YuMOVE Joint Care Daily Bites for Senior Dogs

Stiffness in an old dog rarely announces itself as a limp. It shows up as a decision: the stairs get thought about, the sofa gets looked at rather than jumped on, and the walk gets shorter by one street at a time without anybody choosing that it should.

These are chewable bites rather than a tablet or a powder, 60 to a pack, for dogs YuMOVE class as senior. The formula is built on YuMOVE's own ActivEase Green Lipped Mussel, which they say carries higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids than standard green lipped mussel powders, and on their particular form of Hyaluronic Acid, which YuMOVE say reaches a dog's joints within 2 hours. YuMOVE describe the job as three things at once - soothing stiff joints, supporting joint structure and helping mobility. It is the same product that used to be sold as YuMOVE Senior Bites, under a new name.

• 60 bites per pack
• For older dogs, or dogs needing extra joint support
• Built on YuMOVE's ActivEase Green Lipped Mussel
• Contains YuMOVE's form of Hyaluronic Acid
• Previously sold as YuMOVE Senior Bites
• A chew rather than a tablet or a powder

No ingredient list and no daily amount have been supplied to us. the listing's entry for this pack carries neither the full composition nor the feeding guide, so we cannot tell you how many bites a day your dog is meant to have, or how much of anything sits in one - which also means nobody can work out how long a pack lasts from this page. Both are printed on the tub, so read it before the first one goes in. The wider point matters more: a joint supplement is not a painkiller and it is not a diagnosis. A dog that has stiffened up quickly, is lame on one leg or yelps getting out of bed needs a vet, not a supplement.

Who it's for: owners of an older dog who have already had the joints conversation with their vet and want the daily part of it to be something the dog will take without an argument.
