It seems that sodium lauryl sulfate can increase absorbtion of ingredients or something like that when the med is in a capsule form. It evidently can also be an ingredient in the capsule itself which most of our dogs don't swallow. So I am going to email Nutramax and ask.

Brand Name
Dasuquin (Nutramax)


Active Ingredient(s): Dasuquin for Cats; Glucosamine hydrochloride (125mg), Sodium chondroitin sulfate (100mg), Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables (25mg). Also contains Gelatin, soy protein isolate, natural chicken flavor, natural tuna flavor, gum resin, water, tea, mixed tocopherols, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, natural and artificial flavoring, sodium lauryl sulfate, FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Blue #1

...maybe it is the capsule???
