I've got a 11yr old lab that I used to feed Skinners with Joint Aid mixed into it at the factory but I've changed his diet to senior so looking for a joint supplement. I'm aware of Joint Aid and Yumove but suspect the pet supplement market is a bit like the human market where you can pay for a brand or get an unbranded version that does the same thing for much less e.g. Nurofen £5 or Ibuprofen £1

So good people of MSE what joint supplements/aids for dogs can you recommend?

What works for one dog doesn't always work for another.

It depends what you are looking for- a general supplement or for a specific reason.

Green Lipped Muscle can be effective. A glucosamine/chondroitin supplement can help.

I found products my Winston and Porter very good.

Dorwest Herbs al;so have good products.

I use Yumove for my older girl (the strongest one they do) and it definitely makes a difference. They often have money off offers as well.

You could try making your own golden paste.

Plenty of recipes online - one example

Golden Paste is  general tonic as well as anti inflammatory.  

I can strongly recommend you join the 'Turmeric User   Group'  on facebook. It was set up by a vet in Australis who spent a ling time researching using turmeric. There is a host of useful information advice available on that site. The admins are very knowledgeable.
