Max Strength is an all-in-one daily porridge for dogs. It combines four joint nutrients (glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and hyaluronic acid) with our full Nourish + C multivitamin and mineral blend, omega 3 and 6, and probiotics and prebiotics. Gluten and wheat free, made in the UK, from around 66p a day for a medium-sized dog.
Who it's for
Max Strength is a good choice if your dog is:
- a working dog: gundogs, herding dogs, search and rescue and more
- a sport or performance dog: agility, flyball, canicross, sled or detection work
- very active or athletic
- older and beginning to slow down or stiffen up
- one you'd like to give joint support and all-round nutrition in a single daily feed
Not sure which supplement is right?
- Max Strength: joint support plus our full Nourish + C multivitamin and mineral blend, omega 3 and 6, and probiotics, in one daily porridge.
- Max Strength Plus: the same porridge with 75mg serrapeptase, a natural enzyme, added.
- Hip & Joint Dog / Hip & Joint Dog PLUS: concentrated joint powders you add to your dog's usual food, with higher daily amounts of glucosamine and MSM.

Frequently asked questions
How is Max Strength different from Hip & Joint Dog?

Choose Max Strength for all-round nutrition in one, or Hip & Joint Dog if joint nutrients are your main focus.

They're the same porridge, but Max Strength Plus has 75mg of serrapeptase, a natural enzyme, added.
