Rescue dogs with no history are a slightly different starting point — you're working without a baseline and without knowing what, if anything, they've been given before. Has the vet given you any estimate on age, and have they done any joint assessment since the rescue?
Vet estimates between 5 and 8 years based on teeth and condition. She shows stiffness after long walks and sometimes in the mornings. No serious concerns raised beyond the general wear.

5 to 8 with post-exercise and morning stiffness — that puts her in the early-to-moderate joint wear bracket, which is exactly the range YuMOVE Adult is designed for. It's not as potent as Senior formula, but Senior is calibrated for dogs with more established degeneration. Given you don't know her history, Adult is the sensible entry point — it gives you a clear benchmark to assess the response over 6–8 weeks. If she improves noticeably, you've found the right level. If improvement is minimal, stepping to Senior is the logical move. Dose by her current weight, consistently with food.
