Post-cruciate recovery is one of the situations where a joint supplement genuinely earns its place — you're supporting cartilage that's been through real trauma, not just age-related wear. Has she been fully discharged from physio, or is she still in active rehab?
Fully discharged three weeks ago. The vet said her movement is good but to keep supporting the joint long-term.

Good timing to get something established then. For a dog at this stage — post-surgical, physio complete, now in the maintenance window — I'd recommend 4Cyte Canine. It's built around Epiitalis, a plant-based oil that has clinical evidence for cartilage cell regeneration specifically, not just symptom management. It's the one I'd reach for when the goal is rebuilding joint tissue quality rather than just managing inflammation. One pump on food daily. It takes 4–6 weeks to build up, so starting now gives her the best runway.
