What’s Inside

Four Ingredients Your Dog Will Thank You For

A lot of you told us you like to do your own research before you buy. Good. Here’s everything we put in Friend Factor and exactly why it’s in there. Friend Factor soft chews are hickory smoke and bacon flavored. We kept at it until the dogs told us we had it right. Your dog is going to think you’re giving them something tasty. You don’t have to tell them otherwise.

The Journey

Some Things Get Better With Time.Your Dog Deserves To Be One of Them.

Research on UC-II® Collagen shows that results take time to build. In published clinical studies, dogs given UC-II® Collagen daily showed early signs of joint comfort and mobility within the first 30 days. By 60 days, researchers saw more change. By 120 days, the studies recorded their strongest findings.

Potrait Family

Our own dogs started showing us the same thing. The slow mornings. The hesitation at the stairs. Needing a little help jumping off the bed.

We’d seen it in people. Turns out it looks exactly the same in dogs. So we went looking for the right veterinary medicine experts and manufacturing partners. We weren’t going to cut corners on the first product we’d ever made for dogs.

Friend Factor is what came out of that. Not a spin-off. Not a quick move into a growing category. Something we believed in, built the way we build everything, starting with the science.

Frequently Asked Questions

Things People Ask Before They Order

What is Friend Factor?

Friend Factor is a hip and joint soft chew for dogs, from Relief Factor Co., the team that has helped over a million people with joint discomfort since 2015. It’s formulated to help support your dog’s joints and help them feel more comfortable doing the things they love.

It’s for dogs at every stage. If your dog is already slowing down, slow to get up, hesitating at the stairs, needing a little help jumping off the bed, Friend Factor is designed to help them move more comfortably and protect the joints they still have. If your dog is younger and going strong, starting now may help keep them that way. Friend Factor is designed to help maintain joint mobility, help relieve occasional joint stiffness associated with normal daily activity, promote cartilage development and joint health, maintain the synovial fluid that lubricates joints, and support healthy bone, cartilage, and connective tissue.

Friend Factor combines four ingredients, each chosen for a specific role in supporting healthy joint function. The standout is UC-II® collagen, which works by training the immune system to protect joint cartilage rather than work against it. Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain a normal inflammatory response. Boswellia serrata has been used for joint support for centuries and was studied alongside UC-II® in a controlled clinical study on dogs. White curcumin in the Phytosome form absorbs far better than standard curcumin, so your dog actually gets the benefit, without the fabric staining that comes with yellow curcumin.

Each soft chew contains four active ingredients: 200 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish oil and algae oil), 100 mg of Boswellia serrata, 40 mg of white curcumin in the 10% Phytosome form, and 20 mg of UC-II® collagen licensed from Lonza.

Inactive ingredients: acacia gum, cane molasses, citric acid, glycerin, hickory smoke flavor, mixed tocopherols, natural bacon flavor, potato flour, potato starch, sunflower lecithin, and vinegar.


Omega-3 fatty acids and Boswellia serrata both help the body maintain a normal inflammatory response. That gives joints that have been under stress from everyday activity the support they need to keep moving comfortably.

Every dog is different. Research on UC-II® shows that results take time to build. In published clinical studies, dogs given UC-II® daily showed early signs of improvement within 30 days, with continued progress through 60 days and the strongest results recorded at 120 days. We recommend staying consistent for at least 120 days to give Friend Factor the time the research shows it needs.

Friend Factor is veterinarian formulated, made in the USA with globally sourced materials, and carries the NASC Quality Seal. A few important cautions are printed on the label: safe use in pregnant dogs or dogs intended for breeding has not been proven, the product may cause GI irritation, it should not be used in high doses with anticoagulant drugs, and it should not be given to dogs with stomach ulcers. If your dog’s condition worsens or does not improve, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

The National Animal Supplement Council awards it only to Members who pass an independent third-party audit and keep earning it through ongoing compliance reviews. NASC also conducts random product testing of member products through an independent third-party lab. It’s not a one-time stamp. You have to keep showing up to hold onto it.

Friend Factor soft chews are hickory bacon flavored. We kept at it until the dogs told us we had it right. Your dog is going to think you’re giving them something tasty. You don’t have to tell them otherwise.

Friend Factor is made in the USA with globally sourced materials. We source the Omega-3s from both fish oil and algae oil because together they give broader coverage than either alone. The UC-II® collagen is licensed from Lonza. We searched until we found manufacturers who could meet the standards we hold ourselves to.

Friend Factor is a once-a-day soft chew. The amount depends on your dog’s body weight:

Body WeightAmount Per Day
Up to 25 lbs1 soft chew
26-75 lbs2 soft chews
Over 75 lbs3 soft chews

Each bag contains 60 soft chews (270g / 9.5 oz). That’s about 60 days for small dogs, 30 days for medium dogs, and 20 days for large dogs. Subscribe & Save is $19.95 for the first month, then $39.95 + S&H on your chosen delivery frequency, every 30 days for small and medium dogs or every 20 days for large dogs. A one-time purchase is also available at full price + S&H.
