Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Cosequin DS is a nutritional supplement to help your dog maintain healthy joints. As your pet ages, it’s common for her joints to become less flexible, which impacts her mobility and quality of life. Cosequin DS is the top recommended brand of veterinarians to support and maintain the health of your dog’s joints. The only glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement that has been shown safe, effective, and bioavailable in peer-reviewed, published, controlled, U.S. veterinary studies, Cosequin DS helps support cartilage production and protect existing cartilage from breakdown. It’s manufactured following standards similar to those practiced by the pharmaceutical industry. Recommended initial administration period is 4 to 6 weeks, though some dogs may respond in a shorter period of time. May be fed to your dog directly or crumbled and mixed with food. Each chewable tablet contains 500 milligrams of Glucosamine Hydrochloride, 400 milligrams of Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate, 5 milligrams of Manganese, plus Ascorbate and mixed Glycosaminoglycans. Please read all label information on delivery.

5.0 out of 5 stars We were considering hip replacement surgery, February 8, 2006

This review is from: Nutramax Cosequin DS Double-Strength Chewable Tablets - 250 Count (Misc.)

February 8, 2006: We were considering hip replacement surgery for our 90 lb lab who was diagnosed with hip dysplaysia. Our vet recommended we try Cosequin DS first. We had tried similar products with no improvement and didn't expect this to work either. We were wrong. There was a marked difference in our lab's activity level within the first two weeks. Currently, he plays runs, and jumps with no pain. This product worked wonders for our dog.

UPDATE June 18, 2007: Cosequin did work wonders for our lab, but he also has Degenerative Myelopathy which was missed due to the hip dysplasia. We had never heard of this disease and didn't know the signs or symptoms to watch for. Please, if your dog is on a joint therapy product, search for Degenerative Myelopathy on the internet and familiarize yourself with the symptoms. As the disease progresses without treatment, your dog's chance for recovery and/or stabilization become less and less. The University of Florida has a lot of information on their website regarding this disease and a video depicting dogs in various stages of this disease.

Have had our two 60 and 70 lb dogs on this now for about 6 months, marked improvment in our older dog. his left rear leg shaking has improved a great deal, much more like his old self. running and playing with the younder one. (and us) I recommend. as the other review says, does not hurt. and we think helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product!, December 8, 2007

Chris Brinkman (Greensboro, NC) - See all my reviews

I have used this product for years and it is the only glucosamine product currently on the market that is safe to use for extended periods of time. And has the FDA seal of approval. My dog thinks of them as treats and gobbles them right down so for anyone else if giving your dog a pill is a problem these should go right down! In no time you will notice a difference in your dog's mobility. Just make sure that you follow for vet's directions before giving these to your pet to make sure that this will help to correct the joint/mobility issues that they may be having.
