Cosequin will help with arthritic changes from luxating patellas, but won't keep them from getting worse. LP's are a structural problem. The kneecap groove isn't deep enough so the kneecap slips in and out. They get worse from the wear and tear from jumping on and off furniture, etc. So don't beat yourself up.
