Vanderweerd J M et al (2012) Systematic Review of Efficacy of Nutraceuticals to Alleviate Clinical Signs of Osteoarthritis. A powerful supplement to aid in a dogs mobility is Seraquin® Chewable Glucosamine Joint Supplement Tablets, offering a chewable, palatable tablet for easy swallowing.

Signs that your dog has joint problems include moving slower than normal, having trouble walking, especially when it comes to going up and down stairs, or in and out of the car, and being stiff when they wake up. NB: Cost per day has been calculated using the maintenance measure for a medium 20kg dog (usually the larger the dog, the larger the daily measure) and the RRP of the smallest available tub/bottle. Omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, have anti-inflammatory properties, aiding in the reduction of joint inflammation and pain. Here is a selection of the best joint supplements for dogs currently on the market along with the manufacturer’s descriptions.Our range includes joint tablets for dogs, as well as liquid formulas and powders if your dog won't take tablets. Protexin don’t publish how much Boswellia is included within the Dasuquin mix however it is a listed compound. Mobile Bones is a health supplement for dogs with joint disease or active/working dogs that need a bit of extra protection from wear and tear. The sulphur found within MSM is needed for the proper repair and maintenance of collagen, such as that found within the connective tissue of healthy joints. It’s recommended that you feed double the amount when you first use the tablets, dropping down to a normal dose for “maintenance” after a few weeks.

Anti-inflammatory support comes from multiple antioxidant ingredients, such as omega-3, which help neutralise the inflammation associated with stiff joints and support the body’s anti-inflammatory response. Active ingredients include glucosamine, green lipped mussel, MSM, turmeric, ascorbic acid, manganese, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. This is unsurprising as their major selling point is the lack of any other added ingredients which in theory makes the compound mix more pure.It contains 50% more ultra-concentrated, joint-soothing Omega 3 (via green lipped mussel and fish oil) than YuMOVE Adult (which is designed for adult dogs showing occasional signs of stiffness), with added N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine to lubricate and cushion the joints.
