YuMOVE Joint Care for All Cats

Cats are good at hiding stiffness until it's fairly advanced, which is why a joint supplement aimed at cats "getting older or beginning to show joint stiffness" is really aimed at a stage most owners haven't noticed yet. YuMOVE pitch this one as something to start before the limp becomes obvious rather than after.

It's a triple-action formula built around YuMOVE's own ActivEase Green Lipped Mussel (GLM), which they say carries higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids than standard GLM powders, alongside Hyaluronic Acid in a form YuMOVE state is proven to reach a cat's joints within 2 hours. The supplement is given by sprinkling it over the cat's usual food rather than as a separate capsule to administer. YuMOVE describe the combined effect as working in three ways: soothing stiff joints, supporting joint structure, and helping mobility.

• Triple-action joint formula for cats
• ActivEase Green Lipped Mussel, described as higher in Omega-3 than standard GLM
• Hyaluronic Acid, stated to reach a cat's joints within 2 hours
• Sprinkled over the cat's food rather than given as a separate dose
• 60-capsule pack
• Aimed at cats getting older or starting to show joint stiffness

On the claims. "Proven to reach joints within 2 hours" and the higher Omega-3 level are YuMOVE's own stated figures - the card doesn't give us the underlying evidence, so we're passing on the manufacturer's claim rather than one we've checked ourselves. As with any joint supplement, a cat that's actually limping or reluctant to jump is worth a vet visit rather than a wait-and-see with any product.

Who it's for: owners of an older cat, or one just starting to slow down or move stiffly, who want a food-sprinkled supplement rather than a pill to force down.
