MSM for small animals (dogs, cats, chickens and guinea pigs)

MSM for Dogs: What You Need to Know

You may have heard your vet recommend MSM supplements alongside common joint support ingredients like glucosamine and chondroitin, but most people don’t actually know what MSM stands for. Let’s break it down.

What is MSM?

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring form of sulfur that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy joints, skin, and overall well-being. It starts as a gas released from plankton in the ocean, eventually making its way through the water cycle and falling as rain. This rain nourishes plants, which animals then consume—making MSM a part of all living things. Because this natural process takes time, most MSM supplements today are produced synthetically to provide a reliable source.

How Can MSM Help Your Dog?

If your dog is aging, struggling with arthritis, skin issues, autoimmune conditions, digestive problems, or general discomfort, MSM can provide relief. It works by reducing pressure in cells, improving nutrient absorption, flushing out toxins, and lowering inflammation—helping your dog feel better in multiple ways.

Here’s a closer look at the key benefits of MSM for dogs:

1. MSM is a Powerful Antioxidant

Free radicals contribute to aging and disease by damaging cells and DNA. MSM contains antioxidants that bind to these harmful molecules and help remove them from the body. Unlike many other supplements, MSM is especially effective at crossing the blood-brain barrier, making it a great option for dogs with neurological conditions.

2. MSM Supports Natural Detoxification

MSM helps flush toxins from cells, promoting better overall function. By clearing out harmful substances, MSM allows fresh nutrients to enter, leading to improved health and reduced risk of disease.

3. MSM is a Natural Pain Reliever

One of MSM’s biggest benefits is its ability to reduce pain. It helps fluids pass more easily through tissues and blocks pain signals from nerves. It also stimulates the production of cortisol, the body’s natural anti-inflammatory hormone, offering relief without the need for harsh medications.

4. MSM Enhances the Effects of Other Supplements

Once MSM removes harmful toxins from the body, essential vitamins and minerals like A, B, C, D, E, magnesium, and calcium can be better absorbed. This means your dog will get even more benefits from their daily supplements.

Is MSM Right for Your Dog?

While MSM offers incredible benefits, it’s not for every dog. Some dogs may experience mild intolerance, with symptoms like shortness of breath, congestion, skin irritation, or fatigue. If your dog is on a fully raw diet, they may already be getting natural MSM from fresh plant and animal sources. However, MSM is lost when food is cooked, so dogs on kibble-based diets may benefit significantly from supplementation.

If you’re unsure whether MSM is right for your dog, consult your vet for guidance.

Trial bundle

Love the trial pack. So many products and all of them feel lovely on my skin. Thank you so much 😊

Excellent results, wish it wasn’t in a big plastic container

Definitely noticed a difference in my joints. I wish it was in a recyclable soft pouch, rather than a big plastic jar, but I do find a use for some of them.

DOES THE JOB

Excellent pure magnesium , tastes aweful but does the job and a little goes a long way.

Microfibre Face Cleansers are so effective

I previously used MISMO natural cleansing milk with a muslin face cloth that was slightly abrasive. When following up with the white microfibre face cleanser I noticed that it was tinted with residual makeup so obviously providing a more thorough clean. Now I just use that and know my face is thoroughly cleansed. Very happy!
