Joint stiffness in an older dog or cat tends to creep in gradually enough that owners often only notice it in hindsight, once a supplement has already been started and any improvement is hard to separate from wishful thinking.

This is Beaphar's Flexi Joint tablet, sold in a 120-tablet pack and filed in the joint care category for both dogs and cats. Beyond the brand and the tablet count, no ingredient list or per-tablet dosage has been supplied on this listing.

• 120 tablets per pack
• Filed in the dog and cat joint care category
• Brand: Beaphar
• No ingredient list or per-tablet dosage is supplied on this card

what the makers have not told us. There's no glucosamine, chondroitin or other active ingredient level listed for this product, and no daily dosage — for a supplement that's exactly the information you'd want before starting it, so check the pack itself or Beaphar's own guidance, and speak to a vet if your pet is already on other medication.

Who it's for: owners of a dog or cat that a vet has suggested could benefit from a joint supplement, buying on the Beaphar name and tablet count since a fuller ingredient breakdown isn't supplied here.
