.
The Science
Pubmed has over 200+ studies about Green Lipped Mussel for IVDD. It has been used in traditional medicine for 100s of years. Some results from 3rd party studies:

I was skeptical at first, but after just 2 weeks I noticed Rosie was greeting me at the door again. By week 4, she was walking around the house like she used to. By week 6, she jumped on the couch for the first time in months. I wish I had found this sooner.

I was so skeptical because we tried everything for our dachshund. Glucosamine chews did nothing. This is the first thing that actually worked to get her walking again.

My 3 year old Frenchie was struggling to get up in the mornings. Started this 3 weeks ago and yesterday he ran to the door when the mailman came. Haven't seen him do that in over a year. Keeping an good eye on him to make sure he doesn't get to active haha!
Carol Ann Davis
Just ordered my 3rd jar. My vet noticed the difference before I even told her what I was giving him. She asked what changed because his mobility improved so much. That says everything
Debbie Wilson
My sweet girl is 14 and I thought her slowing down was just age. Tried this because my neighbor recommended it for her dog. 2 weeks in and she's back to following me around the house again. I got my shadow back

We're about 2 weeks in and I'm already seeing him get up easier in the mornings. He used to just lay there until I helped him. Now he's up on his own. Cautiously optimistic but this is more progress than we saw with the chews after 2 months.
Michael Harrison
Ollie has had two IVDD episodes and after the second one I was terrified of a third. Three weeks into this and he walked up the stairs on his own for the first time in months. I stood there and just cried. Not making any big claims yet but that moment was everything.
Dana Rummery
My dachshund Pepper was dragging her back legs after her last flare up. We did the full crate rest protocol and added this at week two. By week four she was walking on her own again. Not perfect and she still has bad days but the difference from where she was is night and day. Wish I had known about this after her first episode.
Catlyn Johnson
My Corgi is only three and the vet told me he is already at high risk because of his build. No episode yet but I started this as a preventative measure two months ago. He is more fluid when he moves and the stiffness he had after long walks is basically gone. Hopefully we never need surgery but at least I feel like I am actually doing something about it now.

Three weeks in. He jumped on the couch on his own yesterday. First time in months. That's all I needed to see.

How The Paw Parent Performs Miracles
We searched the world for one ingredient that actually works. We found it in New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, where ice-cold waters and untouched coastline produce the world's most potent Green Lipped Mussels. Just nature's most powerful spine support.
ETA Omega-3
The rarest omega-3 on the planet.
Found almost nowhere else in nature, only in Green Lipped Mussels from New Zealand's pristine Marlborough Sounds. It works like prescription anti-inflammatories, but without touching your dog's liver, kidneys, or gut. The results speak for themselves:
- 83% of dogs showed improved mobility
- Zero reported side effects
- 2-3 weeks to visible results
Tested Head-to-Head
You've probably tried glucosamine before.
Most dog owners have. In 2023, researchers finally put it to the test, double-blind, placebo-controlled, head-to-head against Green Lipped Mussel. GLM showed significant improvement at 4 and 6 weeks. Glucosamine? No better than a sugar pill.
Same Dose. Different Results.
Same Dose. Different Results.
But when researchers compared them side by side, dogs on Green Lipped Mussel saw their inflamation scores drop by 42-75%. Dogs on fish oil? Just 31%. The difference is how they're absorbed — GLM contains omega-3s in phospholipid form, ready for your dog's body to use immediately.
Measured. Documented. Proven
This isn't marketing. It's peer-reviewed science.
83% of dogs showed real, measurable improvement in just 6 weeks. Over a third improved by 50% or more. Less limping. Less stiffness. More playing. More walks. And the improvements kept going after the study ended.

"If we don't help you, we don't want your money!"
If our formula doesn't help your dog move easier within 90 days of daily use, we don't want your money. We know that our solution is extremely effective. But we also know that it's not going to work for every dog and their owner.

Couldn't get up the stairs without help for months. Three weeks in and she walked up on her own this morning. I stood there and couldn't hold back tears. Don't want to jinx it but I haven't seen that in so long.

Vet told me Gus is high risk because of how active he is. No episode yet but started this two months ago as prevention. The stiffness he had after long walks is basically gone. At least I feel like I am actually doing something about it now.
