Hip & Joint 2.0 Frequently Asked Questions

Hip & Joint 2.0 is a daily chew designed to support joint health and mobility in active and aging dogs. It’s formulated to help maintain comfortable movement, flexibility, and overall joint function as dogs age or stay physically active.

Hip & Joint 2.0 was built with a higher bar. Instead of trendy ingredients or vague blends, we focused on purposeful ingredients, clear inclusion levels, and formulations developed alongside veterinary and nutrition experts.

We looked closely at what was missing in this category—under-dosed formulas, confusing claims, and little transparency—and made intentional choices to do better. The result is a daily chew designed to support joint health and mobility with clarity, care, and integrity.

Simply put: this is the supplement we wanted for our own dog, made with the same rigor we expect from products that truly matter.

The formula supports several systems involved in joint function, including joint lubrication, connective tissue health, and maintenance of a healthy inflammatory response. It’s designed for consistent daily use as part of a long-term approach to joint health, not as a medication or quick fix.

Daily dosage based on weight:

○ Up to 25 lbs: 1 chew

○ 26–75 lbs: 2 chews

○ Over 75 lbs: 3 chews

● Chews may be given all at once or split throughout the day.

Results are gradual. Many pet parents notice improvements in ease of movement or stiffness after about 4 weeks of consistent daily use. Individual results vary based on age, activity level, and overall health.

Hip & Joint 2.0 is intended for adult dogs, generally 12 months and older, once they’ve reached full skeletal maturity. Puppies should only use joint supplements if recommended by a veterinarian.

The natural scent comes from the Omega-3 fatty acids, which are sourced from anchovy oil. We prioritize ingredient integrity over masking aromas with artificial flavors. A mild fishy smell is normal and expected.

Our formula contains hydrolyzed chicken liver, not intact chicken protein, included at a minimal level in the inactive portion of the chew.

Hydrolyzed protein is broken down into very small peptides through a specialized process.
Because the protein is “pre-digested” into smaller fragments, it is much less likely to trigger an immune response compared to whole chicken ingredients.

That said, every dog is different. While many dogs with chicken sensitivities tolerate hydrolyzed protein well, we always recommend speaking with your veterinarian if your dog has a confirmed or severe chicken allergy.

We use hydrolyzed chicken liver strictly for palatability and digestibility, not as a primary protein source.

If you have specific concerns, our team is always happy to help.

The chews are formulated without wheat, corn, or soy. They do contain fish-derived ingredients and hydrolyzed chicken protein. If your dog has known sensitivities, review the ingredient list and consult your veterinarian.

Yes. Hip & Joint 2.0 is formulated for daily use as part of a long-term wellness routine. If your dog has a medical condition or is taking medication, consult your veterinarian before use.

Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Reseal the bag tightly after each use. No refrigeration required.

Hip & Joint 2.0 Chews are made in the USA. Our manufacturing facility meets some of the highest quality and safety standards in the pet health industry, certified by NASC and SQF, and complies with APHIS and FAMI-QS guidelines. These are standards that require strict quality controls, traceability, and regular third-party audits.

Absolutely. And the most important part of our formulation starts with what we didn’t include.

We intentionally left out two ingredients found in many dog joint supplements: glucosamine and chondroitin.

Not because they’re unsafe,  but because peer-reviewed studies show they do not meaningfully improve pain, mobility, or joint function in dogs with joint discomfort. Yet they’re still everywhere because they’re cheap to source, easy to market, and familiar to pet parents.

Here is the current peer-reviewed
research that informed this decision:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36142319/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35958315/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36816197/

So instead of relying on outdated, low-signal ingredients, we rebuilt our formula around compounds with clearer biological roles and stronger scientific support.

Every ingredient below was chosen because it plays a direct, functional role in joint structure, lubrication, inflammation balance, or tissue resilience.  And because the science behind it is active, modern, and measurable.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids (200 mg EPA + DHA)

Peer-reviewed research →

Omega-3s are structural fatty acids that integrate directly into joint tissues and inflammatory pathways. EPA and DHA are widely studied for supporting a healthy inflammatory response and connective tissue integrity.

Why it matters: Our EPA + DHA levels are among the highest in a chew, because dose actually matters.

Green-Lipped Mussel

Peer-reviewed research →

Green-lipped mussel provides a naturally occurring matrix of omega fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans, and trace nutrients associated with joint structure and comfort.

Why it matters: It supports flexibility and range of motion through multiple complementary mechanisms, not a single legacy compound.

Krill Meal

Peer-reviewed research →

Krill delivers omega-3s in phospholipid form, which may improve utilization within tissues compared to triglyceride forms.

Why it matters: Better delivery means better functional support at the joint level, plus antioxidant activity.

Hyaluronic Acid

Peer-reviewed research →

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of synovial fluid and connective tissue.

Why it matters: It supports lubrication, shock absorption, and smooth joint movement.
These are functions glucosamine was originally assumed to support, but never reliably proved to.

Astaxanthin

Peer-reviewed research →

Astaxanthin is a potent marine-derived antioxidant.

Why it matters: It helps protect joint and muscle cells from oxidative stress associated with normal activity and aging, supporting long-term mobility.

Ashwagandha

Peer-reviewed research →

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic botanical studied for its role in physical resilience and muscle function.

Why it matters: Joint health isn’t just cartilage. Muscle support and stress response play a real role in how dogs move and age.

Zinc

Peer-reviewed research →

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in connective tissue formation and cellular metabolism.

Why it matters: It supports cartilage integrity and normal tissue repair as part of long-term joint structure maintenance.

Reviews

This is saving my dog!

"I ordered the joint supplement after hearing how similar Maxine’s case was to my dogs. And after just one month I saw difference! Now a few months in she’s running like a puppy again…at almost 8! She swims, she runs, she jumps (within reason!) and her elbow displaysia and arthritis is nonexistent. This stuff literally is saving my dogs life and I am forever grateful for it. Customer for life!"

I am giving Maggie Mae

"I am giving Maggie Mae a Hip & Joint 2. 0 at 8 am each day as a "treat" after returning from the dog park. I am not sure what time of day is recommended. Maggie is 14 years and 8 months old. She is on Day 8 of Little Chonk, and it is hard to gauge her progress because she doesn't move much."

Thomas B. (5/5)

Good quality product

"Being on auto ship for every 2 months is perfect. My corgi is on the smaller side (20. 4lbs) and is 5 years old now. He still has fantastic energy but I can see him slow down now. I constantly worry about his back and joints in general and knowing there is a company that truly cares for pets is settling. My only issue with the product is the bag itself, the seal part tears off the bag very easily so I have to re-store the product elsewhere. Maybe if they came out with a little refillable container in the future to help with this?? Not too big of a deal really just some insight. Love little chonk!"

Sean (5/5)

keeps my active dog active without pain!

"Toast is almost seven years old, and recently after her favorite activities (long walks, going to the beach) she’s been a little stiff the next day. After starting her on this supplement a few months ago, she hasn’t seemed to be sore/stiff at all! We went on a nine-mile backpacking trip and I was so nervous that she wouldn’t be able to keep up - turns out I had to keep up with her. Absolutely recommend this for your doggies to keep them doing what they love :)"

Kayleigh L. (5/5)

We called this the magic

"We called this the magic treat in our household. Our four year-old cowboy corgi Dixon has gotten so much pain relief, and anxiety, relief from this one supplement it really can’t be put into words !thank you for making this supplement. Our family feels so excited that we found it, and Dixon is happy to be back to playing with his brother!"

Nicole w. (5/5)

My dog is almost 13,

"My dog is almost 13, she tore her ACL. Due to her age, she wasn't a candidate for ACL surgery. I was devastated to think that she would be in pain and limping for the rest of her life! I follow Maxine on Instagram, and saw the info about the hip and joint "treats", figured it was worth a try. She's almost done with her first bag and I am so happy to say there is a definite change! She limps less and seems almost like her old self. It wasn't a cure, but I am so happy for the improvement I see!! Thank you!!"

Michelle C. (5/5)

I figured it would take

"I figured it would take a bit to start seeing signs of this supplement working, like maybe a few months or something…. but we haven’t even gone through a whole bag, barely half a bag (my dog takes 2 chews/day—so 1 bag lasts 1 month), and my dog, Zeus (our 8 y/o 80lbs Great Pyrenees/Boxer/Retriever Mix), has literally shown a significant improvement when playing with our 5 y/o 74lbs Great Dane/Rottweiler/Great Pyrenees Mix!! He used to have to pause before getting up when he was knocked down, but now he immediately jumps up and starts to either run after his housemate or make zoomies running away in a playful mood! 🥹 Zeus doesn’t have arthritis but he is getting up there in age and is a bigger breed… I was just looking for something more natural and this is 100% it!!! Thank you Little Chonk for helping Zeus out and eventually (when we have the finances) we’ll be starting our other fur baby on this supplement along with Zeus!! 😍"

Bethany D. (5/5)

I'm very pleased with Bella's

"I'm very pleased with Bella's results. With having arthritis as early as six due to an injury she is on medication but struggled just to get up from a laying down position to sitting up to walk. I've noticed in the short time she's been taking Little Chonk she is much more flexible without struggling. I'm thrilled at the results and will continue giving her the supplement"

June S. (5/5)

I’m giving it to my

"I’m giving it to my 9 year old grand puppy. She’s a corgi as well. I noticed she was having trouble getting up on the couch and stairs. She’s a stubborn girl and won’t let me help her very often. I got the chews and we haven’t had them for quite a month yet but I have seen some improvement. She’s getting up the stairs a little easier. I’m looking forward to seeing how much more she will improve once she’s been on it for some time. If it’s improved her within a couple of weeks, How much more improvement will she make at the month mark. I’m very pleased. Thank you chonk! 😊"

Samantha S. (5/5)

I feel so good giving

"I feel so good giving this to my 4 year old Red Heeler/Malinois lovedog. It’s for preventative measures as he’s pretty active and climbs a lot of stairs everyday up and down our three story walk up. I want to protect his joints and overall health as best I can. Also eagerly awaiting the large backpacks to be in stock :)"
