Joint stiffness is one of the most common challenges facing older pets — and the right supplement can make a real difference to their comfort and mobility. Our Joint Health collection carries three distinct options: a premium chew for senior dogs, a high-count glucosamine tablet for dogs, and a dedicated joint chew for cats. Here's how they compare so you can find the right support for your pet.
1. YuMOVE Senior Dog Joint Supplement – Glucosamine & Green Lipped Mussel (60 Chews)
£32.53
The YuMOVE Senior Dog Joint Supplement is the premium pick for dogs aged 8 and over. YuMOVE is one of the UK's most trusted pet supplement brands, and this formula combines glucosamine, chondroitin, and sustainably sourced Green Lipped Mussel — a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids specifically associated with joint comfort and reduced stiffness. The daily chew format makes administration easy, and the formula is specifically calibrated for the higher nutritional demands of senior dogs whose joints need more targeted support. At £32.53 for 60 chews (a two-month supply at one per day), it's the most premium option for dogs in this comparison.
Best for: Senior dogs aged 8+, owners wanting a trusted UK brand, chew format preference.
Key ingredients: Glucosamine, chondroitin, Green Lipped Mussel, omega-3 | Count: 60 chews | Format: Soft daily chew | Age: Senior (8+)
2. Senior Dog Hip & Joint Supplement – 300 Glucosamine Tablets
£34.93
The Pawbits 300 Glucosamine Tablet Set is the bulk-value option — and at 300 tablets per bottle, it's by far the most generous supply in this comparison. Formulated for senior and mature dogs with stiff joints, it combines high-strength glucosamine with Green Lipped Mussel, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E — the added vitamins providing antioxidant support alongside the joint-specific ingredients. At £34.93 for 300 tablets, this represents exceptional value for multi-dog households or owners who want a long-lasting supply without frequent reordering. The tablet format is easy to administer alongside food.
Best for: Senior and mature dogs, multi-dog households, owners wanting long-lasting bulk supply, tablet format preference.
Key ingredients: Glucosamine, Green Lipped Mussel, Vitamin C, Vitamin E | Count: 300 tablets | Format: Tablet | Age: Senior / mature
3. Pet Naturals Hip + Joint Support Supplement for Cats – 30 Chews
£22.25
The Pet Naturals Hip + Joint Cat Chews are the only cat-specific option in this trio — and an important distinction, because cats have different nutritional needs and metabolisms to dogs, meaning dog supplements should never be used for cats. This formula is specifically designed for feline joint health, providing targeted hip and joint support in a chew format that's easy to administer daily. At £22.25 for 30 chews, it's the most affordable product in this comparison and the only appropriate choice for cat owners. If your cat is slowing down, hesitating before jumps, or showing signs of stiffness, this is the supplement to reach for.
Best for: Cats showing signs of joint stiffness, older cats, cat owners wanting a feline-specific formula.
Count: 30 chews | Format: Daily chew | Species: Cats only | Focus: Hip + joint support

Which Joint Supplement Is Right for Your Pet?
The first question is simple: dog or cat? Never give a dog supplement to a cat — feline metabolism is different and some dog supplement ingredients can be harmful to cats. If you have a cat showing signs of joint stiffness, the Pet Naturals Cat Chews at £22.25 are the only appropriate choice here and a great starting point.
For dog owners, the choice comes down to brand trust versus bulk value. If you want the reassurance of one of the UK's most established pet supplement brands with a formula specifically calibrated for senior dogs, the YuMOVE Senior Dog at £32.53 for 60 chews is the premium pick. If you have multiple dogs, a large dog requiring a higher daily dose, or simply want the best cost-per-day value, the Pawbits 300 Tablet Set at £34.93 works out at just 12p per tablet — exceptional value for a high-strength glucosamine formula that lasts nearly a year.
