Hi I am after a little advice and undoubtedly these questions have been asked many times before so apologies in advance. Question 1. Yumove is it worth it or just another gimmick? I currently use Yumove joint care for adult dogs (my chocolate Labrador is now 7 and a half years old). 3 of my friends who own other breeds seem to say they notice a difference using it but my vet who I like as he is straight to the point and not just after my money doesn’t seem to recommend it suggesting it was like a lot of human supplements which are mostly money-making products with little or no benefit. Yumove is supposedly clinically proven to aid in joint care and claimed as the number 1 in the UK but is it really number 1, and does it really work? Question 2. I have always found it hard to clean my Labradors teeth, I cannot get anywhere near her with a toothbrush and she takes no notice of the toys on the market that you add toothpaste to, dent sticks seem to be just eaten and not actually chewed and seem just another snack for her, I noticed her teeth were not great and breath smelt so did some research and came up with this. Nutripaw dental formula water additive (I can hear some of you laughing now). At £21 a bottle which lasts only a few weeks it is rather expensive, but the big question is does this stuff work? I am sure like most owners when it comes to your loyal friend cost isn’t really the issue, but the question is are these products just gimmicks or do they work. Suggestions on either joint care or dental health are very much welcome. Thanks in advance
Yumove didn't help my dog, but every dog is different. Maybe try a different joint supplement if Yumove doesn't work for you. Two supplements that worked for my dog are Flexadin and Chondro Super. There are other factors to consider: regular low impact exercise, no excess weight, low-carb diet, etc. As for the teeth, I've always brushed my dog's teeth which I taught him from a very young age so no suggestions from my part except from a regular dog toothpaste and toothbrush.
