Yumove Senior MAX Strength Joint Preparation with Maximum Strength for Older, Stiff Dogs with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Green-Lipped Mussel | From 9 Years | 120 Tablets

My very active Cocker Spaniel who is a young 9 years old, hurt her lower spine when she was 3 or 4 and since then has had a small number of repeat episodes, which have gone with rest. Since I got my two Cocker puppies, 5 months apart, my life has disintegrated and there’s very little money available. I buy them the best food I can afford, better than mine, but since 2017 I cannot afford vet appointments or medications and have had to cancel their insurance, too. I’ve been dreading a serious medical incident and a few weeks ago it came out of the blue! She yelped at something when she was right next to me but I couldn’t figure out why. Then nothing more for a few hours until bedtime when she couldn’t jump up onto my bed, which is high. So I lifted her up. Next morning - she was gently squeaking, very unusually for her, just laying in her bed. My heart sank, I knew it must be serious. As usual, I said ‘come on girls, getting up time’ and my other dog leapt from her bed and onto the floor but T didn’t move! Tried persuading her but nothing worked. In the end I had to convince her to come towards me in her bed and I scooped her up in my arms to carry her outside. Now I have MS and I have no idea how I found the strength to do this but as you probably all know, it’s what love can do when it’s essential, so you know how unusual this was! Took her outside, put her down … she just sat on the floor and looked sadly at me! She couldn’t stand up. In the end I held her back end up with my hands under her lower belly for her to have a wee but her legs wouldn’t hold her up. It was completely heartbreaking and she’s never a dog to make a fuss, she’s usually full of beans. So I knew this was bad and I didn’t know what to do for her. I couldn’t afford any more than a check up with a vet and possibly one medication but no more. Plus I have no car and no support so I’d have to pay a taxi to take me and both dogs. Over the course of the day she hardly improved, I became convinced that it was very serious and could be the end for her. I waited until the next day, just desperately hoping she would improve with rest but the next day she was hardly any better and I was losing hope. I suddenly wondered if there was anything she could take to help her. I searched her prescription painkiller drug from the initial injury and it kept bringing up this product - YuMove MAX. I read everything I could find on the product, different variants and reviews. In the end ordered it out of desperation. She’s usually 15-16 kg. So as she was on the cusp of the sizes I decided to give her 4 tablets per day for the double dose as suggested for the initial 6-week period to start. It arrived mid afternoon and I gave her 4 tablets - which she was perfectly happy to take from my hand, although I gave her one and put the rest on her biscuits. They eat Lily’s Shepherd’s Pie (or other lamb/turkey recipe) 3 times per day. By bedtime I lifted her outside and she tottered off for a wee. Incredible! Next morning, Day 2, she got out of her bed and waited at the end of her bed for me and I put her down on the floor - she tottered to the door and I helped her down the few steps and she tottered off to wee etc. Wow! I gave her all 4 tablets with her breakfast. By the end of the day she could just about totter from living room to back door, wasn’t squeaking at all. Woke up Day 3 and she tried to get out of her bed to come to see me as she usually would! I couldn’t believe it! She has improved every day since and she’s back to normal apart from jumping up on the bed. But she’s jumping off no problem. And although she has an occasional back-end-wobble she’s otherwise fine!! I’m completely sold and have already started my other dog on them, although half the dose as she’s 12-13 kg. I’d say to anyone buy the MAX version and see what you think. I’m so impressed and relieved - I truly thought I was losing her. I am now saving for a chiropractor for her to be adjusted. McTimoney chiropractors are really gentle but very effective and there’s one in Lancashire, so that should make a lot of difference too. Don’t discount canine or equine chiropractors because they’re just as good as with humans. Don’t confuse chiropractors with any other therapist! And don’t just take anyone’s word, check they are McTimoney before using! I’ve tried one in Penrith who said he was and said he combined it and did absolutely nothing for me. Good luck!!

Expensive but helps. Works ok for our current dog but not the previous one we had.

These tablets to me are magic honestly my dog is 10 she was having injection every month for pain and movement in her legs I’ve looked so many different medications for her then I see these thought give them a try it’s been7 months now and my dog hasnt had to have anymore injections I give her two of these a day these are the best tablet ever .

My dog Jessie is 10 years old and started having trouble with back legs. She was put on these tablets and after 6 weeks the difference was remarkable, no more limping.

Incredible! Maybe it was pure luck, but, we have been struggling to walk our 11 year old dog for months. Put it down to the heat but then thought it may be her joints. First double dose today and she walked even jogged much further than we have managed. I know people are concerned about the cost but honestly, it is worth every penny if it is going to bring about that much of a change towards their end of life.
