As a veterinarian and a geriatric dog owner myself, lots of people ask me about what joint supplements I like to use. Joint issues and arthritis are so common in aging dogs, affecting over 14 million pets in the US, so if you’re like me and have a pet who could use a little help in the joint department this is for you! I currently have my dogs on this new and improved formulation of Wuffes Advanced Hip and Joint support chews and we are loving it!

Here are a few reasons I love the Wuffes Advanced Hip and Joint support product:

First let’s talk about what’s in this supplement. Not all dog joint supplements are created equal, and there are no mandatory regulations for pet supplement manufacturers to follow, so it’s really important to scrutinize what you’re giving your dog and make sure it is a veterinarian-approved product backed by science.

The Wuffes supplement is densely packed with glucosamine as the #1 ingredient to maintain healthy cartilage and joints and reduce joint pain and inflammation. Dogs with degenerative joint disease don’t produce as much of their own glucosamine, so supplementation helps build lost cartilage by stimulating chondrocytes in the joint. The 2nd ingredient, MSM helps to improve blood flow to the affected areas and reduces joint pain and inflammation.

The third ingredient is green-lipped mussel extract, which I’m really excited about – there is a ton of exciting new science showing the benefits of green lipped mussels and how they help with joint disease. They are an amazing, nutritionally dense superfood with many health benefits. Importantly for joint health, they contain high levels of omega 3s, glucosamine, chondroitin, zinc, and magnesium which help to deliver the well-studied anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. This ingredient, plus the hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, and yucca plant set them apart from other available joint supplements

This supplement is packed with great, high-quality ingredients and. Wuffes follows the FDA’s  Center for Veterinary Medicine national guidelines for pet dietary supplements.

The chews are free from artificial colorants and flavors. There are no fillers or additives; everything in here has a purpose. My dogs love the flavor too!

They also undergo rigorous quality control to make the best possible product, and are made in the United States.

Another unique feature of the wuffes supplement is that they have two tablet sizes to pick from based on the size of your dog. If you have a large dog over 65 lbs, the large breed formulation is excellent and unique to this brand– in one chew they pack 3x the glucosamine, 2x the MSM, and 2x the yucca contents, and it is more cost effective for your large dogs than the competitors.

If you are one of the millions of pet parents like myself who has a dog with joint pain or arthritis, start your dog early on Wuffes to help reduce joint pain and inflammation now! Starting early when you are seeing subtle signs of joint discomfort can help your pet in the long run instead of waiting until they have advanced disease. Your dog will thank you! The Wuffes ingredients are backed by science and vet approved! And certainly dog approved too! They also have a 90-day satisfaction guarantee, so you have nothing to lose.
