COSEQUIN JOINT SUPPLEMENT FOR DOGS

Cosequin and Dasuquin are both supplements that help promote joint health in dogs and cats. Nutramax—their parent brand—is a trusted company among veterinarians, thanks to its safety and quality checks to ensure that products are safe and effective for pets.

Joint supplements are used for a wide variety of medical conditions, including arthritis, joint disease, and bone fractures, and are recommended for healthy pets as they age. Joint supplements help maintain mobility, decrease pain, reduce inflammation, limit disease progression, and encourage new cartilage growth while preventing the cartilage that is present from breaking down.

If you think your pet would benefit from a joint supplement, talk to your veterinarian to find the best product to fit your pet’s specific needs.

All Cosequin and Dasuquin supplements contain glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate. 

Glucosamine helps stimulate growth of new cartilage and protect the cartilage in the joint. This is important, because healthy cartilage is essential to pain-free movement. Chondroitin is a naturally occurring compound found in a pet’s joints—it helps lubricate, provides shock absorption, and nourishes tissue lining the joints. 

Glucosamine and chondroitin work together to reduce inflammation and help prevent destruction of cartilage in joints. They are safe to give to your pet long-term and are recommended as early treatment in older pets, especially those recently diagnosed with arthritis. It can also be given to young pets (8 weeks old) with hereditary conditions such as hip dysplasia or those recovering from a broken bone. Additionally, supplements can be added for preventative care in a pet’s early years.
