What is UC-II®?

Derived from chicken sternum cartilage, this type of collagen for dogs is called UC-II® and is clinically proven to improve joint health made of undenatured type II collagen. The type II collagen found in joint cartilage is crucial for cushioning, gliding, and mechanical strength. By supporting total joint function and cartilage preservation, UC-II® improves joint health. It is especially important for dogs who are ageing or have joint issues. Because it comes from natural sources, this type of collagen for dogs it's a great choice if you like holistic and more natural methods of promoting your dog's health.

UC-II Oil vs. UC-II Chews

Finding which product format is best for your dog will depend on various factors and what works best for your dog. 

Our UC-II oil is made with very few ingredients, which makes it great for dogs on restrictive diets due to allergies or weight gain. Our oil is also great if you like to give supplements around mealtime and like to avoid additional food intake. On the other hand, our delicious UC-II joint chews are easy and quick to administer and provide your dog with a delicious chew format to deliver UC-II. 

Signs of Dog Joint Pain 

As dog owners, we constantly want our dogs to be happy, confident, and active. They can experience joint pain for various reasons, including ageing, genetics, injuries, or underlying health conditions like dog arthritis. It's important to be attentive to your dog's behaviour and look for signs indicating joint pain. Common signs include:

• Change in Activity Level: A decrease in overall activity, such as becoming disinterested in playtime or walks, may indicate joint pain. Often a change in activity level may be partnered with an increase in sleep. Another indicator can be the amount of time they can engage in exercise. As dogs age, even short bursts of activity can cause discomfort. Finally, a speed reduction could indicate dog mobility issues. Dogs with arthritis can find it difficult to move quickly as their joints are inflamed and stiff. 

• Reluctance or Difficulty Moving: Dogs in pain may hesitate to move, especially if they know that movement causes discomfort. You may notice when your dog is inactive for some time, they are slow to get up and move. This is often a result of joint issues and stiffness. If your dog has trouble jumping onto furniture, climbing stairs, or navigating obstacles they previously handled easily, it could be due to joint pain.

• Limping or Favouring a Leg: If your dog is limping, holding up a leg, or favouring one side while walking, it could be a sign of joint discomfort or pain. Sometimes dogs may exhibit an altered or abnormal gait, such as a "bunny hopping" motion in the hind legs. 

• Behavioural Changes: Joint pain can make dogs irritable or more sensitive. If your dog seems unusually grumpy or reacts negatively when touched in certain areas, it could be a response to pain. In severe cases, dogs might vocalise their feeling through whining, whimpering, or even yelping when moving or being touched.

Joint Care Dog Oil FAQs

When will I start to see results? 

Studies investigating the benefits of UC-II® in dogs with arthritis have found you can start seeing results within 30 days, with an optimal and significant reduction in feelings of pain within 90 days.

Why should I be consistent with giving my dog UC-II®?

Because each dog is unique, we recommend administering UC-II® for the full 90-day period, or at least 30 days, before evaluating results. It is also critical to be consistent, as studies discovered that dogs indicated a relapse of some discomfort following a 30-day withdrawal period. UC-II®, like many other dog joint supplements, requires constant use over time to achieve noticeable and optimal outcomes.

Can I partner UC-II® with CBD? 

Yes, you can combine our UC-II® chews with CBD oil for dogs or CBD dog treats.  These two ingredients will work together with their bodies to help them feel their best. As CBD works quickly in the body, it can start providing support while UC-II® builds up in the body.

Can UC-II® be used with prescription-only medicines?

 Since UC-II® is made from natural ingredients, it is safe to use with prescription medication. However, if your dog is taking any arthritic or anti-inflammatory medication, it is always best to discuss it with your veterinarian.
