My dog started limping and I took him to the vet. Vet did xrays and whole 9 yards and basically said give the dog supplements and get him more exercise. I refused to use Dasuquin because of the price and opted for the cheapest thing I found at the pet store. My vet visits with xrays etc.. were really expensive and I thought, supplements are supplements. Two months later the dog limping got worst. I went back to the vet and bought these, replacing the old supplements and what do you know- two weeks later, the dog stopped limping and has been fine since. The price is outrageous, but the dogs (started giving them to the old dog now) seem to like them without the need of masking them in food and they seem to work great. I just wish I had opted for these the first time around- and I wish they were more affordable.

Our 9 year old Newfoundland started having difficulty going up and down the stairs and would limp around after getting up from lying down on the floor. We took him to our vet and he prescribed Tramadol for his pain and gave us MSM powder to add to his food once a day. He did have some minimal improvement but it just wasn't what he deserved. I spoke with some friends of ours who have an older Newf also and found out that they had been dealing with the same problems with their dog's mobility. They shared some of this product that they had gotten from their vet with us to try. After only 3 days, our Newf was running around like he did when he was two years old! He no longer grunts or whines when he lays down or stands up and he races up and down the stairs. I have cut back on his Tramadol from 125mg per day to just 50 mg per day and I'm beginning to believe that we can probably stop it all together without any problem. I purchased the product through Amazon because my vet said that he didn't have the product for his patients because it was expensive compared to the MSM powder and that the product essentially did the same thing as MSM powder for a lot less money. I beg to differ, but I have seen such a remarkable difference with my dog's ability to get around that I'll pay the $[...] extra bucks a month! My dog's happiness is worth 1,000 times that!

I have a 14 yr old Yellow Lab named Dexter who is still walking on his own because of this product. Three monhts ago a thoughtful friend shared a partially used bottle with me because her dog passed away. Dexter's hips were not working well for him at all. He was slipping when he got up and walking with a lot of difficulty. Now a full bottle into this product and I can see a big improvement in his mobility. I don't expect it to cure his old age but it sure is helping him to deal with it. I'm impressed with the product's results.

My review on the Dasuquin for Dog Arthritis

The average life span for a Bouvier is between 10 and 12 years. Our grand lady made it to 15. I am convinced that Dasuquin with MSM played major role in keeping her mobile.

We first gave it to her when she was 12. She was moving with great difficulty at the time. For the first 4 weeks we didn't see any change. Then she gradually became more mobile, began to bounce and play a little, and, began to demand her daily walks again. After about a year we forgot the role it played and stopped giving it to her. Within a week we could see the deterioration, and she stopped asking to go on her walks. We resumed the Dasuquin and in two weeks she was back where she had been.

We believe in it so much that we are giving a low dose to our 4 year old Bouvier as a preventative since she has a slight hip dysplasia.

Product works wonders. Our dog acts like a puppy again. Order was fast and shipped right away. Received with no problems at a great price. Will buy from again.

My 70 lbs German Shepherd started limping recently. After playing outside for 30 to 60 minutes, he'd limp the rest of the day. We took him to the vet. They said he has elbow dysplasia in one elbow, but the other one is fine. He already has dysplastic hips, only one of which we were able to correct via TPO surgery a few years ago.

The vet recommended Dasuquin while discussing the diagnosis. I didn't expect much since we all know that medicine is a voodoo science. However, I have been extremely surprised at how well this stuff works, once we got into the routine of remembering to include it with his dinner. My dog doesn't limp anymore. Even after multiple hours of chasing things in the back yard he will be trotting fine. It's been about three months since we started Dasuquin.

Good stuff, definitely give it a try if you're on the fence. It really surprised me.

This product is exactly what our Rhodesian Ridgeback needs. She has hereditary hip dysplasia which causes some soreness and stiffness in her right hip. She is still young, so we need maximum protection and prevention. I have done hours of research on this specific topic, and we choose Dasuquin. The reason for the price is this product is one of the only of its kind guaranteed by the FDA to have the exact amounts of nutrients stated. Other brands can be misleading and are not regulated in being forced to provide what is listed. We have been using Dasuquin since the beginning of 2009 and will be indefinitely. We saw immediate positive response and have continued seeing the same quality over the years... no more limping, no more hopping or holding a leg up, no more pain after laying down for a while, nothing. Price, convenience, etc. are not worth such a serious, painful issue with our dog.

As a side note, this vitamin requires one tablet a day for our 90lb dog... whereas many other brands that are 'cheaper' require 5 or 6 tablets a day to get the same doses of nutrients. So, in the end, the price ends up actually quite similar or sometimes even cheaper.

Large Dogs (60lbs and over): Glucosamine 900mg, MSM 800mg (per tablet)

This product was all I was hoping for. Vet recommended, but much less expensive on Amazon. It stopped the clicking in my dogs hips. I don't hear any clicking anymore, and she runs around like a champ. She eats them with no problem after getting used to the smell.
