From stiffness to playfulness
What to expect with JointShield
JointShield Essential is formulated to support mobility, ease stiffness, and keep your dog doing what they love - longer.
Week 1-2
Easier mornings. Less stiffness.
In the first couple of weeks, you may notice your dog getting up a little more easily in the mornings or after a nap. Movement might seem smoother, and that initial stiffness after rest can start to ease. These subtle signs often mean the ingredients are beginning to do their job.
Week 3-4
More energy. Playful behaviour returning.
As consistency continues, your dog may start rediscovering their spark - greeting you at the door with a little more bounce, showing more interest in walks, or engaging in play they’d been avoiding. Increased mobility often brings a noticeable shift in mood and activity levels.
Ongoing
Improved joint function. Better quality of life.
With daily use, JointShield helps support long-term joint health and comfort. Over time, you’re likely to see better flexibility, sustained energy, and a more active, joyful companion. Prevention becomes part of the routine, not just the response to a problem.
Progress is Personal
Every Dog is Different.
All dogs respond at their own pace. Some show signs of improvement within a week, while others may take longer depending on age, existing conditions, and lifestyle. What matters most is consistency - because proactive care today sets the foundation for healthier movement tomorrow.

A staggering 80% of dogs will develop osteoarthritis by the age of eight, with some showing signs as early as one year old.

JointShield FAQs
Is JointShield Essential suitable for all dog breeds and sizes?
Yes. JointShield is formulated to support joint health in dogs of all sizes and breeds. Simply follow the dosing guide based on your dog’s weight.
Can I give JointShield to puppies or senior dogs?
Yes. It’s gentle enough for puppies over 12 weeks and effective for aging dogs who may be starting to slow down. Early support is always better than waiting for issues to progress.
How do I give it to my dog?
Just scoop the recommended amount into your dog’s food once a day. It’s a neutral-tasting powder that blends well with wet or dry food.
Can I mix this with raw food?
Yes, you can mix it with any food that you offer your pet.
How long before I see results?
Most dog parents notice improvements in mobility and comfort within 2–4 weeks of consistent use. Results may vary depending on your dog’s age and condition.
My dog is picky. Will they eat it?
JointShield is naturally palatable and has no overpowering smell or taste. For extra-fussy dogs, mixing it with a spoonful of yogurt, broth, or wet food helps ensure it’s fully consumed.
What if my dog still does not like it?
In such an unlikely situation please contact us within 30 days of purchase and we will offer you a full refund.
Does this replace the need for prescription medication?
No. JointShield is a complementary supplement, not a substitute for veterinary care. Always consult your vet if your dog is in visible pain or has an existing joint condition.
Are there any side effects?
JointShield is made from high-quality, human-grade ingredients and is well tolerated by most dogs. If your dog has allergies or is on medication, we recommend checking with your vet first.
Is this safe to use with other supplements?
In most cases, yes. Our supplement line is designed to work well together, so you can easily combine JointShield with other supplements offered by Vetanica. Aways double-check with your vet if your dog is on multiple supplements, especially those with overlapping ingredients or from other companies.
How long does one pouch last?
That depends on your dog’s size:
Small dog (5–10kg): ~2 months
Medium dog (10–20kg): ~1 month
Large dog (20kg+): ~3 weeks
Is this vet-approved?
Yes. JointShield is formulated with input from animal health experts and only includes evidence-backed ingredients that are commonly recommended by veterinarians.
Does it contain chondroitin?
No. We know there are supplements in the market that contain chondroitin however we have purposely left it out and instead used a combination of Glucosamine, MSM and green-lipped mussel, along with other compounds. These work synergistically and allow for a more concentrated, filler-free formula.
What’s the scoop size and dosage?
One scoop = 3g. Dosage varies by dog’s weight. A feeding guide is printed on the pouch and available on the product page.
My dog is still young. Should I wait?
Not at all. Joint health issues often develop silently over time. JointShield is gentle and safe for dogs over 6 months old and helps support long-term joint function before problems arise.
What’s the difference between JointShield and other joint supplements?
Many brands use fillers, animal by-products, or outdated formulas. JointShield includes only clinically proven actives, no unnecessary additives, and is designed for preventative daily use - not just treatment.
I am using another joint supplement brand. Is it easy to transition to JointShield?
Of course. You can simply stop the other brand and introduce JointShield. There is no transition required.
Total Joint Duo
This duo combines JointShield for daily mobility support with VitaShield, a comprehensive multivitamin designed to fill nutritional gaps and promote long-term wellbeing.
From flexibility to immunity - it’s everything your dog needs to feel their best, every day.
