An 11-year-old Standard Poodle who's still sharp — that's a dog worth doing everything right for. What's the current mobility picture, and is she on anything at the moment?
Nothing at the moment. She stiffens badly after long rests and takes about 15 minutes to fully warm up. She still loves her walks, maybe 30 minutes now versus an hour previously. She's a big girl — about 30kg.

15-minute warm-up and walk distance halved — that's a dog who's managing the stiffness but it's already limiting what she can enjoy. At 11 and 30kg with those symptoms, I'd go straight to YuMOVE ADVANCE 360 rather than starting at Senior and stepping up. ADVANCE 360 has a higher ActivEase concentration, adds therapeutic-dose omega-3s, and includes a collagen matrix component — it's the right level of support for an older large dog at this stage of stiffness. Give it 6–8 weeks and track the warm-up time and walk duration as your metrics.
