Joint Supplements for Young Dogs

Just like adult and senior dogs, it’s important to consider a joint supplement for your young dog or puppy. By introducing joint supplements into your pet’s health regime early on in their life, you can relax knowing you’re proactively supporting their joint health as they grow.

Dogs can start taking a suitable joint supplement as soon as they’re able to eat solid food – typically around eight weeks old. Starting early is a great idea because supplements can help support your pup's growing joints and stand them in good stead for the future.

Although it can be tempting to play with your new puppy for hours on end, it’s important not to overdo it. Sticking to a suitable diet and exercise regime is a great way to support your pup’s growing joints, and your vet will be able to advise you on what’s best for them. Additionally, a supplement that includes high quality Green Lipped Mussel, Glucosamine and Manganese, such as YuMOVE Joint Care for Young Dogs, is a great choice because, together, these ingredients help to support healthy joints, cartilage, tendons and ligaments.

The best advice here is to follow the feeding guidelines on the pack because the number of tablets will depend on your dog’s size. If your dog is new to YuMOVE Joint Care, you should also double up the daily recommended amount for the first 4 – 6 weeks, as this helps the active ingredients in our supplements get to work more quickly. When you first
subscribe to YuMOVE you’ll be sent a FREE Daily Double pack to cover this important period.
