I have never heard of NUJOINT PLUS. But, I would imagine it must be good. There are lots of products out there for joints. My vet told me to simply get Glucosamine capsules at any vitamin store. This way, the capsule can be opened and poured onto their food. I have been doing this for years.
I also do this with Cranberry capsules. I buy the kind that has the dry powder in the capsules. This helps with the urinary tract.
Most of my Boys are seniors now and (knock on wood) they have never had problems with movement or, their urinary tract. One of my Boys had a back injury and he is over 12 years old. He can still make it up and down the stairs, although he doesn't quite jump as much as he did. I can only imagine that without the Glucosamine capsules, that I've been using for years now, he would be much worse.

I don't know about that supplement but some are not backed by any research. Glucosamine comes from different sources and not all work too well. Cosequin appears to have the most research backing their product and SynoviG3 along with possibly Glycoflex do get good reviews.
