A 13-year-old rescue Greyhound — that's a wonderful dog to have given a retirement home to. Greyhounds that age tend to feel their joints quite keenly, and on a fixed income you need something that actually works without costing a fortune every month. What's bothering him most at the moment — is it stiffness getting up, slowing down on walks, or something else?
Mainly stiffness, especially in the mornings. He takes a while to get going. He's also quite lean which I know is normal for a greyhound but I want to make sure he's okay.

Morning stiffness is classic for senior Greyhounds — they have very little body fat to cushion those long limbs, and their joints feel the cold and inactivity overnight more than most breeds. The leanness is completely normal, so no worry there. Is he on any medication from the vet, or is this purely a supplement conversation?
No medication, the vet said he's doing well for his age but could benefit from a joint supplement. I just can't afford anything too expensive. I'm on a pension and need to keep it under about £20 a month ideally.

That's a very workable budget, and honestly your vet is right. The product I'd point you to is YuMOVE Senior Joint Supplement — the tablet form for large dogs. It's built around glucosamine, green-lipped mussel, and hyaluronic acid, which is a well-evidenced combination for joint stiffness in older dogs. A 120-tablet pack covers a large dog for about two months and typically runs around £25–28 on Amazon, so you're looking at roughly £13–14 a month. It's the most consistently recommended senior joint supplement in the UK and it's been through proper veterinary trials. Many owners notice a real difference in morning mobility within four to six weeks.
That sounds manageable. Is there anything else I should be adding, or is that enough on its own?

For a 13-year-old with joint stiffness as the main concern, YuMOVE Senior on its own is genuinely enough to start with. Keep it simple — one supplement, given consistently, will tell you a lot over the first six weeks. If you want to do one more low-cost thing, a good-quality omega-3 fish oil added to his food can complement the joint support nicely, and a basic supermarket own-brand capsule works fine for that. But if budget is tight, start with the YuMOVE and see how he responds. You're already doing a lot for him just by being here asking.
Thank you, that's really reassuring. I'll order the YuMOVE Senior today.

Perfect choice. Look for the large dog version — it's sometimes listed as YuMOVE Senior for Large Dogs or simply the higher-strength tablet. Subscribe and save on Amazon if the option appears, it usually knocks another 10–15% off. I hope he's bounding round the garden a bit more freely in a month or so.
