Why It Matters
Large breed dogs like Bullmastiffs and Boerboels carry more weight on their joints, making them more prone to stiffness, inflammation, and arthritis as they age.
Early support = better mobility, less pain, and a longer active life.
What Supplements Help?
Glucosamine + Chondroitin: Helps protect joint cartilage and reduce inflammation (From 12
months old)
Omega-3 Oil: Fights inflammation, improves mobility, supports heart health (Any age - especially with arthritis)
Green-lipped Mussel / MSM: Natural anti-inflammatories for extra flexibility (As needed, vet-guided)
Pro Tip: For dogs with arthritis or chronic joint issues, a high-quality Omega-3 oil paired with a joint supplement isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
Early Signs of Joint Stress
- Slower to rise or lie down

- Reluctant to jump or climb
- Morning stiffness
- Less interest in walks or play
Vet-Approved Joint Care Tips
- Use supplements proactively, not reactively
- Keep your dog at a healthy weight to reduce pressure on joints
- Provide regular low-impact exercise (walks, swimming, gentle play)
