Has help a great deal!
From UndisclosedComments about Cosequin Maximum Strength Joint SupportMy Lola is an 8 year old rescue. We think she is mastiff/pit. She is super lovely, but suffers from hip pain. We started her on this supplement 2x daily along with omega 3. She has shown a lot of improvement in daily comfort as a result. We are very happy. -
I will continue to purchase this product for her.

Been using this for years
From UndisclosedComments about Cosequin Maximum Strength Joint SupportWonderful supplement that helps my dogs with joint issues. Have bought this product close to 20 years. Started using when I rescued greyhounds with back problems. Helped mobility a lot. Now using it on my 10 year old Corgi who was a rescue with atrophied shoulder issues that caused her to trip. She is doing great since she's been on Cosequin. -

Only joint pill we get!
From UndisclosedComments about Cosequin Maximum Strength Joint SupportFavorite joint pill for our golden retriever! Doesn't mind eating it at all. -
I will continue to buy this product.
From UndisclosedComments about Cosequin Maximum Strength Joint SupportMy dog injured her legs and hips some time ago. She is a big dog, about 143 pounds.Started using Cosequin DS two months ago with an initial dosage of 4 tablets a day for 6 weeks now on 3 tablets per day. Her condition has significantly improved. Hard to tell if it is because of the reduced activity or the Cosequin. Probably a little bit of both. I question the pain relief value of MSM, doesn't seem to have much effect. I will coninue to give her Cosequin for the rest of her life. For pain, we are looking to our vet for a carprofen. If your dog has damaged hips or knees this product will not fix it but it can help ease their symptoms.

if the dog taking the cosequin had received more then it should in 1 day what would happen??

The recommended doses range from ½ tablet every other day to 2 tablets daily depending on the weight of your dog. If your dog took more than the recommended daily dose for their weight class, monitor for signs such as nausea, vomiting, and lethargy. It is recommended to speak with your veterinarian to determine if further follow up is necessary.

If my dog currently doesn't have related issues & just want this purely for preventive & maintenance, do I still follow the initial dose and lessen the dose after 6 weeks? Or can I already start with the maintenance dose at the onset??
-
The initial loading dose for 4-6 weeks is to have glucosamine reach therapeutic levels. Starting at the maintenance dose may take longer to reach the therapeutic levels needed to provide clinical relief Before initiating or altering any supplement for your dog, you should contact your vet. They have the most up-to-date medical history of your dog and can provide the best recommendations for them. Please consult your veterinarian.

My 14 lb poodle is currently taking Rimadyl for two weeks. Still limping. Would this be in addition or replacement for that medication? She is 7 years old. Thank you.?
-
Cosequin is a nutritional supplement that helps support joint health. It contains glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. Rimadyl is a prescription medication that contains Carprofen, a non-steroidal pain and inflammation reliever. Because Cosequin is a supplement, and is not a replacement for a prescription medication like Rimadyl. It does not have any known drug interactions, but you should consult with your veterinarian before administering a new supplement.
