YuMOVE Max Strength Joint Supplement for Senior Dogs, Hip & Joint care with Glucosamine, Chondroitin & Green Lipped Mussel, Aged 8+, 240 Tablets

I first started giving these to my dog when he was around 8, after he was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. I noticed a difference fairly quickly: he seemed to have fewer difficulties climbing the stairs and getting up from sitting or lying down.Unfortunately, changes in our finances meant we had to stop buying them after a couple of years. We tried several other brands that claimed to be as good as or better than these, but in our experience none of them came remotely close.We returned to these in more recent years and, once again, I noticed a difference. My dog is now 14 and naturally his joint health has declined considerably with age, but I still feel these make a noticeable difference to his mobility.Another huge positive is that he absolutely loves them. There has never been any difficulty getting him to take one - he happily scoffs it down as though it’s a treat, so the taste and texture clearly get his approval!Obviously I can only speak for my own dog and our experience, but having used these, stopped them, tried alternatives and eventually returned to them, I wouldn’t bother trying another brand again. They’ve been a game changer for him.

My very active Cocker Spaniel who is a young 9 years old, hurt her lower spine when she was 3 or 4 and since then has had a small number of repeat episodes, which have gone with rest.Since I got my two Cocker puppies, 5 months apart, my life has disintegrated and there’s very little money available. I buy them the best food I can afford, better than mine, but since 2017 I cannot afford vet appointments or medications and have had to cancel their insurance, too.I’ve been dreading a serious medical incident and a few weeks ago it came out of the blue! She yelped at something when she was right next to me but I couldn’t figure out why. Then nothing more for a few hours until bedtime when she couldn’t jump up onto my bed, which is high. So I lifted her up.Next morning - she was gently squeaking, very unusually for her, just laying in her bed. My heart sank, I knew it must be serious. As usual, I said ‘come on girls, getting up time’ and my other dog leapt from her bed and onto the floor but T didn’t move! Tried persuading her but nothing worked. In the end I had to convince her to come towards me in her bed and I scooped her up in my arms to carry her outside. Now I have MS and I have no idea how I found the strength to do this but as you probably all know, it’s what love can do when it’s essential, so you know how unusual this was!Took her outside, put her down … she just sat on the floor and looked sadly at me! She couldn’t stand up. In the end I held her back end up with my hands under her lower belly for her to have a wee but her legs wouldn’t hold her up. It was completely heartbreaking and she’s never a dog to make a fuss, she’s usually full of beans. So I knew this was bad and I didn’t know what to do for her. I couldn’t afford any more than a check up with a vet and possibly one medication but no more. Plus I have no car and no support so I’d have to pay a taxi to take me and both dogs.Over the course of the day she hardly improved, I became convinced that it was very serious and could be the end for her. I waited until the next day, just desperately hoping she would improve with rest but the next day she was hardly any better and I was losing hope. I suddenly wondered if there was anything she could take to help her. I searched her prescription painkiller drug from the initial injury and it kept bringing up this product - YuMove MAX. I read everything I could find on the product, different variants and reviews. In the end ordered it out of desperation.She’s usually 15-16 kg. So as she was on the cusp of the sizes I decided to give her 4 tablets per day for the double dose as suggested for the initial 6-week period to start. It arrived mid afternoon and I gave her 4 tablets - which she was perfectly happy to take from my hand, although I gave her one and put the rest on her biscuits. They eat Lily’s Shepherd’s Pie (or other lamb/turkey recipe) 3 times per day. By bedtime I lifted her outside and she tottered off for a wee. Incredible! Next morning, Day 2, she got out of her bed and waited at the end of her bed for me and I put her down on the floor - she tottered to the door and I helped her down the few steps and she tottered off to wee etc. Wow! I gave her all 4 tablets with her breakfast. By the end of the day she could just about totter from living room to back door, wasn’t squeaking at all. Woke up Day 3 and she tried to get out of her bed to come to see me as she usually would! I couldn’t believe it! She has improved every day since and she’s back to normal apart from jumping up on the bed. But she’s jumping off no problem. And although she has an occasional back-end-wobble she’s otherwise fine!! I’m completely sold and have already started my other dog on them, although half the dose as she’s 12-13 kg. I’d say to anyone buy the MAX version and see what you think. I’m so impressed and relieved - I truly thought I was losing her. I am now saving for a chiropractor for her to be adjusted. McTimoney chiropractors are really gentle but very effective and there’s one in Lancashire, so that should make a lot of difference too. Don’t discount canine or equine chiropractors because they’re just as good as with humans. Don’t confuse chiropractors with any other therapist! And don’t just take anyone’s word, check they are McTimoney before using! I’ve tried one in Penrith who said he was and said he combined it and did absolutely nothing for me. Good luck!!

Expensive but helps. Works ok for our current dog but not the previous one we had.

Incredible! Maybe it was pure luck, but, we have been struggling to walk our 11 year old dog for months. Put it down to the heat but then thought it may be her joints. First double dose today and she walked even jogged much further than we have managed. I know people are concerned about the cost but honestly, it is worth every penny if it is going to bring about that much of a change towards their end of life.

These literally saved my dog. He was having joint pain and mobility issues. After taking these for a month, he has more mobility. The stiffness seems to have dissipated and he can get up easier. It always broke my heart when he whimpered in pain laying down or moving about, but that has stopped. He can move so much better - to the point we now have to stop him for going too quickly! He is a picky eater and won't take tablets like treats, but they smell like fish, so I just drop the tablets in his dinner and he eats them.

My dog much prefers these to the chews

This has rejuvenated our nearly 14-year old Miniature Schnauzer who had been listless for several days, refusing to walk and was troubled by thorns in the dorsum of two feet. She has returned to running through the field, jumping onto the sofa and climbing stairs. Truly a Lazarus-like revival! She declined to take the tablets but has no problem when they are crushed and mixed into her two daily meals. She has no problem with the chews which I bought as a back up..My wife is so impressed with their effect that she's trying the human version!

This is a great product. My whippet had been struggling a bit with limping, vet suggested supplements so I bought these. I’ve been using them on him for about 18 months now and the difference is huge. No issues with limping anymore which is great.
