I think it looks like a pretty good supplement, based on the ingredients. Dasuquin has 600 mg of glucosamine, Hip Flex has 550 mg; Dasuquin has 400 mg of MSM, Hip Flex has 450 mg; Dasuquin has 250 mg of chondroitin, Hip Flex has 100 mg, each has some other ingredients, but those are the main ones.

Elvis is on cosequin.
From him not being on it to him being on it it's night and day!

His legs would make loud popping sounds he walked stiffly and never ran...now he gets zoomies haven't heard a pop after week 3 of it and he jumps up out of bed no more limping for the first 20 minutes.

We also give dogswell hip and joints treats.

I have been doing research for Buster and found this link. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc.
I had been using Liquid health but I am not sure it is helping enough as he has LP in his back legs and arthritis in his front. From the beginning I always heard little clicks in his joints.

I give Jackson 1/2 of these jerky sticks every night.... just as a preventative. He has no joint problems, etc, but he does a lot of running, jumping, agility, swimming, and gets a ton of exercise. So I figure it can't hurt. I don't really know if these kinds of treats do anything.

He will be 4 next week and no knee or joint issues thus far -- do you think giving him something like Cosequin is a waste? Since he is so highly active?

It also has some rave reviews so I feel pretty good about it. Just ordered some more while the price is low, it doesn't always stay low I like the idea of the tart cherry in there, it is supposed to be very good for any joint pain. I need some for ME

Hopefully it will help Luna's knee out, my groomer swears by the glucosamine stuff, it helped her dog so much. Her limp is totally gone! If this doesn't help much then we'll have to find a way to get her the surgery. I dread that, her going through the pain and recovery

Those look great, I bet he loves them too Jackson is such an active little man, it's good for him to have these to help prevent any damage.

Brister, cosequin, condroiton and magnesium suppliments are commonly used as an arthritispreventative and support overal general joint health.

Careful mixing even vitamin supps though.

Also Cosequin is often started at a high level then after 6a weeks leveled off at a half maintance dosagr.
