By Daddy Paw | Dog Health & Wellness
Jointsure is one of the most popular budget-friendly joint supplements for dogs in the UK. It's often recommended as a cheaper alternative to YuMOVE — but how good is it really? And how does it compare to Daddy Paw Max Strength?
Here's an honest look.
What Is Jointsure?
Jointsure is made by Vetwell Scientific — a UK supplement company with over 30 years of experience making animal health products. It comes in tablet form and is designed for adult and senior dogs of any size.
It's one of the most widely sold dog joint supplements on Amazon UK and eBay, and has built a loyal following among owners looking for a good value alternative to the more expensive brands.
What's In It?
Jointsure contains 7 active ingredients:
Glucosamine (260mg per tablet) — helps repair and protect cartilage. A solid dose at 260mg per tablet.
Green-Lipped Mussel (155mg per tablet) — a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and chondroitin. The chondroitin in Jointsure comes from this GLM — it's natural chondroitin rather than a separate added compound.
Hyaluronic Acid (1.5mg) — keeps joints lubricated. The dose here is on the lower end — Daddy Paw delivers more per tablet.
Vitamin C (12.5mg) — helps the body make collagen and acts as an antioxidant.
Vitamin E (0.5mg) — another antioxidant that helps fight inflammation.
Manganese (3mg) — supports bone and cartilage health.
What's NOT in Jointsure: MSM is not included. MSM reduces inflammation at a cellular level and is found in most premium joint supplements. Its absence is the main gap in the Jointsure formula.
All ingredients are human-grade, manufactured in the UK, and meet GMP and ISO 9001 certification standards.
Pack Sizes & Price
Jointsure comes in four sizes — which is one of its big strengths. You can try a small pack first before committing to a larger supply:

The 300 tablet pack is the most popular — it gives you roughly 2–4 months supply depending on your dog's size, and works out significantly cheaper per tablet than the smaller packs.
What Dog Owners Say
Reviews are largely positive — especially for the value it offers:
One long-term owner of a 12-year-old Springer Spaniel said Jointsure has made movement more fluid after years of use — and they've tried more expensive products but keep coming back because Jointsure works at a reasonable price, especially with the three-for-two deal.
Another owner with three dogs — one aged 13 with two cruciate injuries and shoulder cancers, one aged 10, and one aged 9 with a cruciate injury — reported all three doing better on Jointsure than on YuMOVE.
A dog with osteoarthritis showed remarkable improvement in just 4 weeks — going from trailing behind on walks to pulling ahead on the lead.
Not all reviews are positive though. Some owners of dogs with very advanced arthritis found it wasn't quite strong enough on its own. A few mention the tablets can be tricky for picky dogs to eat.

The honest verdict: Jointsure and Daddy Paw are actually very similar in price for 120 tablets. The key differences are:
- Jointsure has MSM missing — an important anti-inflammatory
- Daddy Paw is a max strength formula — 50% higher concentrations for senior dogs with more serious joint concerns
- Daddy Paw has a 20% subscription discount — Jointsure doesn't
- Jointsure includes vitamins and manganese — Daddy Paw doesn't, but these aren't core joint-repair ingredients
For dogs with mild joint concerns or as a preventive supplement — Jointsure is a solid, affordable UK option. For senior dogs with arthritis or advancing joint disease — Daddy Paw Max Strength's higher concentrations make it the stronger choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Jointsure good for dogs? Yes — Jointsure is a well-formulated, UK-made supplement with 7 active ingredients including glucosamine, green-lipped mussel, and hyaluronic acid. It's particularly good value in the 300 tablet pack. The main gap is the absence of MSM. For dogs with mild to moderate joint concerns, it's a solid, affordable option. For senior dogs with more advanced arthritis, a max strength formula like Daddy Paw delivers higher concentrations of the key ingredients.
Q: How does the Jointsure 300 tablet pack compare to Daddy Paw? The Jointsure 300 tablet pack costs around £38–£42 and gives 2–4 months supply depending on dog size — excellent value per tablet. For comparison, Daddy Paw 120 tablets costs £21.99 (£17.59 on subscription). Jointsure's bigger packs work out cheaper per tablet, but Daddy Paw is a max strength formula — 50% higher concentrations — so you're paying for a stronger, more targeted formula for senior dogs.
Q: Is Jointsure better than YuMOVE? Many owners who've tried both prefer Jointsure for value. Jointsure has more active ingredients at a lower price than YuMOVE standard range. YuMOVE has stronger brand recognition and vet endorsement. Both are solid options — Jointsure wins on value, YuMOVE wins on brand trust and availability.
Q: Does Jointsure contain MSM? No — MSM is not in the standard Jointsure formula. MSM is a natural anti-inflammatory that reduces joint pain at a cellular level. Its absence is the main gap in Jointsure compared to premium formulas like Daddy Paw Max Strength which includes MSM alongside five other core ingredients.
Q: Where can I buy Jointsure in the UK? Jointsure is available on Amazon UK, eBay UK, and directly from the Vetwell Scientific website at vetwellscientific.co.uk. The 300 tablet pack on Amazon is the most popular size and often the best value.
