YuMOVE is a joint supplement from the UK that has become popular in the US, where it is sold by Vetnique. It is built around green-lipped mussel, one of the better-researched joint ingredients. We have not tested it on our own dogs; this review is based on published labels, ingredient research and owner feedback. Always ask your vet before starting a supplement.
What is in YuMOVE
Formulas vary by version and life stage. As an example, the UK adult dog tablet lists per tablet:
| Ingredient (per tablet, adult formula) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Glucosamine HCl | 250 mg |
| Green-lipped mussel powder (ActivEase®) | 150 mg |
| Vitamin C | 12.5 mg |
| Hyaluronic acid | 1.5 mg |
| Manganese sulphate | 3 mg |
| Vitamin E | 0.5 mg |
The senior formula adds a small amount of concentrated fish oil and N-acetyl glucosamine. Check the label of the exact US product you buy, since formulas and doses differ by market.

What we like
- Green-lipped mussel at the core: an ingredient with moderate evidence in dogs.
- Life-stage formulas for young, adult and senior dogs.
- Small tablets, and the brand says most dogs take them as treats.
- A long track record and strong vet-recommendation claims in the UK.
What to keep in mind
- Small amount of omega-3: like most joint products, it will not replace a vet-dosed fish oil.
- Tablets, not soft chews: some picky dogs prefer chews.
- Avoid if your dog has a shellfish allergy.
YuMOVE vs Wuffes
Both combine glucosamine and green-lipped mussel. Wuffes uses soft chews and adds MSM and chondroitin, with a high glucosamine dose in its large-breed version; YuMOVE uses smaller tablets centered on its ActivEase green-lipped mussel.

Verdict
YuMOVE is a reasonable choice if you want a green-lipped-mussel-based supplement in tablet form. For dogs with diagnosed arthritis, pair any joint supplement with your vet’s plan and a properly dosed omega-3.
