Progress You Can See. Comfort They Can Feel.
As practicing vets, we were frustrated by how many joint supplements looked good on the label but didn’t hold up in real life. So we created one that would be based on clinical studies and our own experience.
“Our goal was simple: create a supplement we’d feel proud to recommend in the exam room, and safe giving to our own dogs at home.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is UC-II®?
What is UC-II®?
UC-II®, or undenatured type two collagen, is new to the veterinary supplement space and is different from other collagens and the commonly found association of chondroitin and glucosamine because of its unique way of interacting with the immune system to help maintain normal inflammatory pathways and support cartilage and connective tissues.
Multiple studies have shown that UC-II® is more effective than chondroitin and glucosamine for joint health. UC-II® has also been shown to improve joint health by +81% compared to a placebo.
