Hip & joint health

At Jope, we care about your fur baby's well-being. We want to ensure every pet (dog and cat) lives a happy and pain-free life. So we want to give you the tools to help keep your senior dog moving with three simple veterinarian tips. Frequency and consistency in exercises are fundamental to healthy mobility.
