Quick answer: Lily's Kitchen Joints & Mobility is a tablet with glucosamine, chondroitin, green-lipped mussel, Boswellia, a little hyaluronic acid and turmeric. Each tablet carries more glucosamine, chondroitin, green-lipped mussel and Boswellia than a MedPaw chew, but it has no MSM, small dogs get half tablets, it has no product reviews yet and there's no money-back guarantee. MedPaw is a soft chew with all six key joint actives, whole chews at every weight and a 60-day guarantee. For most dogs, and especially fussy ones, we'd recommend MedPaw Hip & Joint Chews.

Where Lily's Kitchen falls short
On paper, the Lily's Kitchen tablet is a decent formula. Its weak points are about proof, format and what happens if it doesn't suit your dog.
No reviews yet
The Joints & Mobility tablets launched in 2025. Ocado shows 0 reviews and Lily's Kitchen's own product page shows none, so there's no owner feedback on whether it helps or whether dogs take it happily. Our Lily's Kitchen joint supplement reviews page sets out everything we could find.
A tablet, often split in half
Dogs under 10kg get half a tablet a day, and dogs from 10 to 19kg half to one. The pack says to supervise your dog because tablets can be a choking hazard. MedPaw is a whole soft chew at every weight, given from your hand like a treat.
No MSM
Lily's Kitchen covers five of the six key joint actives. It leaves out MSM, which MedPaw includes at 185mg per chew. Read more on MSM for dogs.
No money-back guarantee
Lily's Kitchen's refund policy gives the standard 14 days to cancel, you pay return postage, and the refund can be reduced if you've opened a sealed container. A joint supplement needs six to eight weeks to judge. MedPaw gives you 60 days from delivery, for any reason, with nothing to send back.
Why Lily's Kitchen customers switch to MedPaw
Lily's Kitchen vs MedPaw on the issues that matter day to day
| The issue | Lily's Kitchen | MedPaw |
|---|---|---|
| Giving it every day | Tablet, halved for small dogs | Soft chew given from your hand like a treat; whole chews only |
| Breadth of formula | Five of the six key actives; no MSM | All six key joint actives, plus vitamins C and E and zinc |
| Trying it without risk | No guarantee; 14-day cancellation | 60-day money-back guarantee, nothing to send back |
| Owner feedback | No reviews yet | 60 days to judge it on your own dog |

Our recommendation: if your dog is fussy about tablets, you're tired of splitting them, or you want a proper guarantee before you commit, choose MedPaw. Give it six to eight weeks, and if you're not happy, email bark@medpaw.co.uk within 60 days of delivery for a refund. Try MedPaw Hip & Joint Chews.
When Lily's Kitchen might suit your dog instead
To be fair to Lily's Kitchen, it can be the better choice in some cases:
- You want more green-lipped mussel and Boswellia per day. At 25kg, one to two Lily's Kitchen tablets give 180 to 360mg green-lipped mussel and 75 to 150mg Boswellia concentrate, against 140 to 210mg and 60 to 90mg from 2 to 3 MedPaw chews. Glucosamine and chondroitin come out similar at the top of each range.
- Your dog takes tablets happily. If tablets aren't a problem, the format won't be either.
- Your dog is already on it and doing well. If it's working, there's no need to change.
Neither product suits a dog with a shellfish allergy, as both contain green-lipped mussel.
Switching from Lily's Kitchen to MedPaw
Swap rather than stack. Stop the Lily's Kitchen tablets and start MedPaw the next day, with no gap. Don't give both: they share glucosamine, chondroitin, green-lipped mussel, hyaluronic acid and Boswellia, and Lily's Kitchen's own pack says not to exceed the recommended serving. Follow the feeding guide on the tub, doubling the usual number of chews for the first three weeks. If your dog takes any medication, check with your vet first.
If nothing has worked so far
If your dog is still stiff or sore after a fair trial of any supplement, see your vet. They may suggest pain relief, weight loss or an omega-3 fish oil at a proper dose, which has the strongest evidence for dogs with arthritis. Read what you can safely give a dog for joint pain and the best fish oil for dogs' joints.

We don't recommend it. They share five key actives, so swap rather than stack. Stop Lily's Kitchen and start MedPaw the next day.

Yes. Stop the Lily's Kitchen tablets and start MedPaw the next day. There's no need for a gap, and you shouldn't give both. Check with your vet first if your dog takes any medication.
