What’s the Best Supplement for Dogs with Joint Pain?

If your dog has started limping, slowing down on walks or struggling with stairs, joint pain could be the cause. Just like humans, dogs can develop arthritis and other degenerative joint conditions as they age, and even active or younger dogs can experience wear and tear from play, injuries or genetics.

The good news? With the right joint supplement, you can help manage discomfort, support healthy mobility and improve your dog’s quality of life — naturally and safely.

Signs Your Dog May Be Experiencing Joint Pain

Common signs include:

• Stiffness after resting
• Limping or favouring one leg
• Difficulty standing, climbing stairs or jumping
• Reduced activity or reluctance to exercise
• Licking or chewing at joints

If your dog shows any of these signs, it’s worth speaking to your vet and considering a daily joint supplement as part of your plan.

What to Look For in a Dog Joint Supplement

Not all supplements are created equal. The best options include clinically studied ingredients that support cartilage regeneration, reduce inflammation and provide lubrication to the joints. Key active ingredients to look for include:

• Glucosamine: Supports cartilage structure and repair
• Chondroitin Sulphate: Helps protect cartilage from breakdown
• MSM: A natural source of sulphur that supports joint flexibility and anti-inflammatory processes
• Hyaluronic Acid: Lubricates the joint for smooth movement
• Collagen: Strengthens the tissues around joints

These ingredients work best when used consistently over time — and are most effective in concentrated, well-absorbed formats like pastes or powders.
