01 Why dose matters
The number that counts is per serving, not per label.
Plenty of soft chews print a dozen impressive-sounding ingredients, include them at token amounts, and ask you to feed up to four chews a day. Read the feeding guide before the ingredient list — that is where the real number is.

Comparison figures are taken from the published feeding guides and ingredient panels of widely sold UK hip & joint soft chews at the time of writing. Check the label on whatever you are feeding — the numbers are always there, usually in the smallest type on the tub.

03 Feeding guide
By bodyweight. Fed by hand or with food.
Complementary pet food for dogs. Introduce gradually over the first few days. One tub covers a small dog for most of a year and a large dog for a little over two months.
Small — up to 10 kg
1 chew daily
A 200-chew tub lasts up to 200 days
Medium — 10–25 kg
2 chews daily
A 200-chew tub lasts up to 100 days
Large — 25 kg and over
3 chews daily
A 200-chew tub lasts around 66 days
Most UK hip & joint tubs hold 90–120 chews. VETIX® holds 200 — 67% more than a standard 120-chew tub — because joint support only does anything if it is fed every day for months, and a tub that runs out in eight weeks is the most common reason people stop.
04 Three ways to feed
Most dogs take it as a treat. The rest are covered.
By hand
A soft chicken-flavour chew, given the way you'd give any treat. This is how most dogs take it.
Mixed with food
Drop the chews straight into the bowl with their usual meal. No routine to remember beyond feeding time.
Crushed
For a properly fussy dog, break or crush the chew over wet or dry food so it disappears into the meal.
05 Built for
Dogs that actually use their joints.
Daily mileage, bodyweight or age — VETIX® was formulated around the dogs where one of those three is always the limiting factor.
Sporting dogs
Agility, canicross, flyball and dock diving — repeated jumping, turning and landing.
Large breeds
Labradors, shepherds, retrievers and rottweilers, where bodyweight alone is the load on the joint.
Ageing dogs
Older dogs whose owners want to support everyday mobility — the stairs, the car boot, the second half of the walk.
06 Questions
Straight answers.
How many chews does my dog need?
By bodyweight: one chew a day up to 10 kg, two chews from 10–25 kg, three chews over 25 kg. A 200-chew tub therefore lasts roughly 200, 100 or 66 days.
How long before I see anything?
Joint supplements are cumulative rather than a quick fix. Feed consistently and give it a full tub before you form a view. If your dog's mobility concerns you, speak to your vet — a supplement is not a substitute for veterinary advice.
What does it taste like, and will a fussy dog take it?
Chicken flavour, soft-chew texture. Most dogs take them straight from the hand as a treat. If yours is particularly fussy, crush the chew over wet or dry food for the first few days.
Where is VETIX® made?
VETIX® is a UK brand and the formula was developed in the UK with veterinary and nutritional input. Manufacture is carried out at a GMP-certified facility, with batch testing and a certificate of analysis on every production lot. The country of origin is printed on the tub and stated on the Amazon listing.
Can I give it alongside other supplements or medication?
Check with your veterinary surgeon first if your dog is pregnant, lactating, receiving medication or under veterinary care. VETIX® is a complementary pet food for dogs and is not suitable for cats.
