KnuGroup is your Pet’s choice!
KnuGroup is a group of supplements disguised as yummy treats for dogs and cats. The KnuGroup products were formulated to be a rich source of Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids, which prevents inflammation among other things. Dr. Richard K. Baird, VMD is a small animal veterinarian who started experimenting with the use of O3EFAs in 1988. Through clinical observations, not through lab research Dr. Baird with the help of Dr. Ray Heinicke, respected biochemist and pet nutritionist developed the KnuGroup products.
All KnuGroup products follow the same three principles: 100% All Natural Ingredients, Veterinarian Approved, and Made in the USA
The KnuGroup products are All-Natural Daily Pet Supplements that
Promote Healthy Joints, Inflammation reduction, and Pain management
It is universally believed by veterinary nutritionists that pets receive plenty of O6s in their normal daily diets. Therefore, as the first commandant, any meaningful supplement must contain not only more O3s than O6s, but also must contain a clinically significant amount of O3s. O3s always sufficiently outnumber the amounts of O6s in both KnuBar and KnuBoost Bar. The continued demand of pet owners for both KnuBar and KnuBoost Bar administered under the direction of their veterinarian continually reaffirms the success of KnuBar and KnuBoost Bar in the clinical veterinary medical environment.

KnuBar™ was originally invented as a healthy treat to help Dr. Baird’s patents with seasonal allergies. Through clinical studies, Dr. Baird found overwhelming success using this product to help relieve symptoms of not only allergies, but also joint pain, mobility, skin, and coat issues in dogs and cats. The secret is all in the ingredients: Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Zinc.
- Omega 3 Fatty Acids have been proven to support the health of the skin, coat, joints, kidneys, heart and immune system of dogs and cats.
- Zinc deficiencies in your pet can lead to Zinc-Responsive Dermatosis, an issue which can cause dermatology issues like dry skin and dark circles around the eyes.
KnuBoost™ Bar was created through several reformulations of KnuBar™ from the clinical studies run by Dr. Baird. KnuBoost™ Bar contains all of the same healthy ingredients that your pets love from KnuBar™, with the added strength of high-grade glucosamine. This treat is also a supplement that will give your pet the nutrients they need for healthy joints and mobility. The secret is all in the added glucosamine.
- Glucosamine production begins to slow as your pet ages. As a result, the natural repair process in the body slows, eventually leading to joint pain and stiffness. Added glucosamine to your pet’s diet will aid them in a quicker recovery time for their joints

KnuLease™ is the only pet supplement for joint pain on the market that is created from 100% BiovaFlex®. This water-soluble egg membrane is designed by nature to protect the incubating chick and supply the nutrients needed for healthy development. These same nutrients makeup 100% of the ingredients in KnuLease™, in the same ratios that nature intended. These ingredients are proven to support joint health and increased mobility.
- Collagen – protein located in muscles and tissues that act as the glue holding everything together. Collagen production begins to slow with age.
- Elastin – located in the cardiovascular system, cartilage, and spinal column; Elastin allows muscular tissue to stretch and resume its shape.
- Desmosine & Isodesmosine – two unique amino acids that aid in elastin’s flexibility and resiliency, while also stimulating collagen production
- Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) – similar to collagen in that they act as the structure holding critical tissues together.
- Transforming Growth Factor Proteins – these proteins aid your pet’s joints and muscles with recovery
Omega 3 Fatty Acids are an essential part of your dog’s diet because like humans, dogs cannot produce Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Omega 6s and 3s are both susceptible to damage from heat and when it is added to food it often gets destroyed during a kibbling process. During production, KnuBar™ is precisely monitored and the Omega 3 Fatty Acids are added at the optimal time to ensure they retain the highest possible quality. The best part about it is that the amounts of Omega 3 Fatty Acids in KnuBar™ products are approximately 10 times the amount that any other manufacturer has produced to date!
KnuBar™ is a daily nutraceutical supplement disguised as a treat. KnuBar™ provides the missing nutrients that can be used to help manage the pain caused by many disorders. If your dog presents any of these conditions, KnuBar™ can help:
Swollen Joints
Licking of the joint area
Unwillingness to walk, jump, or climb stairs, Lameness
Difficulty when rising from a resting position
Popping and cracking when the joint moves
Through clinical studies, Dr. Baird found that KnuBar was not only helping to alleviate allergy symptoms, but also led to greater mobility and a decreased need for pain management. This discovery led him to begin using KnuBar’s high-quality Omega 3 Fatty Acids to help his patients’ issues with mobility and joint pain. Through these tests, Dr. Richard Baird has become confident in the benefits that come from the premium grade of Omega 3 Fatty Acids that KnuBar™ offers. He is so confident in fact, that he dispenses this product to his patients every single day through his veterinary practice.

Glucosamine, When Glucosamine is paired with the compound chondrite which is naturally present in your pet’s cartilage, begins to repair damaged cartilage, Glucosamine is also naturally present in your pet’s cartilage, however, the production slows as your pet ages. The added glucosamine in KnuBoost™ Bars will allow your pet to have a much quicker recovery time for their joints over the introduction of just Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Omega 3s are an essential part of your pet’s diet because like humans, pets cannot produce Omega 3 fatty acids.

Still Have Questions?
Pain Management
Pain management not only treats what can be readily observed… but it is a known fact that low-grade pain significantly increases oxidative stress, and oxidative stress compounds the clinical effects of diseases and illnesses. Ultimately, oxidative stress can even kill patients!
Kidney Disease: Are O3EFAS Helpful?
O3EFA’s also fight the progression of physical devastation of the patient’s muscle mass. In almost all cases supplementation with O3EFAs make pets with renal disease feel better, move better, retain muscle mass better, act less in pain and remain more interactive with the family.
Why use pet health supplements?
KnuGroup products are unique compared to other Omega fatty acid supplements because instead of providing Omega 3s and 6s, KnuGroup products only contain Omega 3s. When both Omega 3s and 6s are provided it does not sway the ratio at all.
What are KnuGroup Products?
What makes KnuGroup products special or unique?
Purity is another important aspect of KnuGroup products. The original intent for the hen’s eggshell membrane is to supply all of the ingredients of KnuBar, plus calcium for developing bones to the un-hatched baby chick. While calcium may be great for bones, its residual presence in KnuBar would only dilute the active ingredients involved with enhancing joint health. So, when we speak of “purity” we are referencing that the calcium has been 94% removed from our sourced eggshell membrane powder resulting in purity that mg for mg contains maximum active ingredients for maintaining joint health.
Finally, all eggshell membrane-containing products contain some glycosaminoglycans that are concentrated by an extraction process. As previously stated, KnuGroup products do not undergo any extraction process that damages the native ingredients; therefore the active ingredients found in KnuGroup products are delivered as they occur naturally and are immediately ready to work — which translates into excellent bioavailability.
What are the benefits of eggshell membrane powder?
The excitement at KnuGroup (the parent company of KnuBar) is driven by the results of the clinical trial done on dogs by Dr. Richard Baird, a practicing veterinarian who runs a Pain Management Program in his Uniontown PA veterinary practice. Dr. Baird was certain that a clinical trial using dogs in a real veterinary practice environment would demonstrate the efficacy of KnuBar in real life by real patients closer to the truth than some group of laboratory animals.
Dr. Baird states: “Animals do not lie and they are not subject to the placebo affect! Therefore, when testing the efficacy of a product relative to increasing joint flexibility and patient mobility, no group of subjects produce an answer closer to the truth than actual patients in a veterinary practice environment. My conclusion from the clinical trial is that KnuBar relieves pain faster and more completely than any other supplement on the market including all the usual suspects as well as the exotics like reindeer antlers, shark fin, algae, crustaceans, etc.”
