[UPDATED APRIL 2024]
Our dogs are part of the family, so we look after them in the same way we look after our babies, teenagers, parents and ourselves. And, just like us, their health needs change as they go through life. They may need extra support to recover from exercise or to see them through the ageing process — which is a much faster process for dogs than it is for us.
Because you care about your dog’s wellbeing and happiness, you may choose to feed them supplements to increase the levels of helpful ingredients in their diet and give them a bit of extra support.
At YuMOVE, we offer a complete range of joint supplements so that you can find the right one for your dog, whatever stage of life they’re at. However, so you choose the correct ones for your furry friend and see the biggest difference in their joint health, we’ve created this quick guide to choosing the right joint supplement.
YuMOVE Joint Care for Young Dogs
Perfect for: young dogs and give-it-all-you’ve-got dogs!
YuMOVE Joint Care for Young Dogs can be given as soon as your dog is on solid food – typically around eight weeks old – and is specially formulated with extra antioxidants to help the joints of growing, athletic and super-bouncy younger dogs. Like all our YuMOVE supplements, it contains our ActivEase® Green Lipped Mussel – which undergoes our one-step rapid drying process to help pack in the Omega-3s that help that help to keep those joints as active as your pup.
YuMOVE Joint Care for Adult Dogs and YuMOVE One-A-Day
Perfect for: promoting continued joint health in adult dogs
YuMOVE Joint Care for Adult Dogs is our original formula, proven to support your dog’s mobility in just 6 weeks.* We use ActivEase® Green Lipped Mussel, Glucosamine, Manganese and Vitamins C & E which work together to support joint health. Giving this joint supplement daily – either in the standard tasty tablet format or as YuMOVE One A Day – helps to soothe stiff joints and aid mobility as your dog gets older.
YuMOVE Joint Care for Working Dogs
Perfect for: dogs with daily working habits
Working dogs tend to put miles on the clock faster than most domestic dogs, which is why we’ve formulated this dedicated version of our joint supplements just for them. YuMOVE Joint Care for Working Dogs is a triple-action joint supplement that you give daily to help soothe stiff joints and aid joint mobility. We’ve also added Beta-Glucans for added digestive support, helping to keep your dog happily on the move day after day.
YuMOVE Joint Care PLUS for Dogs and YuMOVE Joint Care PLUS One-A-Day
Perfect for: senior dogs with signs of stiffness
If you’ve noticed that your best friend is a bit slower on walkies or takes a while to stand up after resting, it could be that they’re experiencing some joint stiffness. If you haven’t given joint supplements before, now is a good time to start, and YuMOVE Joint Care PLUS for Dogs is a great supplement to give. Because this is for dogs who already feel stiff, we’ve added 20% more of our amazing Omega-3-packed ActivEase® Green Lipped Mussel than is found in YuMOVE Joint Care for Adult Dogs. We’ve also included N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine, which provides the major building blocks of cartilage, for extra support in the tough connective tissue that protects the joint.
YuMOVE Joint Care PLUS Max Strength
Perfect for: dogs with stiffer joints who may need extra support
For dogs already using YuMOVE PLUS – and starting to slow down – consider trying YuMOVE Joint Care PLUS Max Strength. It’s powered by YuMOVE’s unique ActivEase® Complex (including GLM) and 20% more fish oil,* which provides a special blend of Omega-3s to deliver a 50% stronger* formula.
YuMOVE ADVANCE 360 and YuMOVE ADVANCE 360 Max Strength for Dogs
Perfect for: dogs under veterinary supervision
Our YuMOVE ADVANCE 360 range has been specially formulated for dogs under veterinary supervision and is often recommended by vets as part of a wider care plan. If you’re worried about your dog’s mobility or stiffness levels, it’s a good idea to take them to your vet for a check-up – whatever life stage they’re at – so that you can find out exactly what’s going on, and put a plan together. Ask your vet about YuMOVE ADVANCE 360 for Dogs – it’s easy and tasty to feed to your dog, and it’s our highest-strength formulation for dogs under veterinary supervision who need the highest level of support for their stiff joints.
