While you might put collagen in your morning smoothie for its skin and hair benefits, it’s maybe not a supplement you’d think of for your dog. Pup Science, a health and wellness company for dogs, is looking to change this with its hip and joint supplement that’s formulated with collagen. And it comes in a form that’s canine-approved — i.e., chicken-flavored chews — so you likely won’t need to trick your dog into taking it since it’ll look and taste like a treat.

Fast Facts

- Each bottle contains 60 chicken-flavored soft chews

Advanced Hip & Joint Supplement for Dogs contains nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and collagen to help strengthen and improve your dog’s joint mobility. These daily chews also include methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, a supplement that acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant for arthritis and joint pain.
As with most supplements, the number of chews your dog should take is determined by weight. Pup Science recommends that for pups under 40 pounds, only half a soft chew per day is needed. For the 41-to-80-pound category, one soft chew should be taken each day. For breeds over 80 pounds, the brand recommends two soft chews per day, one taken in the morning and the other in the afternoon. You can get an extra 15% off when you sign up for Pup Science’s subscription plan, which gives you the option to choose from a one-, two- or three-month delivery.
What A Vet Says About Joint Supplements For Dogs
Dr. Amanda Takiguchi, veterinarian and founder of Trending Breeds, tells Romper that joint supplements are a “great way to support your dog’s joints.” After giving her own dog a collagen supplement for three months, she’s observed a noticeable difference. “I have seen a major difference from limping daily and struggling to get up from a laying down position to running beside me on the bicycle twice a day,” she says.
She does note, however, that it’s important to check with your vet because some dogs can develop an allergic reaction to the often animal-based ingredients that collagen is derived from. “While collagen is believed to be quite safe, it is still a medical therapy and should only be administered under the guidance of your veterinarian,” Takiguchi says. Basically, remember to consult with your veterinarian before introducing this supplement into your dog’s daily routine.
What Are Shoppers Saying?
With more than 500 reviews and an overall 4.9-star rating, pet owners are heaping praise on this supplement. Reviews tend to mention that Advanced Hip & Joint Supplement for Dogs encourages their dog to “move and play like a puppy again” and helps relieve pain from previous injuries.
- “Mickey was 6 when he started having a hard time get up and down. We started him on Pupscience and noticed a big pep in his step right away! After 1 year of being on Pupscience he moves and plays like a puppy! We are so pleased with results! A happy pup is a healthy pup!” — Gerilyn L.
- “I bought this product over a year ago and within three days, I noticed a big change in my dog. To me, she seemed much more spry than before she was talking it and she seemed to have more energy and ‘get up and go!’ She suffers from knee issues from falling off the bed when she was a pup and I noticed that she no longer favors it any longer.” — Tigh M.
- “I have been using this product now for about 2 years and I will keep using it. I'm not sure if it is a coincidence, but our dog was limping almost every time I took him for a walk and a couple of months after giving him this product on a daily basis, he stopped limping. I don't think it was a coincidence and now I usually go on 2 walks each day and am able to walk further with him. I am very pleased with this product.” — Bard L.
