FAQs

What is UC-II®?

UC-II® (undenatured type II collagen) is a powerful, unique form of collagen that comes from chicken cartilage. Unlike typical joint supplement ingredients, UC-II® acts directly on the immune system, helping to maintain healthy joints.

How are Jope Hip & Joint Dog Chews different from other products?

The average Hip & Joint supplements use chondroitin & glucosamine, which several studies identify as ineffective. Most veterinarians have stopped recommending them.

Jope Hip & Joint Dog Chews are made with the most effective active ingredients for supplements currently on the market: omega 3 and UC-II®. You can read our article here for more detailed information.

How is UC-II® different from chondroitin and glucosamine?

UC-II® is an innovative ingredient proven to be 59% more effective at reducing joint pain than chondroitin and glucosamine. Over 20 studies in dogs and humans support the efficacy of UC-II® in improving mobility. In addition, UC-II® prevents the immune system from deteriorating the joint's cartilage and maintains healthy joint metabolism.

UC-II® is one of the two supplements to show positive objective results in studies of dogs with joint pain.

Note: Objective studies are called "Plate-force studies," where a particular device is used to objectively assess a dog's improvement.

When will I see results?

With regular use, you should start to see a healthier, happier pup in 3 weeks. However, it may take 8-12 weeks to see full, optimal results.

We suggest you give these chews for at least 4 consecutive months. Osteoarthritis is a progressive, chronic and irreversible disease, so long-term, daily use will keep your dog feeling their best.

What is the science behind the ingredients in Jope?

We mindfully formulated our Jope Hip & Joint chews using the most effective ingredients supported by over 85 studies. You can read more about them here: UC-II®,omega-3, and curcumin.

Will my dog like the taste of Jope Hip & Joint Dog Chews?

Jope chews have a natural chicken flavor, from organic chicken, that dogs love. They won’t even realize how healthy they are for them.

What if my pup and I don’t like them?

We obsessed over finding the most effective formula and the best taste. We’re so confident that they’ll work for you and your dog, that we offer a 30-day no questions asked, money-back guarantee. If Jope Hip & Joint Dog Chews don't meet your expectations, email us at christine@petjope.com for a full refund.

Are there any precautions I should take before giving my dog Jope?

Always consult with your veterinarian before starting a new supplement. Jope has not been studied for use in puppies, pregnant or lactating dogs. Stop use and consult your veterinarian if your pet's condition worsens or does not improve.
