Why we use Antinol® Joint Care Pro for our agility dogs—and recommend it to our students

At Into Shape Agility, we understand that agility is a demanding, high-impact sport. Our dogs are athletes, and like any athlete, they need support to stay in peak condition—mentally and physically. That’s why Antinol® Joint Care Pro is a daily staple for our dogs and why we always recommend it to our students.

If you’ve attended one of our camps or training days, you might have heard us mention it, or seen banners around the ring. Here’s a deeper look at why we use it—and the proactive steps we take to keep our dogs healthy, strong, and agile for the long term.

Supporting long-term health and performance

Agility is fast-paced and physically intense. Our dogs twist, turn, sprint, and jump—often at speed, over and over again. Even with structured training, proper warm-ups, and recovery, this can place stress on their joints.

That’s why we take a multi-layered approach to keeping them fit and healthy, including:

Feeding a balanced, performance-focused diet (Natural Instinct)
Scheduling regular physio and/or hydrotherapy sessions.
Working with a canine nutritionist to tailor seasonal support.
Prioritising rest and active recovery days.
Including structured strength and conditioning work.
Always warming up and cooling down properly.
Supplementing with Antinol daily (increasing around competitions).
What is Antinol® Joint Care Pro?

Antinol is a 100% natural joint supplement, containing a unique, concentrated, and sustainably sourced green-lipped mussel extract. It supports dogs’ natural anti-inflammatory processes and helps maintain joint health and mobility.

Unlike some powder-based supplements, Antinol is easy to feed, with no fillers or unnecessary ingredients—just pure, potent joint support backed by 25+ years of research.

Real results from our own dogs

We started using Antinol after hearing positive reviews from respected canine nutritionists, trainers and our vet. We were hearing about it all over the place, and Naarah did a ton of research—it was open on her phone for ages! When we tried it, we were really impressed, we’ve seen the results for ourselves—especially in Sassy and Lemon! (Lemon is even the Antinol cover-girl now!)

When we’ve been competing, they bounce back quickly, stay focused during training and competitions, and their consistency and enthusiasm speak volumes. Our older dogs are happy, mobile and still able to do some training or join us on family walks.

We’re also really proud to be an official Antinol Athlete—a UK-wide community of canine sports professionals who trust Antinol to support their athletes.

Start early with joint health support

Many people think joint supplements are only for older dogs, but we recommend introducing Antinol early, especially if your dog is training or competing regularly. Maintaining their joints proactively can support their long-term mobility and even their performance.

Think of Antinol as part of your complete agility training plan—just like conditioning, warm-ups, and professional support.
