YuMOVE Supplements for Cats:
About YuMOVE
When you hear people talking about YuMOVE, you might think of the popular joint supplements, which is perhaps what the brand is most known for. However, it's so much more than the name suggests.
YuMOVE is a team of vets, nutritionists, scientists and pet lovers who've worked together to develop unique ingredient complexes that are carefully designed to target specific areas of pet wellbeing. The company was founded in 2006 by Dr John Howie and John Davis, who spotted a need for pet supplements that were effective and affordable.
Today, YuMOVE is the UK's number 1 vet-recommended joint supplement brand (Lintbells Veterinary Tracker by Kynetec 2025) supporting over 2 million dogs a year. In 2024, YuMOVE joined forces with Vetnique, a US pet supplement company to help more pets on both sides of the pond live happy, healthy lives.
Why should you trust YuMOVE?
All products are:
Vet formulated.
Backed by science.

Amongst the YuMOVE range you'll find supplements for cats, dogs and horses. iMOVE Active is a joint supplement developed for humans to help you enjoy an active lifestyle with your pet - how pawsome is that?
As a blog that caters to felines, and having purchased YuMOVE for my own cats, let's take a look at what the brand has to offer our kitty companions.
How YuMOVE can benefit your cat's health:
Joint supplements.
Digestive support.
Dental support.
Calming supplements.
Supplements come in capsules, sachets, powder, paste and bites, depending on the product.
For dog parents, supplements are available for joint, digestive, dental, calming, skin and coat support; and multivitamins.
YuMOVE Supplements
⭐⭐⭐⭐
A unique combination of high-strength ingredients to maintain mobility, support joint structure and soothe joints with ActivEase® Complex Omega-3s.
Capsules can be opened and sprinkled or mixed into food. Suitable for cats aged 8 weeks +.
Active ingredients:
ActivEase® Green-lipped mussel - a premium blend of green-lipped mussel and hoki, providing a range of omega-3 fatty acids to help soothe joints.
Glucosamine - helps supply nutrients found in healthy joint structures to keep cartilage healthy and flexible.
Manganese - an essential trace element that supports the formation of GAGs, the building blocks of cartilage, and plays a key role in collagen production.
Hyaluronic acid - a building block of joint fluid, helping to lubricate and cushion joints so they can keep moving freely.
Vitamins C and E - an antioxidant duo that neutralises free radicals, helping to maintain healthy joints and keep your pet active and mobile.
Feedback from customers is overwhelmingly positive, with many cats being given a new lease of life after starting YuMOVE Joint Support. The only issue is due to the powder changing the smell of food and cats refusing it. On rare occasions, owners report their cats being sick.
YuMOVE Joint Support PLUS for cats is a high-strength joint supplement designed for older or senior cats (7 years+). It's packed with 20% more ActivEase® GLM than the regular formula and is available as capsules or bites.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
An easy-to-feed paste that helps to firm up poops and support gut recovery after an upset tummy. Made with fast-acting, scientifically backed ingredients, it contains pre and probiotics to help feed and stimulate the growth of good bacteria in your pet's tummy.
Use the markings on the syringe to deliver the correct amount of paste - no manual measuring. Suitable for cats aged 12 weeks +.
The downside to this method is that syringes are rather large and more tailored to dogs. As someone with small hands, I find it near impossible to administer pastes at the same time as securing a cat. However, you can easily squeeze it into a smaller syringe if necessary.
Ingredients:
Vegetable Oil (Soya), Pectin (7.2%)*, Chicory Inulin (source of Fructo-oligosaccharides) (6.2%)*, Yeast Extract (source of Manno-oligosaccharides) (6.2%)*, Dextrose*, Sucrose*, Rapeseed Oil. *Natural.
Digestive Support Rapid Probiotic Paste does what it says on the box, working quickly to settle upset tummies. Many users see instant reductions in diarrhoea and say it's much cheaper than veterinary medicines or gastrointestinal foods. It's described as having a plasticine-like smell, as is the case with a lot of digestive pastes; and the syringe is difficult to use, with a stiff plunger and large size.
*Always consult a vet if diarrhoea continues for more than 24 hours.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
A fast-acting powder that helps to firm up poos after a tummy upset. This useful store cupboard staple binds bacteria and toxins, tops up good bacteria and helps to get your pet's digestion back on track. The high-strength complex is packed with gut-supporting natural ingredients, including the unique ActivBio™ prebiotic and probiotic formula.
Powder can be sprinkled over food. Suitable for cats aged 12 weeks +.
Active ingredients:
3 prebiotics and 1 billion probiotic - a unique blend of 3 different scientifically proven prebiotics and 1 billion probiotic bacteria per sachet. It supports "good" bacteria and blocks "bad" bacteria to ensure a healthy digestive balance.
Bentonite - a special kind of clay that binds toxins so they safely pass through your pet’s digestive system.
Threonine - an essential amino acid that helps the cells in the intestine to produce the protective gut lining.
Linseed meal - a natural source of fibre rich in lignans and antioxidants to support healthy digestion.
Both digestive products are designed to support pets experiencing episodes of sudden loose stools. The main difference is how it's fed: the powder should be mixed into food and the paste is fed directly via a syringe. As with most things, it may come down to your cat's preferences and/or tolerance.
Having two fussy eaters of my own, they'll smell anything different a mile away and simply refuse their food. This is a drawback of powders in general, but they can usually be administered in a syringe with a drop of water. Many owners use it on an intermittent basis when cats show signs of tummy upsets, and it works just as effectively as the paste.
⭐⭐⭐
An easy-to-use meal topper that supports healthy gums, promotes oral health and fights plaque and tartar build-up. With natural ingredients, including clinically proven seaweed, pomegranate extract and postbiotics, it helps to keep teeth and gums in tip-top shape.
The powder should be sprinkled over food at mealtimes. Suitable for cats aged 6 months +.
Active Ingredients:
Natural seaweed - helps to reduce the build-up of plaque and tartar.
Postbiotics - supports the healthy balance of oral bacteria in the mouth to maintain gum health and fresh breath.
YuMOVE Dental Support Dental Powder is a little pricey but you only need a small amount, and customers state that one packet lasts for a long time. It receives positive feedback for older cats that are prone to bad breath and plaque.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Contains natural, scientifically backed ingredients that help cats with a nervous disposition to cope with stress. It's ideal for cats that suffer from separation anxiety or are fearful or other cats, strangers, new family members, visits to the vet, new situations and car travel.
Capsules can be opened and sprinkled or mixed into food. Suitable for cats aged 10 months +.
Active ingredients:
Lemon balm - helps with feelings of relaxation, soothing stress and encouraging calmer behaviour.
L-Tryptophan - an amino acid which is involved in the production of the hormone, serotonin.
GABA and L-Arginine - a unique combination that helps to maintain the calming pathways in the brain and support relaxation.
Fish protein hydrolysate - supports your pet's brain, helping calming signals to find the right spot.
B vitamins - play an important role in supporting your pet's overall health and brain function.
I used YuMOVE Calming Support on an ongoing basis for over a year while dealing with inter-cat aggression between my sibling cats. While they're not specifically targeted for conflict and fighting, they did play a role in keeping Simba calmer and therefore less reactive to Drax's bullying.
I believe it helped during the separation and reintroduction process, along with other calming aids like pheromone diffusers. The powder does have a strong fishy aroma so I mixed it with a drop of water and used a syringe to administer it.
