Ive been developing nutraceutical products for many years for pretty much every major brand. I now have my own company but won't use this response as a plug and I will try and be as impartial as possible.

I would always suggest ensuring whatever product you use make sure its manufactured in a site with a VMD approval to ensure quality. I would not say for a second that products manufactured at food approved sites would be dangerous but VMD approved sites need to manufacture to pharmaceutical standards. It always surprises me that the veterinary industry would not think for a second of giving an animal a pharmaceutical product that is manufactured at a site without VMD approval but don't ask the question if its a nutraceutical. It would also be a good idea to look closely at the label. Many products say they have chondroitin in for example or have materials that contain chondroitin but the actual content is extremely small. This is by far the most expensive ingredient in joint supplements and many brands reduce the content to reduce the manufacturing cost. Try and compare the labels of different products before comparing prices. Lastly don't assume that the most expensive product is the best. There are some very well known veterinary brands that cost a lot of money that are actually cheaper to make than some others.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

My Name is Rachel Tomlinson, and I work for Lintbells who produces YUMOVE! I obviously think its excellent, but that is from using it (my working dogs love it) - not just recommending it!

It has a three step approach to joint care / support unlike many of the others out there! It provides:

Improves Joint Comfort – YUMOVE contains a triple strength green lipped mussel providing optimal levels of unique omega 3 EFAs to ease joint stiffness and reduce joint discomfort.

Supports Joint Structure – veterinary strength & purity Glucosamine HCl and natural chondroitin to support cartilage, with manganese for ligament strength.

Promotes Mobility – hyaluronic acid increases viscosity in the synovial fluid to aid shock absorption and flexibility in the joint

Its great for orthopaedic op's and the Hyaluronic acid gets to joints with 2hrs, making it an ideal drug to go home with post op!

Please feel free to contact me if you / your practice needs any help or advice, and I can put you in touch with your local Veterinary Business Development Executive.

Rachel

Cosequin is over twice the price, I have looked on the Yumove site + 300 tabs are 45 pounds and on the web, Cosequin is 44.99 for 120 tabs. Obviously prices may be cheaper through a vet wholesaler. Dosage is the same - >45kg 4 tabs, 35-45kg 3 tabs.

Hope this helps,

Thanks - yes it does. I had already checked the doseage was similar thats why i thought it may be of interest to the client. Has anybody swapped from cosequin to Yumove - just wondered if they found it provided the same or better benefit

how do these compare pricewise with cosequin - we have a German shepherd at work on cosequin which is hugely expensive for his size. I am always on the look out for other options. I used to use glycoflex with one of my cats and I must admit it did make quite a difference to her mobility and level of comfort

Hi, I cannot recommend yumove highly enough. I do flyball, I have all my dog's on yumove. I saw a huge difference in my elder bitch, she has alot more flexibility and less pain. Lots of flyballers use it. I think it is superior to seraquin and most of the others available.

I use PetSpec (Working Dog) for mine - it's a powder which easily mixes with water to go on her kibble and she loves the taste of it!

My 13yr old collie x has done so well on them we've managed to lower the dose and frequency of his metacam plus the added bonus is he eats them like sweeties, no trying to hide them in his food :-)

Yes i love it! I have my 2 older rotties on it, also used it for my Mum's old cat and he did really well too (from not jumping up at all to going up 6ft fences again!) Lots of agility people use it for their dogs too
