Crustaceans in dog food

Crustaceans (shrimps, crabs etc) are the most popular source of the joint supplement glucosamine due to the very high concentration found in their shells. They are sometimes added directly to dog foods, in which case they are labelled simply as 'crustaceans' or the glucosamine can be extracted through hydrolysis in which case it will appear on the label as 'glucosamine', 'glucosamine sulphate' or 'hydrolysed crustaceans'.
