It totally works
By YourMom on Dec 28, 2020
My dog is a senior massive breed who was rescued from a physically abusive environment. He has a lot of unknown injuries and his mobility has greatly gone downhill fast from a lifetime of injuries, arthritis, and now old age. Trying to give him the best quality of life for the rest of his life so many supplements, etc., have been tried. That being said, THESE have made the biggest impact for his mobility! He’s moving around a lot easier after only one week, and you can see in his expressions how much better he’s feeling. In addition to good foods, and getting a sling from Chewy to help him stay active, wow. Thank you Chewy. And I hope this review helps other people in their quest to help their My dog is a senior massive breed who was rescued from a physically abusive environment.

Best Cosequin DS
By Copper on Feb 7, 2021
So far it is good. Copper does not take supplements along with pill meds well, but this, from the first one to present he looks for every morning.It is a pleasure. He has started to climb stairs again which is a relief for me also. I definitely recommend!

My dog will eat it!!!!
By OldDOGowner on Feb 2, 2021
I’ve tried many and this is the first chewable my dog eats without me having to make him swallow it like a pill. I throw it in with his dry food with a little wet food and he chews it down every time without any trouble.

Working well for our chocolate lab
By Judy on Dec 12, 2020
When we brought home our chocolate lab as a puppy, we didn’t know that he was born with elbow dysplasia in both front legs and that his life expectancy was 5-6 years. He’s 4 years old and with surgery and this supplement, he is doing better than expected.

Acting like a young dog again!
By Chris on Sep 22, 2020
Emma, our Shep/Boxer Mix, is 7 years old. I noticed she wasn't initiating playing with her Sheepdog/Herding/Heinz57 2 year old sister, who she raised and even picked out at the rescue. After I noticed her favoring her back hip while running after a ball, I ordered Cosequin. It has been a week and I already see a difference. She plays, chases her younger sister, wrestling on the grass..and the tail is wagging happily!

Really Works!
By ObiesMom on Aug 22, 2020
I have a wonderful, sweet 7.5 yr old male pit bull who unfortunately has arthritis. Because of the t.v. adds I've seen I thought I give it a try. I gave the recommended dose for the first 6 weeks and then went to a maintenance dose. This was about 1.5 years ago. I'm very happy with the results!! He had been on Synovi G4 for about 1 yr and then switched to Synovi G3 for about 4 yrs before switching to Cosequin DS and the Synovi was no help at all. Chewy by far has the best prices not only for Cosequin DS but I also get my little guy his prescription meds , food and occasional treats from Chewy. The shipping is always prompt and if I need to call to place an order for an Rx or anything I have a wonderful, sweet 7.5 yr old male pit bull who unfortunately has arthritis.
