Starting Joint Support 5

When should I start giving my dog joint support?

You don’t need to wait until your dog starts slowing down. Joint support can be used proactively to help support cartilage, mobility and healthy joint function throughout your dog’s life.

My dog is still very active - do they really need joint support?

Active dogs can put significant stress through their hips, knees and joints from running, jumping and playing. Supporting their joints while they’re active can form part of a long-term preventative routine.

Is this suitable for large breeds or active dogs?

Yes. Large breeds and highly active dogs can place greater mechanical stress on their joints, so consistent joint support may be particularly useful for these dogs.

My dog is 2 years old - should I choose Junior or Senior?

Choose Senior from 2 years onward. Our Junior formula is designed for dogs approximately 6 months–2 years, while our Senior formula is our ongoing joint-support blend for dogs aged 2+.

What’s the difference between Junior and Senior?

Junior focuses on supporting developing joints, cartilage and connective tissue during growth. Senior is a more comprehensive ongoing formula designed to support adult dogs as they age and stay active.

Size, Dosage & Sachets 5

How do I choose the right size?

Choose your dog’s size based on their current body weight:
Small: 1–10 kg
Medium: 10–25 kg
Large: 25–45 kg
Dogs over 45 kg require the recommended larger daily serving.

How many sachets does my dog need per day?

Most dogs receive one appropriately sized sachet per day. Dogs over 45 kg may require two Large sachets depending on the recommended serving instructions.

Why are the ingredients individually portioned into sachets?

Each sachet takes the guesswork out of measuring. Simply tear, pour and serve - with the correct daily amount already portioned for your dog.

How many sachets are in a pack?

Each full-size pack contains 30 daily sachets, designed to provide approximately one month of daily support for most dogs.

Can I give half a sachet?

We recommend following the serving amount for your dog’s weight rather than reducing the dose, as each size has been formulated around its intended daily serving.

Ingredients 5

What are the main ingredients?

Depending on the formula, our blends include joint-supporting ingredients such as glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid and Type II collagen, alongside additional ingredients selected specifically for either growing or adult dogs.

What’s in the Adult/Senior formula?

Our Senior formula includes glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, hyaluronic acid, green-lipped mussel, curcumin + piperine and UC-II® Type II collagen.

What’s in the Junior formula?

Our Junior formula includes glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, Type II collagen, vitamin C and manganese, with a focus on supporting developing joints and connective tissue.

Why use multiple joint-support ingredients instead of just one?

Different ingredients support different aspects of joint health, including cartilage, connective tissue, lubrication and normal joint function. Our formulas are designed as multi-ingredient blends rather than relying on a single ingredient.

Does the Senior formula contain green-lipped mussel?

Yes. Our Senior blend contains green-lipped mussel as part of its comprehensive adult joint-support formula.

Expert Review, Testing & Trust 5

Was the formula developed with animal-health professionals?

Our formulas have been developed with input from qualified professionals, including animal nutrition and veterinary expertise.

Who reviews Healthy Dog Club formulas?

Healthy Dog Club works with professionals including Dr Shana Winkel, PhD nutritionist, and veterinarian Dr Wendy Asato to help review our approach to canine joint support.

Are the products tested?

Product testing is an important part of our quality process, with testing conducted through an independent laboratory.

Where are the supplements manufactured?

Our supplements are manufactured through our specialist manufacturing partner in China, with quality and testing processes incorporated into production. Our manufacture sources the ingredients from all over the world, for example Green Lippid Muscle is sourced from New Zealand. 

How do I know what I’m actually giving my dog?

We believe dog owners should be able to understand what is inside their dog’s supplement, which is why we clearly list our active ingredients and recommended serving information.

Safety & Suitability 5

Can my dog take this every day?

Yes - the product is designed as a daily joint-support routine when used according to the recommended serving instructions.

Can my dog take this with other supplements or medications?

If your dog takes medication, has a diagnosed health condition or already receives other supplements, speak with your veterinarian before introducing a new supplement.

Is this suitable for puppies?

Our Junior formula is designed for dogs from approximately 6 months of age. For younger puppies, we recommend speaking with your veterinarian first.

Can pregnant or nursing dogs use it?

We recommend checking with your veterinarian before giving supplements to pregnant or nursing dogs.

What if my dog has allergies?

Always review the full ingredient list before use. This is particularly important if your dog has known food, shellfish or other ingredient sensitivities.

Taste & Picky Dogs 5

What if my dog is really picky?

That’s exactly why we created our Taste Testers. You can let your dog try the product before committing to a full pack.

How do I give it to my dog?

Tear open the sachet and sprinkle the contents over your dog’s regular food.

Can I mix it into wet food?

Absolutely. You can mix it through wet food, raw food or another suitable meal your dog already enjoys.

What if my dog won’t eat it?

Try mixing it thoroughly through a small amount of your dog’s favourite food first. And if you haven’t purchased a full pack yet, our tester option lets you check whether your dog likes it first.

Why do you offer samples when most supplement brands don’t?

Because dogs can be fussy. We’d rather give you the chance to see whether your dog will happily take it before you commit to a full routine.

Results & Routine 5

When will I start seeing results?

Every dog is different. Some owners may notice changes within the first few weeks, while others may need 6–12 weeks of consistent daily use. We recommend assessing your dog over a full 90-day period.

Do I need to give it every day?

Yes. Consistency is important with nutritional joint support, so we recommend incorporating one serving into your dog’s normal daily routine.

What should I look for when assessing results?

Rather than looking for one dramatic change, pay attention to everyday behaviours such as willingness to walk, play, jump, climb stairs, get up after resting and general ease of movement.

What happens if I miss a day?

Just continue with your normal daily serving the following day. There’s no need to double the next serving.

Is this something my dog should stay on long term?

Joint support is generally designed as an ongoing routine rather than a short-term fix, particularly for adult and ageing dogs.

Dogs Already Showing Signs 5

My dog is already stiff or slowing down - is it too late to start?

No. Many owners begin considering joint support after noticing changes in their dog’s movement. However, supplements are not a replacement for veterinary assessment if your dog is experiencing pain, limping or significant mobility changes.

Can this help a dog who struggles to get up after sleeping?

Joint supplements may support normal joint function and mobility, but difficulty rising can have several causes. If this is new, worsening or significant, your veterinarian should assess your dog.

My dog is limping - should I give them this?

A limp should be assessed by a veterinarian, particularly if it persists, appears suddenly or follows an injury. A joint supplement may form part of a broader joint-care routine, but it should not be used instead of diagnosis or treatment.

My dog already has arthritis - can they use it?

Joint supplements are commonly incorporated into broader joint-health routines, but dogs with diagnosed arthritis should have their overall treatment plan discussed with their veterinarian.

Can I use this after an ACL or joint injury?

Potentially, but dogs recovering from an injury or surgery should follow their veterinarian’s rehabilitation and treatment plan. Ask your vet whether adding a joint supplement is appropriate for your dog.

Guarantee & Support 4

What if I don’t see a difference?

We want you to have enough time to properly trial a daily joint routine, which is why eligible purchases are covered by our 90-day results guarantee, subject to our guarantee terms.

Why is the guarantee 90 days?

Joint-support ingredients work through consistent use rather than an overnight effect. A longer trial gives you a much better opportunity to evaluate your dog’s routine properly.

What if I’m not sure which formula or size to choose?

Contact us with your dog’s age and weight and our team can help point you toward the appropriate HDC option.

Can I contact you after I’ve ordered?

Of course. We want HDC to feel like an ongoing support system rather than simply sending you a product and disappearing.

Do I have to subscribe?

No. You can purchase a one-off 30-day supply or choose a subscription if you’d prefer automatic deliveries and subscription savings.

How much do I save by subscribing?
