As any dog owner will tell you, watching your fur baby age is tragic. For years, my Labrador Bailey was the definition of energy zooming around and chasing balls, jumping up for hugs and jumping upstairs like a puppy. Then slowly, I began to notice the changes; stiff legs in the morning, waiting before a jump, their once lively walks turning into slow strolls.

It didn’t creep up on me all at once, and at first I told myself it was just “normal aging.” The reality was, I wasn’t ready for Bailey to struggle yet. That’s when I decided to investigate some joint support options and that is when I discovered YuMOVE UK, which started as a hopeful experiment, to the best decision I have made for her.

Spoiler alert: It worked. Really.

But now it gets even cooler; while I was reordering her supplements, something that made me do a double take: YuMOVE also has joint support for humans. Yep, the same company that helped dogs move around combine products that help us, they have a line called iMOVE, made for us people. Let me walk you through our YuMOVE journey, Bailey’s and mine.

Bailey’s Story: From Slow Steps to Zoomies Again

Now that Bailey is 9 years old, and similar to a lot of larger breeds, she began exhibiting signs of joint stiffness earlier than I was expecting. The hardest part was the morning. It was tough for her to stretch out her body, walk slowly, and her willingness to march out like a pogo stick or doing zoomies on our walks was diminishing. The vet said she had mild arthritis and this is pretty normal, but I can manage that.

I had tried a few different joint treats and supplements without much success, but I kept hearing people mention YuMOVE more and more from posts in forums, at the dog park, and even from my vet. I found that YuMOVE has veterinarian recommended, scientifically backed formulas and is specifically for joint health and has quality ingredients.

So I got a pack.

Within 3–4 weeks, the difference in Bailey was apparent. She was moving around better, had her bounce back to being playful, and she was even tackling the stairs again without that little pause at the bottom of beginning a step. I cannot fully express how happy this made me to see Bailey again, being herself!

What Sets YuMOVE Apart?

There are many joint supplements on the market, but here’s how YuMOVE stood out:

Clinically proven efficacy: YuMOVE is shown to work in as little as 6 weeks in studies.

Green-lipped mussel (GLM): A patented unique ingredient from New Zealand, rich in Omega-3s and has anti-inflammatory properties to help support joint function.

Glucosamine and hyaluronic acid: helps maintain healthy cartilage and provide lubrication for your joints.

Tailored formulas: YuMOVE has something for every type of dog, whether an active puppy or a sweet senior dog.

Tasty and easy to give: Bailey thinks they are treats, and to be honest, that is half the battle when giving supplements.

It is not surprising that YuMOVE is the UKs #1 vet recommended joint supplement for dogs.

Wait, They Make Supplements for Humans Too?

Now here’s a twist I didn’t expect: When I went to replenish Bailey’s supplements on the YuMOVE site, I noticed something called iMOVE.

Initially, I thought I misread the original word or it was another brand. Nope, the iMOVE is also a YuMOVE joint supplement but for humans. Same scientific research, same quality ingredients, just differently formulated for humans.

I was shocked and honestly, intrigued. I have endured my own share of stiff knees after workouts and long hikes. If it has helped Bailey move with ease, why not indulge myself too?

So I did. And while this post is more about my dog, I will say this: I wasn’t expecting much, but after about a month of taking iMOVE, I feel like my joints are creaking less and my recovery time is better. Seems like a no brainer, good ingredients work, no matter the species!

Final Thoughts: 10/10, Would Recommend (for Humans & Dogs)

If your dog shows signs of slowing down due toage, arthritis, or general wear and tear then YuMOVE is definitely worth trying. It is veterinarian approved, scientifically supported, and to my knowledge, has been effective, with a lasting impact. Bailey is moving with less restriction and more frequently playing, and enjoying her daily walks like a puppy again.

And if you are dealing with some of your own niggles in joints, don’t be surprised if you also check out their iMOVE range. I know I did, and I am glad I did!

YuMOVE didn’t just improve Bailey’s mobility, it gave her back her sparkle. And, maybe mine too.

Bailey approved. Human tested. Joint happy.

I ended up ordering a Dog & Me Bundle with 40% off, and to be fair, it felt like a complete win, and I got to try YuMOVE for myself; and even better, YuMOVE has a wide range for dogs, cats, horses, and even humans too!
