Shipping for Prescription Medications
Our pharmacy prepares and ships prescription medications separately to ensure proper handling.
Most prescriptions are delivered within 3-5 days.Adequan is an FDA-approved injectable medication prescribed for the treatment of equine non-infectious degenerative joint disease (DJD), specifically in the carpal and hock joints (the equivalent of the ankle bone in humans). DJD can cause joint pain and inflammation, which can often lead to horse lameness. Lameness occurs when the horse overcompensates for the affected area, resulting in abnormal movements. Adequan can help reduce the damaging process of DJD, help reverse the loss of cartilage and encourage healthy joint function and associated lameness.
Proudly sourced directly from the manufacturer or their approved distributor. Guaranteed genuine and backed by the manufacturer.

Very fast at getting it to me, and I appreciate. Will start my auto ship in March when I get back to my house
Adequan has given my horse a better quality of life. He has bad arthritis and it has really helped him.
I have a special needs goat whi has beaten the odds, survived 4 major surgeries and over came septic joint ill that actually ate away complete bones. (He was a rescue....can see him as Walley the Warrior on FB). He spent close to 6 weeks down at Iowa State University Vet Hospital. Due to his condition & missing joint bones, he has an off gate. I talked to my local vet about what I could do to support his other joints since they work overtime and differently and she suggested this. It has made a world of difference for him and I am grateful. He gets a very small dose 1x a week and seeing him move better, be more active makes my heart happy. Small price to pay for such amazing results!
Super fast processing and delivery. Love this product to keep my horse moving comfortably!
I have a 26 pound ginger Maine Coon son - we tried o.4 twice a week for 4 weeks then went to once a month for his joint problem (he's inherited disabling arthritis from me - his meowmy)....Adequan worked wonders on Maxx. He didn't do so well trying to go to once a month injections - so now we're trying every 2 weeks .....the shots 2 x a weeks made him feel like a young kitty again. At 12 yrs old I promised him I would NEVER make him suffer - so we're pulling out all the stops and bags of tricks to ensure he has a wonderful Quality of Life - for he is my 'son' and I'd give him the world. So wish CHEWY carried the feline version of Adequan. I am glad Maxx's dr tried it on him. She's been his dr since he was 5 wks old....she knows him 'well'. Thanks Dr. Sykes for giving my son quality of life.
My older show hunter needs Adequan to stay at the top of her game. Chewy's Subscribe and Save is the best pricing I have found.
Started Carprofen(NSAID)1-2 weeks before starting Adequan so not sure how much is just Adequan. With just the carprofen my 12 YO golden retriever’s arthritis pain was definitely being helped but with giving both the NSAID and Adequan there is a MASSIVE difference in his comfort level. Really saw a big difference after 4 shots, gets better with each shot of the loading dose. He wouldn’t take more than 1-2 trot steps before now he’ll trot all around. MUCH friskier and wanting to play with my other dog a ton more. Very happy!
Chewy is the best, always attentive to their costumers.
The product is great however, I did not realize that if you do not use it within 28 days it recommends to discard. Well I still have half a bottle so I lost 400.00 dollars or at least half of that cause I did use half a bottle. Next time I will order the 5mg/ml bottles. It would be nice if the representative taking the order was more familiar with the product and would mention this before purchasing. The Adequan it's self is great!
Always a great product, works extremely well. My horses respond well with it.
