Life changing!
By Liane on Jan 29, 2021
I bought Cosequin after my cat's vet recommended it. She's overweight and isn't (wasn't) very active. I started giving her the medicine about 3 months ago and the difference is like night and day. At first I gave her 2 capsules a day as recommended on the bottle and then went down to the maintenance (1 a day) dose. I just open the capsule and sprinkle it on her wet food. She has zero issues eating her food and getting the whole dose. I started to see improvement during the first couple of weeks and still continue to see positive changes. Before she would spend most of her time sleeping/being lazy and would really only move fast if it was to get away from my younger cat lol.

She wouldn't play with toys on her own, I or my boyfriend would have to be playing with her and even then she wouldn't stay interested for long. Now she plays with toys on her own, runs around the house (never knew I'd be excited about that lol), and has even started the chasing with my other cat. I can absolutely see how great it's been for her and it's made me an extremely happy cat mom! … more

It works! POUR ON TOP OF FOOD, DO NOT MIX
By Nadia on Oct 20, 2020
My cat started having hip problems, jumping on the couch, mobility. I normally pour this on top of her food and I don't mix it in, but I went on a trip for 6 days and got one of those auto feeders I measured the right amount of food to vitamins and mixed all up. When I returned I noticed her lumping and my roommate said the day after I left she was limping, checked her out, no outside damage. I went back to my normal routine of pouring it on top of her food, the next day I noticed her walking better and then the day after she was fine. This shows she needs it on top. I only use one a day

Cosequin review
By Trish on Dec 15, 2020
So far this seems to have helped my dog. He was having trouble with one leg & it would buckle at times. Since taking Cosequin, it has been much better.

I'm hoping Cosequin will help my 16 year old kitty
By Hiberniagirl on Sep 13, 2020
Phoebe has been receiving Cosequin for a few weeks so we're still waiting to see if it will help. I'm hopeful that it will make walking less painful. Time will tell, then I can give it five stars.

Does Not Upset My Dog's Sensitive Stomach
By CandyB on Jun 12, 2020
Purchased for my 12 year old, eight pound Yorkie who should be seven pounds. Her arthritis has been made worse by a torn ligament and weight gain from being on a bland diet after some major gastrointestinal issues. Due to her small size, and not having any teeth, it is difficult to get her to swallow some tablets. The capsules are small enough that she can gobble them down (with a little cheese smooshed around them). It's been several weeks and she has not had any GI flare ups. We had previously tried a Cosequin treat supplement that made a huge difference in her gait but did not agree with her elsewhere. We had also tried tablets but cutting them small enough for her to be able to swallow was Purchased for my 12 year old, eight pound Yorkie who should be seven pounds.

We had also tried tablets but cutting them small enough for her to be able to swallow was difficult as they would crumble when trying to get them to the right size. She is not getting the full recommend dosage yet as we are easing her belly into this new supplement. There is a slight difference in her gait, but we're only a few weeks in so it's too soon to really say how much of a difference it's making. I'm pleased to say she's on a new diet as well and is losing some of her rice weight. … more

Chewy threw up
By NoGood on Jun 26, 2020
After 2 weeks of giving my dog this he started to cough. Allot. He would cry and want to be comforted. He started to eat grass. He was trying to cure himself as I was posing him with this medication. I was trying to help him walk better not realizing I was causing more damage. He started to vomit. So I stopped. I just hope he goes back to normal.

It's like WD-40 for joints
By Weezie on Mar 25, 2020
My 15 year old 10 lb. Maltese had stiff joints. My vet recommended a half capsule, twice a day with food, sprinkled on top. I kid you not that from Day 1 using the Cosequin, she hasn't shown ANY signs of stiffness. It's amazing how quickly it works and how much better she is. I highly recommend this product.

Thank you for staying open!
By Kathi on Apr 19, 2020
My vet was unable to obtain this for my senior dog! He has been on it for over 10 years and was having difficulties after we ran out. Now he is back on it and back to himself!!
