squirrel shooter Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hi I have a 10 year old lab bitch, she's getting a bit stiff now, I've been told about 'Yumove' and 'GWF Joint aid plus muscle maintenance for working dogs'. Has anyone used either of the above? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipper Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I have used glucosamine on my old lab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I am wondering...not suggesting mind, but blue lipped muscle tablets worked wonders on my arthritic ankle and I still use the cream on my hands and wrists with success. Is it worth making enquires to see if it would have the same effect on animal tissue. Natural so i would have tought so. Quite a bit of tuff on the web about it.

bruno22rf Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 IMHO yumove is an absolute rip off 0 look up the ingredients and buy the human version in Tesco - about 1/100 of the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 We are still using Glucosamine on a our old lab (13 this year), do some research on the web. Our vet recommended it and also said if we get the correct dosage it’s massively cheaper buying it from the likes of Holland and Barret.

serrac Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Would you say it's a good investment to start dogs on some of this stuff before they start to show issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Our sprocker has Yumove and it's really helped. I'll look into the own brand version, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats a few bob, when it's your best mate ? The price of a pint ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 No , not the price of a pint and I don't like being ripped off - how much is yumove? £17 when the Tesco equivalent is around a fiver. If you believe that green lipped muscle powder actually works (and there's very little evidence) then you can buy the stuff in kilo bags for around the same price as Tesco tablets. Oily fish most likely has the same , if not more, effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchy trigger Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 put a cod liver oil capsule in both my dogs food every day, don't know if it does any good joints wise but both have good glossy coats. less than £1 a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prem1234 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 In the end I had to get my dog over onto Metacalm which is an anti-inflamatory, gave him a new lease of life for 12-18 months. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot recollect the original ones but they were shipped from Switzerland. Since that date I have purchased them and the cream from Holland & Barrett with excellent results. The result in the initial problem with my ankle; I could not walk along the landing in a morning, was magical because I had relief within 3 to 4 days and was free of pain within two weeks and have never had a return of the problem. I use the Pernaton cream ..Holland & Barrett ... now for any aches and pains in joints, most recently wirst and hand, but also knee joint.

dipper Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 If you give your dog COD liver oil capsules.Make sure thay are for dogs.The human ones are cheaper but not as effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Vector Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Put my very nearly 12 year old Lab bitch (non working) onto Synoquin EFA. She's a different dog - much more agile and generally happier. Made a much bigger improvement to her than I though possible. Prior to that she was getting very slow and creaky. Also giving it to my oldest Basset (he's also approaching 12). Seen improvements in him as well but not quite as dramatic as in the Lab. Not cheap but well worth it to see the improvement in them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
