Does Your Younger Dog Need Joint Support Too?

Many people first discover YuMOVE when they have an older dog who’s starting to slow down and show signs of joint concerns.

But you might be surprised to hear that younger dogs can also benefit from extra joint support.

It’s true that younger dogs often have more of a spring in their step than older dogs. When your dog is young, their joints are typically supported by strong cartilage and healthy joint fluid.

This means they’re usually able to leap for a ball, hop into the back of a car or bound up the stairs with ease.

Help them bounce back

While your younger dog may naturally have well-cushioned joints, they’re often full of energy, leading to more running, jumping and active play. All of this extra movement can sometimes place additional load on their joints.

That’s why it’s important to think about giving your pup’s joints some added support – helping them stay active and keep enjoying life to the fullest.

Your one-year-old’s all grown up

Another factor to consider is that your dog might be older than you think. We’re all used to hearing that one dog year equals seven human years – but in reality, dogs age at different rates depending on their size and breed.

So while your dog might still seem like a sprightly, playful pup, their joints could benefit from extra support much earlier than you’d expect.

How much exercise does your puppy need?

When you welcome a new puppy into your home, it’s natural to want to take them out exploring as much as possible. But too much exercise early on can put extra pressure on their growing joints. Every puppy is different, so it’s important to find the right balance for their breed, age and size. If you’re looking for extra guidance, our Dog Exercise Calculator can help you work out a plan that’s right for your pup.
