Starting joint care before symptoms show up is one of the smartest things you can do for a giant breed — and six is exactly the right time to start with a Cane Corso. That muscle mass is impressive, but it puts real load through the joints for years. Is your dog otherwise healthy, any history of hip or elbow issues from their lines, and are they currently on any other supplements?
He's in great shape, no issues at all. His parents were health tested and cleared for hips and elbows. I just know the breed is prone to joint problems later and I'd rather get ahead of it.

Good clean history — that works in your favour. So what you're looking for is a well-dosed glucosamine and chondroitin base to support cartilage, plus something anti-inflammatory like green-lipped mussel or omega-3s to keep the joint environment healthy over time. The goal at this stage isn't to treat anything, it's to slow the natural wear that heavy breeds accumulate. How big is he — around the typical 50–60kg range?
He's about 55kg, very solid. Not overweight, just big.

Perfect — that's exactly the size where dosing matters. For a dog like him, I'd go with YuMOVE Joint Care PLUS for Large Dogs. It's a well-established formula with glucosamine, chondroitin, and ActivEase green-lipped mussel, which has good evidence behind it for joint health. The PLUS version has a higher active concentration than the standard, which is what you want for a dog this size on a preventative dose. It comes in tablet form, most big dogs take them without fuss. You'd give him two tablets daily and can step down to a maintenance dose after a few months if you choose.
Is there anything else I should be adding alongside it, or is that enough on its own?

For a healthy dog in prevention mode, YuMOVE PLUS is a solid standalone — it covers the main bases. The one thing worth adding separately, especially for a heavy breed, is a quality omega-3 fish oil if his food isn't already high in it. That supports joint lubrication and systemic inflammation long-term. But don't pile on supplements all at once. Start with the YuMOVE, give it eight to twelve weeks, and then assess. Joint supplements work slowly by design — you're building a foundation, not fixing a problem.
That makes sense. I'll start with YuMOVE PLUS then. Thanks for keeping it simple.

You're doing this exactly right — proactive beats reactive every time with giant breeds. YuMOVE Joint Care PLUS for Large Dogs on Amazon UK is easy to find and well priced for the quality. Keep an eye on his movement and comfort as he gets older, and you'll have a good baseline to compare against. He's lucky to have an owner thinking this far ahead.
