Adequan Canine Injectable for Dogs, 100 mg/mL, 5-mL, pack of 2

I reviewed this product over a week ago - it appears Chewy did not approve it for publication because I cannot find it. The review of the product AND Chewy was good but it contained information regarding the equine version that might have bounced the review. Short version: the equine Adequan is the same medication cheaper than this product; however, it has a 30 day expiration that makes it unsuitable for maintenance injections. When your vet first puts your dog on Adequan, ask them to approve the equine version to save you money.

Great drug with no apparent side effects. I have used this drug for years with field trial Labradors and now with my Standard Poodle. She is 11 1/2 and very active. Arthritis in her back was beginning to bother her. This drug combined with acupuncture has had a very positive impact on her activity level. She is back to retrieving ball twice a day with no hesitation.

I have heard this has been a miracle med for some dogs, this was not true for mine and he did get some of the rare side effects. It was worth trying however, as I am working with a very compassionate palliative care vet, who has had success with this medication with other clients. *Not product related, but unlike Chewy representatives (who are amazing) I cannot recommend working with the Chewy pharmacy as they made me and my vet jump through a lot of hoops.*

Highly recommend purchase through Chewy for dispense. Always buying with confidence the product is authentic and reasonably priced. Also the Chewy pharmacy handles everything with the veterinarian in adequate time.

I have an 11-year-old chocolate lab that played hard his whole life. For the past couple of years, he's been suffering from severe arthritis in his back legs and hips and has since gone to his shoulders. Our vet recommended Adequan along with his daily 75mg Rimadyl since it really helped his own dog. I'm SO glad we did this! I will do anything for him. It took a few months, but we've seen a significant improvement in his mobility overall. He's still slow up the stairs, but he doesn't have any issues getting up off the floor anymore! He can also play fetch outside longer than he could before we got him on this medication. It's hard to give the shot yourself, but you get used to it.

This product is great for helping 12year old Ollie. He has lots of arthritis pain. The day after the shot he is spry, energetic and campaigning for biscuits just like the old days. He gets 1 ml every 2 weeks for his weight. It doesn’t last the full 2 weeks, but if we can improve some of his days. I think it’s worth it. I wonder why the equestrian dose is cheaper per ml and if we could buy the 10 ml vial instead of two 5 ml vials?

First, let me say, I LOVE Chewy and would recommend people to purchase pet items with the exception of the prescription service. I was shocked my prescription was even sent to me. I placed the order, at least, a month before you shipped it to me. I ended up purchasing more from my vet at the higher price because I ran out after waiting for Chewy to fill it. I thought Chewy wasn’t even goin to bother to ever fill it. Why do prescriptions take a month or longer to fill - that’s insane?

When we ordered the meds, it didn't arrive with any syringes. We had to go to the prescribing vet to get some. When I ordered the prescription I didn't see any notation that it comes without syringes. There should be a note stating that syringes are extra and/or you have to get them from your vet.

My 8 yr old boxer has severe arthritis in his hip and knee. The vet recommended this and i wish i would have put him on it sooner. Its made such a big difference in how he feels and he acts like he's 5 years old again. He overall seems happier and wants to play way more than he did before he started on it. The only issue is that chewy pharmacy does take a good bit to process the prescription. In my case it took almost a month after mailing it out and a phone call to the pharmacy to get my order shipped.

Apparently my dog falls into the small category of severe nausea and vomiting after receiving this medicine. My dog is an American Bull Dog/Boxer mix. After researching a little more, I have found numerous other dog owners that experienced the same reaction in their animals. Though the adequan trial did not list this as an observed reaction, It does list it as an unscientifically reported side effect after the fact. I think they need to amend that to be a more established side effect. Also, I found out this drug got approved after the unnecessary euthanizing of quite a few beagles..... that is incredibly disturbing. I will never give this to my dog again.
