puptons Joint Care Supplement for Dogs | Reduce Stiffness & Improve Mobility with Green Lipped Mussel, MSM & Glucosamine | All Ages of Dogs, Natural Anti-Inflammatory | 30 Tablets

My rescue greyhound has a number of issues, amongst them being joint problems after a racing career. He’s been using YuMove for the last year and it never really made much difference but I continued to use it on the basis that it was probably preventing his joints from getting worse. Recently I made the switch to this product after being recommended it by a friend. After nearly 2 weeks of use the progress has been amazing - he no longer seems so stiff in the mornings and this week has been bounding up and down the beach in Devon - something I haven’t seen him do for a long time and it was a joy to watch. I can only put it down to these tablets and so will to continue to use them instead of YuMove. On a side note I have also been using a probiotic product from this beand which I bought at the same time and which has really helped his digestion too (he’s a nervous dog being a rescue) so that has probably helped his energy levels as well.

When I first opened these, I hated the smell instantly, very 'doggy and meaty' - good job they're not for me really! I got them for my Mums yellow lab, he's getting a bit old now and struggles with arthritis in his hip joints, especially getting down the stairs so will try anything to help ease the pain.He was a but suspicious of these at first and wouldn't eat them, just licked at one and walked away. We tried it in a bit of soft dog food but he still ate round it and left the tablet. The last resort was his favourite treat of sausages - pushed a tablet into the centre of a mini sausage and he ate the whole thing in one go, I don't think it even touched the sides!He's only had 5 of them so far and I think it takes a bit longer to see any major effect, but my Mum said he was running round the park today for a little bit which is something he hasn't done for a while - maybe it is the tablets having an effect.... No scientific evidence for it but if it works for him, we'll keep going with the tablets.

They don’t look very good but my dog loves them . So far seem to work

These are chicken-flavoured pills but that doesn't necessarily mean dogs will wolf them up. My old, arthritic dog swallowed the first when wrapped in food but spat out the next one. He ate the next two which were in his food but wouldn't take his next dose from my hand or in his bowl which meant I had to feed them to him in his food after that. I should note that he can be a fussy boy so these might work with less difficult dogs. That said, the chalky tablets are just under 2cm which might be too big for some dogs, although they can be snapped in half easily. They're not the more manageable small round pills shown on the page.They smell more of fish than chicken, in my opinion, but it's not noticeable unless you lift the pot or pill to your nose to check. I had put two pills in his bowl but my fish-loving dog didn't even sniff them.The ingredients are classic for joint and mobility issues, including glucosamine and chondroitin, green-lipped mussel, MSM, turmeric and curcumin, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and manganese, including from seafood.They seemed to help a little with pain relief and mobility although, realistically, it would take time for them to build up to work properly but I was hoping they'd be easier to take and, with 2 pills needed for dogs like mine who weigh 16-30kg, the pot of 30 pills won't last long. That said, if you usually give liquid pain relief and are going on holiday or just want to have support for your dog when you're out for the day, these might be the answer.As well as treating dogs with existing joint and/or mobility issues, they can also be used as a preventative measure. I was impressed with the ingredients which have a good track record of helping with sore joints.Dogs up to 15kg – 1 tablet16-30kg – 2 tablets31-45kg – 3 tablets45+kg – 4 tablets3* – My dog didn't always eat them, despite being chicken-flavoured, but they seem to have helped offer some support using classic ingredients for joint issues. Not the best value for larger dogs

The powder is easy to apply using the small scoop which is included. My dog loves the chicken taste and there is already a noticeable improvement in the movement of her joints.

My dog loves the tablets and they have eased his stiff legs really well!

We have two very old dogs, they seem healthy and lively for their age but we want to make sure they stay as fit and well as they can for as long as they can. These tablets are a good way of making sure your dog gets help. Three of my dogs love the taste so there is no need to try to hide it in their food etc. Makes life so much easier.

My dog has to have a few medications as he is getting older and has bad arthritis in his back and legs. He is very fussy with getting pills into him. These are on the larger side but ok for my staffy size boy. I wrap in a little piece of ham and he happily eats it.
