Every milligram printed on the pack. Six actives at the doses used in the published dog trials. 60-day money-back if it doesn't work.
HIP & JOINT SOFT CHEWS
£34.99
Feeding Guide
Daily dose by weight: small dogs (under 10kg) one chew, medium (10 to 25kg) one chew, large (25 to 45kg) two chews, giant (over 45kg) two chews. Daily with food. Benefits compound over 90 days per the published dog trials. Stopping causes relapse within 30 days, so the protocol is daily on purpose.
Designation
Complementary pet food for dogs. Not a veterinary medicine. Always tell your vet what you're feeding.
Allergens
Contains crustacean shellfish (glucosamine HCl source) and chicken (UC-II Collagen source, chicken flavouring). Not suitable for dogs with shellfish or chicken allergies.

WHAT'S INSIDE
Six actives. Full doses. No hiding.
Every milligram printed on the front of the pouch. No proprietary blends, no co-pilot ingredients riding for free. Doses below are per chew, served once daily.

Chondroitin Sulfate
200 mgHolds water in cartilage, blocks enzymes that break it down. Synergistic with glucosamine; the two are dosed together for a reason.
003
/
UC-II Collagen
40 mgUndenatured type II collagen. Trains the gut to stop attacking joint tissue. Studied at 10 mg/day in dogs. Our 40 mg sits comfortably above.
004
/
MSM
400 mgSulfur donor for connective tissue. Calms post-exercise inflammation without sedation.
005
/
Hyaluronic Acid
20 mgNative joint lubricant. Restores synovial fluid viscosity so motion runs quieter.

Green-Lipped Mussel
100 mgOmega-3 + ETA pathway. Marine source of inflammation control with a long shelf of dog-trial data behind it.

WHEN TO EXPECT RESULTS
Don't look for overnight.
Joint protocols load. The early stations are real but quiet. The peak lands at Day 120. The plateau holds if you stay on the daily dose.
14
LOAD · DAY 14
Active ingredients saturate the gut and bloodstream. Nothing visible yet. Stay the course.
30
EARLY SIGNS · DAY 30
First measurable changes. Owners report faster off the sofa, less hesitation on stairs.
90
THE TURN · DAY 90
Pain-on-manipulation scores drop in published trials. Your dog feels it before they show it.
120
PEAK · DAY 120
Full benefit lands. Steadier on walks, faster recovery between work sessions, push back on the leg.
150+
BASELINE · DAY 150+
Plateau holds at the new normal. Withdraw the dose and benefit fades within 30 days.
§ 05
180-DAY BENEFIT CURVE
Most brands end at Day 90. The studies don't.
Glucosamine-chondroitin marketing usually quits at Day 90 because that's where the test windows close. The peer-reviewed UC-II dog work runs longer. Peak observable benefit lands at Day 120, with the plateau holding through Day 150. That's the protocol we're building you toward.

§ 06
HOW IT SHOWS UP
Four pillars of joint work.
The chew doesn't do one thing. Each active hits a different layer of the joint system. Together they cover the work end-to-end.
PILLAR 01
MOBILITY
Range of motion through the joint capsule. Owners notice it as the dog being willing to do things it had quietly stopped doing.
PILLAR 02
LUBRICATION
Synovial fluid viscosity restored by hyaluronic acid. The joint runs quieter. Less click, less grind.
PILLAR 03
RECOVERY
Faster bounce between work sessions. MSM and green-lipped mussel lower the inflammatory cost of the day's load.
PILLAR 04
RESILIENCE
Cartilage matrix density over time. The protocol pays dividends in year two, not just month two.
§ 07
ON THE PROTOCOL
What you'll notice. What to watch for.
Outcomes owners report once the protocol settles in, alongside four honest notes about what's normal on the curve. None of this is a guarantee. Dogs are not labs.
FROM DAILY USE
What you might actually notice.
-
OBS 01
FASTER OFF THE SOFA
First-step latency drops. The pause before the move shortens.
-
OBS 02
LESS HESITATION ON STAIRS
Stair tops and bottoms stop being decisions.
-
OBS 03
MORE PUSH OFF THE BACK LEG
Drive returns. The back end re-engages on the run.
-
OBS 04
STEADIER ON LONG WALKS
Pacing holds past minute 40. No mid-walk drop-off.
-
OBS 05
BETTER RECOVERY MORNING
Day-after stiffness fades. The bounce-back compounds.
HONEST NOTES
What to look out for.
-
LOOSE STOOLS FIRST 5 TO 7 DAYS
A small percentage of dogs adjust to the active ingredients via softer stool. It clears within a week. If it doesn't, halve the dose for three days, then return to full.
-
IMPROVEMENT ISN'T LINEAR
Some weeks plateau. The curve in § 05 is an aggregate, not your dog's schedule. Trust the 120-day window, not the Tuesday morning.
-
VET INPUT IF DIAGNOSED
If your dog has a diagnosed orthopaedic condition, talk to your vet before starting. We complement clinical care. We don't replace it.
-
DAILY PROTOCOL, NOT A FIX-IT PILL
Stop the dose and the benefit fades within 30 days per published work. This is groceries, not a one-shot treatment.
§
PROTOCOL EVIDENCE
Before. After.
Same dog. The posture you can see is the posture you're protecting. Both portraits taken in the studio, both lit the same way, both rendered honestly.
BEFORE
DAY 0
Head low, weight shifted forward, the back end quietly carrying less than its share. Owners read this as 'just getting older.'
DAY 120
PEAK ON PROTOCOL
Head high, weight even across all four, the back end engaged again. The same dog, after the protocol has had time to land.
§ 08
HOW IT WORKS
From pouch to paw in three stages.
01
GUT
ABSORPTION
Soft-chew matrix delivers the actives through the small intestine. UC-II survives undenatured because the soft chew avoids the heat treatments that break Type II collagen.
02
SERUM
JOINT MATRIX SATURATION
Glucosamine and chondroitin reach the joint capsule via serum. They become substrate for cartilage matrix repair. The wait between Day 14 and Day 90 is this saturation phase.
03
JOINT
CARTILAGE REMODELLING
UC-II trains gut-associated lymphoid tissue to stop attacking joint collagen. Inflammation drops. Cartilage rebuild outpaces breakdown. Peak benefit at Day 120.

Back on the stairs without the morning pause. He used to wait at the bottom for a beat. Now he just goes.

§ 10
QUESTIONS WE HEAR
Straight answers.
How fast should I expect my dog to feel different?
First measurable signs land around Day 30. Peak benefit at Day 120. The 14-day Load and the 90-day Turn are real but quiet stations. Trust the curve at § 05.
Why is UC-II only 40 mg when other formulas dose higher?
UC-II in the published canine work tops out around 10 mg/day. Our 40 mg is the comfortable headroom above the studied dose. Going much higher buys diminishing returns and risks gut tolerance.
What happens if I stop after 6 months?
The benefit fades within 30 days of withdrawal per the published trial work. This is a daily protocol, not a course of treatment.
Can puppies take it?
Recommended for dogs aged 12 months and older. For younger dogs, ask your vet first. Joint development under 12 months is still active and dosing has different priorities.
What does the 60-day guarantee cover?
If you don't see better joints in 60 days of daily use, we refund the order. No bag-return requirement, no clinical-evidence requirement. Email info@woofcore.uk with your order number.
Can I cancel a subscription anytime?
Yes. Skip, pause, or cancel from the customer portal at any time. No phone call, no email back-and-forth.

“First-step latency cut in half”
Around Day 35 I noticed she stopped pausing at the bottom of the stairs. By Day 60 she was offering to come up before I called her. Subtle but real.

“Stopped favouring the right leg”
Working dog, 8 years on the same patch. He'd been guarding the right hip on long days. Around month three the limp dropped out entirely. We're sticking with it.

Honest review. First three weeks I nearly stopped. Halved the dose for a few days like the box says and she settled. Glad I held on, big change by month four.
