Healthy joints help your dog enjoy life — from running and playing to simply getting up comfortably each day. Whether you have a growing puppy, an active adult, or a senior dog slowing down, joint health plays a vital role in their overall wellbeing.
Joint support shouldn’t start only when problems appear. The right nutrition can help support joints early, protect mobility, and maintain comfort as dogs age.
Our joint health approach is built around three proven nutritional supports that work together:
Your dog’s joints are under constant pressure from:
Over time, joints can become less flexible, cartilage can wear down, and movement may feel less comfortable. Supporting joint health through food helps protect mobility before stiffness or discomfort becomes noticeable.
This proactive approach is especially important for puppies, large breeds, senior dogs, and dogs carrying extra weight.
Supporting joint comfort and flexibility
Omega-3 fatty acids help support the body’s natural response to inflammation, which plays an important role in joint comfort and ease of movement.
Omega-3s are particularly helpful for:
By supporting joint comfort, omega-3 fatty acids help dogs stay mobile and active for longer.

Supporting cartilage, tendons and connective tissue
Collagen is a key structural protein found in cartilage, ligaments and tendons. These tissues hold joints together and help movement stay smooth and stable.
Collagen support is especially important for:
By supporting joint structure, collagen helps maintain stability, flexibility and long-term mobility.

Helping protect cartilage and joint cushioning
Glucosamine and chondroitin are naturally found in healthy cartilage. Together, they help support the cushioning inside joints that allows smooth, comfortable movement.
They help:
Glucosamine and chondroitin are widely used for long-term joint support in adult and senior dogs.

Joint health is not supported by one nutrient alone.
Each ingredient plays a different role:
When combined in a balanced diet, they provide complete joint support, helping protect both short-term comfort and long-term mobility.
Some dogs benefit from extra joint support built directly into their food. That’s why selected grain-free recipes include our Joint Care Pack, designed to support cartilage, mobility and long-term joint health as part of a complete, balanced diet.
These recipes are ideal for:

Whether you’re choosing a grain-free recipe with added joint support or learning more about specific joint-supporting ingredients, you’re taking a positive step toward lifelong comfort and mobility.
The best joint support for dogs combines omega-3 fatty acids, collagen, and glucosamine & chondroitin. Together, these nutrients support joint comfort, cartilage health, connective tissue strength, and long-term mobility. Using them as part of a complete dog food provides consistent daily support.
Joint support can start at any life stage. Puppies benefit during growth, adult dogs benefit from long-term protection, and senior dogs benefit from ongoing comfort and mobility support. Starting early helps protect joints before stiffness or discomfort develops.
No. While senior dogs often need joint support, puppies, active dogs, large breeds, and overweight dogs can all benefit. Joint health is about prevention as well as maintenance, not just ageing.
Yes. Omega-3 fatty acids help support joint comfort and flexibility by supporting the body’s natural inflammatory balance. They are especially helpful for active dogs, large breeds, and older dogs who may feel stiff after exercise.
Collagen supports the structure of joints, including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. These tissues help stabilise joints and keep movement smooth. Collagen is particularly important for growing puppies, large breeds, and senior dogs.
Glucosamine and chondroitin help support healthy cartilage, which cushions joints and allows smooth movement. They are commonly included in dog food to support long-term joint health, especially in adult and senior dogs.
Joint-support dog food provides consistent daily intake without the need for separate supplements. Including joint-supporting nutrients directly in food makes long-term joint care easier, more reliable, and part of a balanced diet.
Grain-free dog food can be suitable for joint health when it includes added functional ingredients like omega-3 fatty acids, collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin. The key is the overall nutritional balance, not just whether a food is grain-free.
Joint-support dog food is especially suitable for:
Joint support works gradually. Many dogs show improvements in comfort and movement after several weeks of consistent feeding, as part of a long-term nutrition plan.
Yes. Puppies can benefit from joint-supporting nutrients when included at appropriate levels, especially large or fast-growing breeds. Joint support helps protect developing joints during growth.
Yes. Small dogs may be lighter, but their joints still experience daily wear from frequent movement, jumping, and quick turns. Joint support helps maintain long-term comfort and mobility in small breeds too.
Yes. When included in a complete, balanced dog food, joint-supporting nutrients are designed for daily, long-term feeding as part of your dog’s normal diet.
The best joint-support recipe depends on your dog’s:
Recipes designed for puppies, seniors, large breeds, or weight control often include targeted joint support to match those needs.
