In most completions, the length of tubing available at surface is not enough for proper wellhead installation and operation. Pup joints and varying lengths of tubing are used to adjust the production string length as close as possible to the desired value. Then, the adjustable union or joint is installed, rotationally adjusted, and locked to the desired makeup length. In dual completions, the tool can be used to adjust the length of the short string.
The adjustable, telescoping action of the union or joint allows it to be set and locked at any desired position within its adjustment length while maintaining pressure integrity in the tubing string. Once the tool is in place, the desired amount of tension, weight, and rotational torque can be applied through it to the tubing.

Your dog’s joints are just brilliant. They’re the connector - joining inflexible bones together. They help the bones move in a flexible way, allowing your dog to move around freely, investigating and enjoying their world.
Synovial or ‘free-moving’ joints are the most common type of dog’s joints. They let your pooch move and transfer weight from one part of their body to another. They help with all that busy activity we see our dogs doing – running, changing direction and moving back and forth.`
Fibrous or fixed joints are found in places where you don’t want much movement, such as the skull. They’re connected by tough, fibrous tissues. Did you know that your dog"s skull is made up of more than 40 bones? They’re all supported by fibrous tissue.
Cartilaginous joints allow some movement, and can be found in areas such as the spine, where bones are joined by cartilage. The movement of these joints is less than the Synovial joints – so think of the joints between the vertebra in the spine and the joints where the ribs meet the sternum.
Let’s look at synovial joints in a bit more detail, as they’re the key areas that help your dog to enjoy a full range of movement. Remember these are your dog"s free-moving joints. Dogs have synovial joints in their shoulders, hips, elbows, wrists, knees and ankles.
They are pretty complex structures. The part where the two bones meet is protected by a tough joint capsule. And outside of the joint capsule, different soft tissues, tendons, ligaments and muscles surround the joint. They all work together to protect the joint and allow it to move.
Inside the joint capsule, the ends of your dog’s bones are cushioned and protected by a thin layer of cartilage. This provides a smooth, friction-free surface that allows the joint to move smoothly. Cartilage provides flexibility, lubrication and cushioning that help your canine companion manage all those doggy leaps and jumps.
Synovial fluid inside the joint capsule provides some additional protection. This slippery, viscous fluid contains Hyaluronic Acid, a gel-like molecule that works as a lubricant and helps to absorb shocks and cushion your dog’s joints even more.
Your dog’s shoulders have ball and socket joints, where the ball at the top of the humerus – the bone at the top of the front leg - meets the scapula, or shoulder blade. This type of ball and socket joint allows for a great range of movement, and comes into play every time your dog jumps up to catch a ball and when they land back down on the ground. The more they jump and zoom, the more the joint is used.
You’ll find your dog’s elbow joint just below their chest. The joint lower down the leg, which you might assume is the elbow is, in fact, the wrist joint.
The elbow joint is where the three bones meet on your dog’s foreleg: the humerus – the long bone of the upper foreleg – and the radius and ulna of the lower leg.
The elbow joint in your dog is a ‘hinge joint’. A bit like a door hinge, it moves in one direction, unlike a ball and socket joint that has a wider range of movement. The elbow joints in your dog’s front legs tend to take a fair bit of force, especially when your dog brakes or comes to a sudden stop.
Your dog’s wrist joint, also called the ‘carpus’, is located between the elbow joint and the paw on their front legs. Here, the bones of the upper leg meet with seven small carpal bones. This is an intricate system that helps your dog to stop, stand and move freely.
Each time your dog jumps up, plays, zooms after a ball or races up and down stairs, their hip joints will be activated. Inside the joint, synovial fluid helps to cushion the movement, while the layer of cartilage over the bones adds extra protection.
Moving on to your dog’s hind legs – you’ll find the knee joint, which is also known as the stifle. This is one of the largest synovial joints in your dog’s body and it has an important role to play. It’s crucial in enabling your dog to stand up, jump into the car or onto furniture, walk, run and play.
Finally, we come to the ankle joint, which connects your dog’s shin bones to their paws. If your dog loves to run or jump, this is a joint which can come under extra pressure, as it flexes and adapts to the intense movement.
However, as your dog gets older, their body produces less synovial fluid and the cartilage in their joints can reduce due to natural wear and tear. The result can be stiff joints and less mobility.
If you’ve noticed any signs of stiffnessin your dog, try our YuMOVE range – PLUS Extra-Strength Tablets, Daily Soft Chews, Chewable Tablets and Tasty Bite Treats. They are proven to reduce dogs joint stiffness within six weeks and are packed with high-quality ingredients that are known to make a difference to joint health, including:
Fido-Flex H/A Tablets are a concentrated product containing glucosamine, MSM®, chondroitin sulfate and sodium hyaluronate (HA) to help support healthy joint function. Comes in easy-to-administer chewable tablets.
Fido-Flex H/A tablets are designed to support healthy joint growth, and maintain joint comfort and mobility through all the stages of your dog’s life. This formula offers high levels of Glucosamine, MSM®, Hyaluronic Acid and Chondroitin to help dogs maintain healthy canine joint function and connective tissue.
Chondroitin Sulfateworks synergistically with glucosamine in the production of new cartilage and inhibits the effects of various enzymes that breakdown cartilage. It also helps to support a natural inflammatory response lending to overall joint health and comfort.
Glucosamineis the building block of chondroitin sulfate, a specific type of polysulfide glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a small but complex molecule has an important role in both the production and protection of joints. Glucosamine plays multiple roles within joint function/health. It helps increase the production of new GAGs and therefore new cartilage has also been shown to inhibit the free radicals and enzymes that aid in cartilage degradation.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)helps support healthy cartilage and joint fluid. Hyaluronic acid is what makes joint fluid "sticky" because it is known to protect cells in the joint, HA is especially useful during periods of high-level joint stress.
MSM:(Methylsulfonylmethane) Assists body to produce its own internal antioxidants which helps support natural inflammatory response by providing protection against oxidative stress. It is a great source of sulfur, which plays an important role in maintaining the health of collagen, cartilage, hooves, hair and joint fluid.

Below is information about the structure and function of the canine joints and ligaments. We will tell you about the general structure of joints and ligaments, how they work in dogs, common diseases that affect joints and ligaments and common diagnostic tests performed in dogs to evaluate these areas.
A joint is an articulation, the junction between two or more bones of the dog’s skeleton. Some joints have no movement, some allow only slight movement, and some are freely moveable.
A ligament is a tough band of white, fibrous, slightly elastic tissue. Ligaments are an essential part of the dog’s skeletal joints because they bind the ends of bones together to prevent dislocation and excessive movement that might cause breakage.
In the skeletal system, ligaments often stretch across the joints to connect different bones. Ligaments are also found in the abdomen where they support many internal organs, including the uterus, the bladder, the liver, and the diaphragm and help to hold these organs in position.
A joint consists of bones, muscles, ligaments, cartilage and a lubricating fluid all enclosed by a tough joint capsule. Bones are anchored by ligaments that permit a certain amount of movement in specific directions. Many joints are surrounded by a joint capsule, which contains the joint lubricant, synovial fluid. The ends of the bones are covered by cartilage, creating a smooth surface that helps the joint move easily and helps to absorb any concussion as body weight is placed on the joint.
Synovial joints – These joints are the most common type of joint, and they provide free movement between the bones they link. They are typical of nearly all limb joints, such as the knee, elbow and wrist. Their name comes from the lubricating substance (synovial fluid) that is within the joint cavity. Tough, fibrous tissue encloses the area between the bone ends and is called the joint capsule.
Fibrous joints – These joints are united by fibrous tissue. The amount of movement of these joints depends in most cases on the length of fibers uniting the bones. The sutures of the skull are an example of fibrous joints. These bones are close together and have essentially no movement.
Cartilaginous joints – These joints are united by cartilage and allow some movement. The joints formed between each vertebra in the spine are an example. The intervertebral disc is actually cartilage, which acts as a cushion or pad between the adjacent vertebrae.
Joints receive blood from articular arteries that arise from vessels around the joint. Articular veins accompany the arteries and both are located in the joint capsule. Joints have a rich nerve supply, with many nerve endings in the articular capsule. The nerves within joints transmit a sense of position or proprioception information via the nerves back to the brain.
Ligaments are composed largely of long parallel or spiral collagenous fibers, but they also possess yellow elastic fibers. Ligaments may be intracapsular or extracapsular, depending on whether they are inside or outside the joint capsule, or part of the capsule itself.
Carpal hyperextension injuries cause a breakdown of the ligaments that support the back of the carpal joint in the wrist, resulting in collapse of the wrist. The foreleg rests closer to the floor, rather than in the normal upright position. It is usually the result of landing on the front legs after jumping from a significant height.
Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is degenerative arthritis of one or more joints that usually occurs from wear and tear on the joints. DJD affects the smooth articular cartilage of the joint, which ordinarily covers the bone and is responsible for the smooth, non-painful motion of joints. When this cartilages degenerates and becomes worn, rough bony surfaces are exposed and rub together. Pain and lack of joint mobility then occur.
Hip dysplasia is the abnormal development of the hip joint that occurs primarily in large breed dogs. Progressive lameness, stiffness and pain often arise in the hind legs with this disease.
Rupture of the cruciate ligament is a common problem in dogs. This ligament is located within the stifle (knee) joint and acts to stabilize the position of the femur as it comes to rest on the tibia. Acute traumatic tearing of this ligament can occur or the ligament may slowly degenerate until it is so weakened that tearing occurs with little trauma.
A thorough orthopedic examination with palpation of the affected area and testing of range of motion is very useful in identifying possible ligament and joint problems.
X-rays provide a view of the joint and can detect arthritis, dislocation, joint effusion, hip dysplasia and other abnormalities of joints. Numerous X-ray techniques and views have been developed for assessing joints. Ligaments do not show up on plain X-rays.
Arthrography is a type of contrast X-ray study where dye is injected into the joint and then an X-ray is taken. It is particularly helpful in assessing the shoulder joint of dogs.
Arthroscopy involves the passage of a small, rigid scope into the joint. It is used most often for examining the knee and shoulder joints. Many other joints are too small for insertion of arthroscopes.
Arthrocentesis is the aspiration of fluid from joint for sake of microscopic examination and bacterial culturing. It is most useful when abnormal amounts of fluid are present in the joint(s).
Help enable your dog to feel young and spry again with Jack&Pup"s Bark Buddies Joint Support. Formulated to help provide your dog with the optimal support to prevent degeneration, build and strengthen joints for care-free, pain-free movement.
Our veterinarian formulated vitamin supplements contain potent ingredients to effectively upgrade your pup"s quality of life. MSM, a anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant, reduces joint degeneration due to inflammation. Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine HCl work together to slow cartilage deterioration in the joints by impeding the harmful enzymes in the joint, in addition to encouraging the regrowth of collagen in the cartilage. Vitamins C and E not only protect against the breakdown of cartilage, but also encourage stimulation of regrowth of cartilage cells. Omegas-3 and 6 help maintain healthy joints and fight joint soreness.
My pups seem to like the flavor, they gobble them up. I wish you didn’t have to give so many though, for my 50 lbs dogs, need 3 a day. But otherwise, they’ve been great!
Sammy has been on Wuffles hip and joint chews exactly 31 days. Over the weekend I finally began seeing some progress in is mobility. We"ve had joint issues for a long time that had significantly slowed him down but I"m seeing a gradual increase in activity. I sure hope it continues!
Hi I"m TinyTim I like sitting on the heating pad. It makes my joints feel better! I can"t wait for my joint supplements so I can run outside again with my brothers and sisters!
Natalie has been taking the hip and joint chews for a month. Am in the process of weaning her off the steroids. She is SO much better! Thank you Wuffes! — feeling thankful.
This supplement has all the ingredients it should to make an effective joint supplement. I was kind of shocked to see that they recommend a double dose of the chews for the first 3 weeks of use (which would be a total of 6 chews daily for my dog). At 38.25 for a single bottle, that gets expensive very quickly. Just normal use of 3 chews a day is still 2 bottles a month, totalling about 80$ after tax. There are 60 chews in each bottle, so with normal daily 3 chews a day, each bottle lasts my dog about 20 days.
We’re in month 9 now of our joint chew supply and all I can say is OMG. It only took the first 3 weeks to have a magical moment. We were sitting on the bed and Bruno just jumped on the bed - he hasn’t done that in YEARS. I was on the fence about Wuffes. I am now a customer FOR LIFE!
Our dog has had some joint and hip issues of late. Our vet said he could have surgery to the tune of 3-4K. Our efforts for his comfort were met with Wuffes. In a short period of time we started to notice more movement in the joint and less stress in the eyes. He doesn"t complain, but what dog does? We plan to continues use of Wuffes for our dog.
My 13 year old Chihuahua was having such difficulty walking especially with the damp weather. My friends were telling me to put him down and then I found this product on Facebook. Jake is doing so much better now 5 months after starting the Hip and Joint Supplement. I tried other products and this is by far the best!
We are very pleased with Wuffees Hip and Joint Supplement. We have a 10-year-old English Bulldog he is a very important part of our family. Yes, he is old for a bully. But We have seen a huge difference in him since we started him on Wuffes. He was not getting around well so we thought we would give it a try. We are very pleased after 2 days of giving him Woffes Hip and Joint Supplement. He has started getting around like he is a puppy again he even wants to play!!! Wuffes are amazing for our boy and have blessed us with a better life for our fur baby. Thank you Wuffes for giving him a better life we love him so much and believe it has extended his life!
I"m sold! I know its expensive (especially because my girl is 90 lbs) but its soooo worth it! My baby is walking again! I didn"t believe it but I was willing to try for my pup❤
Our golden retriever, Sarah, is 11 years old and has been showing signs of joint pain. After 8 weeks of taking her Wuffes, she is moving a bit more easily and I am noticing a definite spark in her step. Looking forward to more improvement in the coming weeks. Ready now to subscribe
