Should I start my older dog on joint supplements before a new puppy arrives?
This is a specific conversation about Dog joint supplements — what's worth buying — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

A 10-year-old dog with a puppy incoming — you're right to think about this now rather than after the chaos begins. The concern is less about the puppy itself and more that a new dog in the house will raise activity levels for the older dog in ways that strain already-compromised joints. Is the stiffness he shows currently mild, or is he already having some difficult mornings?
Mild at the moment. He stiffens after long sleeps but mostly fine during the day. The puppy arrives in four weeks.

Four weeks is actually a good lead time — start him on YuMOVE Senior now rather than waiting. Green-lipped mussel takes 6–8 weeks to reach therapeutic levels, so starting today means he'll be better supported at exactly the point the puppy arrives and his activity spikes. It also gives you a baseline reading of his mobility before the household changes, so you can tell whether any changes later are from the supplement or the environment. One tablet daily with food, dosed for his weight.
