Dorwest Kelp is a general nutritional supplement — it's mineral and trace element support, primarily for coat and thyroid function. It's not a joint supplement and won't address arthritis or joint stiffness. The improvement you were hoping for wasn't going to come from it. How long has she been on it, and what signs of stiffness are you seeing?
Three months. Morning stiffness, takes a while to get going. I saw it in a list of supplements for dogs and assumed it covered joints too.

Easy mistake when the supplement aisle groups everything together. Three months with no joint benefit because the product wasn't designed for it — you're essentially at baseline. Switch her to YuMOVE Senior. It's built specifically for the morning stiffness pattern you're describing — green-lipped mussel anti-inflammatory, glucosamine for cartilage, hyaluronic acid for joint lubrication. Start from scratch with a proper 6–8 week assessment. The Dorwest Kelp isn't harmful and can continue separately if you want the nutritional benefits, but it won't touch the stiffness.
