| I recommend Cosequin because it is backed by research/studies which some supplements lack. I have also heard good things about SynoviG3 and Glycoflex.

| I swear by Cosequin, too. I used Glycoflex for years, but really noticed a difference when I switched Lady to Cosequin. |

| My vet recommended CosaminDS for price and equivalence to more expensive brands. She said that it would take 30 days to see a difference. It's several months later, and WOW what a difference. My 12 year old, arthritic Yorkie is like a pup again. |

| my older 2 girls Tumi and Gracie have stage 1 LP also and they are on Cosequin for couple of weeks now. They used to be on Glycoflex but i switched them after doing more research. My little one Tsubi has not be diagnosed with LP but I give her Glycoflex soft chews as a supplement for her future protection.

| The DS stands for "double strength". It's formulated for larger dogs. Toy breed dogs need the regular strength. I get mine from Entirely Pets. They have great prices. Cosequin Reqular Strength |

| If you get the Cosequin for cats....which is the correct dosage for toy dogs....it would be 1 capsule a day....just open the capsule and sprinkle onto their food.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | My vet put Tatum on Glycoflex, however, I have heard so many good things about Cosequin so I will be switching her over to that shortly
