I love Cosequin I have had Pnut on it for about 6 months now. I first started seeing signs of limping So I took him into the vet and sure enough he has stage one on the right and stage 2 on the left, the Vet said no need for SX as long as I start him on the Cosequin and Omega 3 and 6. I started him on it right away. I give him 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill at night. He doesn’t limp at all!!! I then thought to start giving him 1 pill the whole day, and he started to limp so I put him back on 2 a day. I got the Cosequin at EntirelyPets Discount Pet meds Pet Supplies & Flea Medicine for pretty cheap. I got his omega 3 and 6 at Petco. Its liquid in a bottle that I squezze on his food. I give that to him about twice a week. I also give him a multi vitamin I got at Petco.. Its like a AKC mulitivitamin.. nothing special.. I give that to him about 4 times a week.
I would really start them on the Cosequin, if you know for sure it is LP its not going to hurt them. It will improve and help them a lot, but always talk to you vet and see what they say to do! |
Do you use the capsule or the chewable tablet? Also just the Cosequin and not the Cosequin DS correct? From what it looks like the DS is for dogs over 25lbs...?
