Hip and Joint Hero Daily Meal Topper

Hip and Joint Hero Daily Meal Topper

UPDOG
UPDOG Hip and Joint Hero is a powdered daily supplement made in Brisbane from human-grade ingredients, formulated to support joint mobility and comfort in dogs experiencing stiffness or arthritis symptoms. The formula combines glucosamine and bovine chondroitin with boswellia extract, MSM, green-lipped mussel, and turmeric — a combination of conventional joint-support compounds alongside herbal anti-inflammatories. It contains both crustacean-derived glucosamine and bovine chondroitin, so it may not suit dogs with shellfish or beef sensitivities. Suitable for dogs aged 12 months and over only, which distinguishes it from the rest of the UPDOG range.
