Nutramax Laboratories Cosequin Maximum Strength Joint Health Supplement for Dogs - With Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM, 60 Chewable Tablets

Our 15-16 year old 60 lb Lab mix rescue who lives on the front porch could not stand up on her own and has been down for over a week. We put her in the house and tried stretching and massaging her rear legs but to no avail. She eats good and drinks plenty of water so we knew it had to be a joint/arthritis issue. We put multiple pee pads down on the linoleum and for the most part was able to catch most of the excrement. We did multiple research runs to see what we could do. Without the big vet bill we would receive, we opted to try this 60 tablet Cosequin product. We stood by waiting for it to come in and quickly opened the bottle. Gave her one full tablet that she ate right out of the palm of my hand and started to crunch. Gave her the bowl of water to chase it down and we proceeded to get dinner ready. We ate and settled in for the night watching TV. I gave her the tablet after 4pm and was watching an 8 o'clock show when on her own she showed up at the opening to the living room. I jumped up, petted her and guided her to the front door. That had to be her best bathroom run in over a week. We were jumping up and down watching her every move and enjoying to see her get around even tho it was a little shaky. She came back into the house and proceeded to rest for the whole evening. The next morning I could tell she wanted up but she couldn't get it done. I cut a tablet in half and around an hour later she was back at the living room wanting out for another bathroom run. I don't want to over due the dosage or continue for too long so we are going with a half pill in the morning and at dinner time. Just to let you know, I took my attention away from her to type this and she was able to get up away from all of the protection material on the floor we had for her and she wanted to go outside but I wasn't there to let her out and she peed on the carpet. Mad but glad that she got up and did it on her own with the help of a little tablet.

We purchased this for our miniature dachshunds as they are known to have back problems if they are overweight. And it was also recommended by our vet since our miniature dachshunds are a bit overweight, even though they’re on a diet. The one dog will eat her half a tablet happily because she likes the taste But the other one absolutely refuses it and we have to hide it in Food. The pills are very sturdy and we cut them in half for their size. The quality is very good. The tablets are not soft, but they’re easy to use and very sturdy. You have to use a knife to cut them in half. I don’t believe this makes them sleep, but it is a good quality product for helping support their small bones. I recommend them also to larger dogs to help with their bones. Very happy with this product because our dachshunds are happy and healthy and I don’t foresee any problems with any of their bones or their back. Highly recommended for daily use.

My ten year old cocker spaniel just stopped jumping on the bed and preferred to lay on the floor. Not at all his regular behavior. Then I noticed he was moving very slowly and was unsteady from time to time. Ordered the Cosequin based on Internet comments. It took about 5-7 days and then the change was obvious. Still couldn't jump on the bed but was walking steadier and with more ease. Can't change his age but I can help him age easier. Definitely provided an improvement and will continue to give him the tablets. Plus he likes them.

I have been using these and vet recommended to help a older boxer who is healthy just as a precaution and my younger boxer because she has Lyme disease and they are helping her joints great when she has a flare up.The only reason I'm only giving a 4 star is not because of the pills but the seller. At the time I purchased 2 bottles of these. There was a store had special that if you purchased 2 or more products from there store you would get a 30.00 credit. Which I never received!!! Not very happy about that.

This is a brand that I've used for years. For my big dog's, I start with the minimum dose. When they get older I give them a larger dose (as Vet suggested). I have not had to use anything else because this helps my wonderful dogs! For small dogs I follow the guidelines strictly.I currently have a Border Collie with Black Lab Mix and a Chihuahua. Previously I had a Border Collie and an Australian Shepherd. This is a great product. It's definitely pricey, but when you take care of an animal, their life is in your hands, so treat them well. You don't need to treat them better than your own children, but do take good care of them.

I started giving this to my 15 year old Chihuahua/rat terrier mix three months ago. I wanted to give this time before I wrote a review. It has completely changed his life. He is a new dog. He has energy. He can move around. He runs and jumps. It’s like he’s a brand new dog. Everyone that has been around him comments on how great he looks, and how much more energetic he seems. I’ve started giving this to my nine year-old dog just to help with his joints in the future.

This is an amazing product. I have a 14 year old pitbull. He got an ear infection and lost his equilibrium and couldn't get up to walk. I started giving him this product and slowly I would make him walk since he loves it. 4 months later and now he runs. I would put the tablets in water and and by end of day they're melted down and I put it in his dog food. Exercise and tablets equals healthy dog! Thank you.
