The WagWell Hip & Joint Chew is formulated with several key active ingredients, each serving an important role:

• 
  Glucosamine – helps maintain and rebuild cartilage.
  
• 
  Chondroitin – supports cartilage health and helps reduce breakdown.
  
• 
  MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – aids in reducing joint discomfort and supports connective tissue.
  
• 
  Green-Lipped Mussel – a natural source of omega-3s and chondroitin; helps with joint inflammation.
  
• 
  Hyaluronic Acid – helps lubricate joints for smoother movement.
  

These combined help support your dog’s joint flexibility, comfort, and mobility.

Dosage should be based on your dog’s weight. Since this is a small/medium breed formula, WagWell recommends following the weight-based serving guidelines listed on the packaging. For example:

• 
  Dogs under a certain weight might get 1 chew per day
  
• 
  Larger small / medium dogs may need 2 or more, depending on their size
  

Always start with the suggested daily amount, and consult your vet if your dog has special health conditions.

Individual dogs vary, but many pet owners report seeing noticeable improvements in mobility and less stiffness after 4-6 weeks of consistent use of WagWell’s Hip & Joint chews. For best effect, use daily as directed.

Generally yes, but it’s important to proceed with caution. WagWell recommends:

• Checking with your veterinarian before starting, especially if your dog is pregnant, nursing, has liver/kidney issues, or is on prescription medications.
  
• Reviewing the Ingredients list for potential allergens. For example, this product contains fish, possibly shellfish (Green-Lipped Mussel), and brewer’s yeast, which could be problematic for some dogs.

Store WagWell Hip & Joint Chews in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once opened, it’s best to use within a reasonable period (typically a few weeks) to ensure freshness.

WagWell recommends these chews for dogs over 12 weeks of age. If you have a young puppy (especially in breeds prone to joint issues), starting early under veterinary guidance can be beneficial. For puppies, ensure you’re using the small/medium breed dosage and that the puppy’s diet is balanced to support overall growth.
