Do you have any regrets in life?
I ask because after more than 35 years as a veterinarian, I’ve learned a powerful lesson: most regrets don’t come from what we did — they come from what we didn’t do soon enough.
And nowhere did I see this more clearly than in the exam room, sitting across from people who loved their dogs deeply.
In these situations, the dog was very sick… or didn’t make it… and their guardian would be agonizing over the fact that they’d neglected prevention until a crisis hit.
These were good, caring pet parents.
So why had so many delayed simple preventive steps, like feeding a healthy diet or supporting their dog with the right health-supporting supplements for joint and mobility health?
I believe one reason is that we hate the thought of our beloved dogs getting seriously ill and losing them.
Also, we’re not wired for future planning.
Why Prevention Is Hard — Even for Caring Pet Parents
When you think, “If I do X now — or don’t do X now — what happens later?” that’s a part of your brain called the prefrontal cortex at work.
It’s responsible for planning, foresight, and weighing long-term consequences.
But here’s the catch.
The prefrontal cortex is the new kid on the block in human evolution. It evolved much later than the brain regions that keep us alive today.
For most of human history, survival didn’t depend on planning ten years from now. It depended on avoiding the present danger, finding food, and reacting quickly.
Those older brain systems are fast, emotional, and very dominant.
The prefrontal cortex, on the other hand, is slower — and easily overpowered, especially when our life is busy, stressful, or emotionally charged.
That’s why it’s genuinely hard to imagine future problems, like dog joint health decline or inflammation in dogs, before they show up.
It’s not that people are careless or irresponsible. It’s that the part of our brain that says, “Let’s prevent this before it becomes a crisis,” gets overpowered by the part that says, “Everything seems fine right now, no need to worry about the future.”
We’ve all done that at some point in our lives.
And unfortunately, when the future finally arrives… it comes with the consequences of decisions we did or didn’t make. That’s when regret shows up.
The Path of Least Regret
This is why I go by and often speak about the path of least regret.
It doesn’t mean bad things will never happen. That’s not how life works.
Dogs get injured or become sick. Some things are simply out of our control.
But the path of least regret does mean this:
You make thoughtful, proactive choices today — so that no matter what happens tomorrow, you can look back and say, “I did my best.”
One of the biggest places I see regret show up is around mobility problems and joint health in dogs.
Understanding Dog Joint Health and Mobility Issues
Mobility problems rarely happen overnight.
They build over time as injuries and inflammation in dogs accumulate, cartilage weakens, tendons lose resilience, and muscles get fatigued and tight. Until one day, a dog can’t get up the stairs or go for walks because they’re too weak or in pain.
That’s why canine mobility support and arthritis prevention is such an important part of the path of least regret — no matter the age or stage of a dog’s life.
As a veterinarian, I felt a responsibility not just to treat mobility problems when they appeared, but to help prevent joint problems in dogs from developing in the first place.
A Natural Approach to Preventive Canine Mobility Support
That’s why I spent more than 5 years combining science and clinical experience to create JointPowder.
JointPowder is the world’s first naturally fermented joint and mobility formula designed to support your dog’s joints, tendons, bones, and connective tissue before problems become painful — and to help aging or injured dogs to heal, stay active, comfortable, and strong.
It combines 13 meticulously selected and science-based ingredients — including turmeric, green-lipped mussel, boswellia, MSM, quercetin, and rutin — all chosen for their proven roles in reducing inflammation, lubricating joints, restoring cartilage health, and strengthening muscles and connective tissue.
Unlike the conventional NSAID painkillers and steroids that suppress healing and often damage the gut, kidneys and liver, JointPowder supports healthy healing and restoration of joints and tissue without side effects.
The Power of Fermentation for Better Absorption
What also makes JointPowder different is our two-stage fermentation process, which helps to pre-digest these ingredients to increase bioavailability and absorption.
Fermentation also leads to the formation of postbiotics – anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and body supporting compounds that further enhance the benefits.
There’s nothing else quite like it.
I created JointPowder for dogs like Pax… and for guardians like you — who want more walks, more play, and many more happy moments together.
I formulated this product so you and I can follow the path of least regret.
I don’t want to feel like we didn’t do enough to keep our dogs happy, mobile and pain-free.
