YuMOVE works, but it is not cheap, and the price you pay depends far more on how you buy it than where. The same tablets can cost noticeably more or less depending on pack size, subscribe-and-save, and whether you are restocking the small monthly tub or buying in bulk. Here is how to pay the least for it in the UK without cutting the dose or gambling on dodgy stock.
Start from Lintbells' own RRP, because that is the number every retailer is discounting against. These are the direct prices at yumove.co.uk, checked on 4 September 2026, with the per-tablet figure worked out from them.
| Pack | Joint Support (Adult) | Per tablet | Joint Support PLUS | Per tablet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 tablets | £18.99 | 63p | £19.99 | 67p |
| 60 tablets | £28.99 | 48p | £31.99 | 53p |
| 90 tablets | £35.99 | 40p | £44.99 | 50p |
| 120 tablets | £42.99 | 36p | £53.99 | 45p |
| 300 tablets | £90.00 | 30p | £100.00 | 33p |
The 300-tablet box costs less than half per tablet what the 30 costs. That is the single biggest saving available on this product, and it happens before any retailer discount. Two caveats: PLUS is sold only at yumove.co.uk, so there is no Amazon price to compare it against, and PLUS Max runs from £24.99 for 30 up to £65.99 for 120.
Then work out what your dog actually gets through. Lintbells sizes the packs by weight: a dog up to 15kg is on one tablet a day, 16–30kg two, 31–45kg three and over 45kg four. So the 300-tablet box is ten months for a terrier and two and a half for a Great Dane — check the expiry date before buying big for a small dog.
Three things move the price. Pack size is the big one: the cost per tablet drops sharply as you go from the small monthly tub to the large multipacks. Subscribe-and-save on Amazon, and Lintbells' own subscription, take another slice off, usually 10 to 15 percent, and you can cancel once you have a stockpile. Finally, the retailer matters less than people think. Lintbells' own price is the benchmark; Amazon, Pets at Home, VioVet and the vet counter all discount against it, so a thirty-second check before you commit is worth it.
The trap is judging by the tub price on the shelf. A small tub looks cheap and works out dear. Always compare the cost per day at your dog's weight, because a large dog gets through tablets far faster than a terrier and the maths changes completely.
For an adult dog with mild stiffness, standard Joint Care is the right product and the cheapest to run. Buy the largest multipack sized for your dog (small, medium or large breed), set it to subscribe-and-save, and cancel the subscription once you have a few months in the cupboard if you prefer. Skip the single monthly tub unless you are only trialling it.
Older and stiffer dogs generally need YuMOVE PLUS, the higher-strength formula and the one Lintbells reports trial data for in dogs with confirmed osteoarthritis. PLUS costs more per tablet, so the saving from buying big matters even more here. PLUS is sold only at yumove.co.uk, so the cheapest sensible route is the 300-tablet box direct (£100, 33p a tablet), or the 120 (£53.99) if you cannot use 300 before the expiry date.
Resist the temptation to buy the cheaper standard formula to save money for a genuinely arthritic dog. PLUS exists because the standard dose often is not enough for that dog, and underdosing an older dog to save a few pounds usually just means the supplement does not work. If budget is the real problem, a cheaper but still well-dosed rival can beat an underdosed YuMOVE; see our YuMOVE alternatives guide.
If you have not used YuMOVE before, a smaller starter or trial size is the low-risk way in. You confirm your dog will actually eat it and tolerate the green-lipped mussel before you spend on a big multipack, and every YuMOVE carries a money-back guarantee on top of that. Once you know it suits your dog, switch to the bulk-and-subscribe approach above for the real savings.
The lowest price per tablet is the largest pack you can use before it expires, with a subscription discount on top: Amazon or Lintbells for standard Joint Support, Lintbells only for PLUS. Buying the small monthly tub repeatedly is the most expensive way to do it. Compare the cost per day at your dog's weight rather than the headline tub price, because pack sizes and dosing differ.
Senior dogs usually need YuMOVE PLUS, the higher-strength formula, which costs more per tablet than standard Joint Care. PLUS is sold only at yumove.co.uk, so the cheapest route is the largest box you can use before it expires, on Lintbells' subscription. It is worth it: PLUS is the formula Lintbells reports trial data for in arthritic dogs, so paying for the standard version to save money can be a false economy for a stiff older dog.
Lintbells and some retailers offer smaller starter or trial sizes so you can test tolerance and palatability before committing to a big multipack. Given every YuMOVE also carries a money-back guarantee, a trial size is a low-risk way to see whether your dog responds before you buy in bulk.
For standard Joint Support, Amazon and Lintbells direct are usually within a pound of each other on the big packs once a subscription discount is applied; PLUS is not sold on Amazon at all. Vets and veterinary retailers sometimes match or beat it on specific lines, so it is worth a quick check. Always look at the expiry date when buying from third-party sellers, and avoid unusually cheap listings from unknown sellers.
