Info: Extra Strength, in a Choice of Powder or Chewable Tablets
Pet Recovery has two main mechanisms of action to reduce inflammation in pets: as a powerful antioxidant, and as cell repairer.
Product Notes:
Whole Body Health & Joint Function
Recovery's antioxidant properties work to neutralize the free radicals which can contribute to many diseases and debilitating conditions, while its cell repairing constituents stabilize cell membranes, heal existing damage, and help prevent further damage (by preventing histamine or other substances which can cause pain and inflammation from being released from leaky cell walls).
Purica's Recovery for Pets can help cats, dogs, ferrets, hamsters or guinea pigs; birds; or even reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
Pets are just like people in being susceptible to aging processes and injuries (including surgeries) which can benefit from nutraceuticals designed to reduce pain and inflammation and boost circulation and the production of synovial fluids to lubricate the joints. Purica's flagship product, Recovery, was designed to do just that, first for horses (the EQ or Equine version) and then for people (see The Purica Story here). Recovery SA or Pet Recovery is virtually the same formulation for Small Animals, except for slight differences in the relative quantities of some ingredients.
Extra Strength: Purica Pet Recovery formerly came in two strengths, with the only difference being the inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid in the Extra Strength versions. The other types have been discontinued as of 2025.
These products were previously marketed as 'Purica Recovery SA' (for Small Animals). Note on reformulation: This product was reformulated in 2025 to ensure it is caffeine-free (there was green tea in the original formulations). The new powdered form now contains the natural anti-inflammatory agent boswellia.

Conditions Pet Recovery Can Help With:
Aging: by decreasing lactic acid levels and cell/tissue damage and breakdown associated with age-related conditions, maintaining optimum tissue hydration, and increasing cell receptivity to hormones and cell repair, and improving breathing and circulation.
Arthritis, Hip Dysplasia, Osteochondrosis (OCD: when loose pieces or flaps of cartilage develop and may break off and clog joint spaces) and Wound Healing & Surgery: by increasing the circulation of nutrients to the affected cells and extracellular structures, halting tissue damage and modulating inflammation, to improve healing.
Benefits can include: improve flexibility; healing; playfulness; breathing; and strength and sheen of the fur/coat.

Suggested Usage:
For the Chewable Tablets: Give one tablet per every 20 pounds of the animal's body weight, either once or twice daily, mixed with food, or as directed by your licensed animal health provider.
(E.g., half a tablet per pose for animals weighing under 10 lb; 1 tablet for those weighing 11 to 20 lb; 2 tablets if they weigh 21-40 lbs, to a maximum of 5 tablets per dose for animals weighing between 81 and 250 lbs.)
For the Powder: Introduce gradually over a two week period, from 1/4 teaspoon a day per 20 pounds of the pet's body weight to start with, up to a concentrated dose of 1/2 teaspoon per 20 pounds of body weight (so, up to two teaspoons a day for an 80 pound dog, e.g.), or as directed by your veterinarian.
Introduce it gradually over a two week period, starting at the lower dose (1/4 tsp per each 20 pounds of the pet's weight). Mix with food.
After 30 to 60 days, you may be able to reduce the intake of the powder back down to half the full dose amounts stated above.
Do not use in pregnant or lactating animals. Store bottles at room temperature (15 to 30C), out of the reach of children, and protected from moisture.
