Allow 4 - 6 weeks initially to note a response, though some dogs may respond sooner. If desired, the number of tablets may then be reduced to a maintenance level. The maintenance level can also be used long-term in healthy dogs to help support their joints. An individual dog’s needs may vary. To provide extra support to the joints, dogs on a maintenance level can be increased to the initial level as needed, e.g., on weekends or other times when they are more active. Store in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. Keep lid tightly secured to ensure freshness.
Dasuquin from Nutramax Laboratories Veterinary Sciences, Inc. is a joint health supplement for dogs that goes beyond standard glucosamine supplements. It contains NMX1000' avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), green tea extract (EGCG), FCHG49' glucosamine hydrochloride, and TRH122'* low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate in a chewable tablet and soft chew. It is a comprehensive joint support supplement.
The combination of the trademarked FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride and TRH122 low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate supports cartilage matrix production and helps block enzymes in joints that break down cartilage. These ingredients together have been shown in published studies to protect joint cartilage better than either ingredient alone. A greater than additive effect, known as a 'synergistic' effect, on cartilage cells was seen using this glucosamine and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate together.
ASU stands for avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, an ingredient concentrated directly from avocados and soybeans that is used for joint health. ASU has been shown to improve joint function and comfort levels. Studies using cartilage cells have shown that ASU lowers the expression or production of several compounds involved in the process of cartilage breakdown in joints. ASU complements the positive effects of the other active ingredients in Dasuquin. The glucosamine in Dasuquin is synergistic with low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate and has been shown in cartilage cell studies to be synergistic with ASU. Of note NMX1000 avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride and TRH122 low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate together were shown in cell studies to be better than the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate alone at inhibiting expression of several agents involved in the breakdown of cartilage. The highly absorbable green tea extract (EGCG) is rich in antioxidants, which have a positive effect on cartilage as well as on overall body defenses.
It may be a good time to ask your veterinarian about Dasuquin if you notice that your dog slows down during walks, does not get up easily, or is reluctant to climb stairs or jump into the car. Your veterinarian will examine your dog to determine if he/she could benefit from Dasuquin. If your veterinarian has already recommended Dasuquin, the sooner it is started the more opportunity your pet will have to respond. Your veterinarian may also suggest using Dasuquin as a protective measure. This can be important for maintaining an active life for many dogs, especially large breeds and working dogs of all sizes. Dasuquin may also be used to help support cartilage following joint surgery.
Observe your dog closely, and notice whether your dog seems more comfortable doing those activities he seemed reluctant doing or had some trouble doing previously. Changes in your dog's comfort level may occur gradually. Allow time for your dog to respond. It may take 4 - 6 weeks, though some dogs may respond sooner.
Your veterinarian may recommend exercise, which is important for optimal joint function as well as weight control and the overall health of your pet. Joint movement is needed to circulate fluid around the cartilage as well as to bring nutrients and to remove waste products. It has been shown that when joints are immobilized, cartilage structures deteriorate at a rapid rate. You should ask your veterinarian, but in most cases, moderate exercise is recommended. Walking on sand or another soft surface or even swimming will help circulate needed nutrients and reduce excessive stress to the cartilage. It is important not to push your pet but to exercise at a comfortable pace.
While sensitivity to avocados has been reported in a few dogs, taking Dasuquin tablets is not the same as eating whole avocados. The ASU in Dasuquin has been evaluated in a safety study in dogs, and no adverse effects were noted from administration. There are no known contraindications or known interactions between Dasuquin and any drug or supplement.
Most commercial pet foods include baseline vitamins and nutrients, but some may not have the adequate amount to suit your pet's exact health needs. Like in humans, vitamins and supplements can help support your pet's long-term health, regulating everything from digestion to muscle growth. Consult your veterinarian to determine the best vitamins and supplements for your furry friend.
It is recommended to give the suggested dosage based off your pet's weight. Please refer to the Feeding Instructions tab and consult with your veterinarian for more information.

I had a dog that had spinal issues and her vet recommended this. Ever since then as soon as we get a new dog they go on this product. I have not had problems since with spine or leg issues.
Our precious 16 year-old still gets out for her walk, even though the pace is slow. She takes pain med regularly. We added the Dasuquin at the suggestion of her veterinarian. Besides being a chewable morning treat for her, we like to think this supplement helps with her mobility.
Excellent customer service, prompt responses, easy to navigate shopping, competitive prices
My senior girl gets one of these every night with her dinner, plus other medications and supplements, and it really helps her arthritis. She still loves her daily walks and frequent hikes!
My dog has taken Dasuquin for years and for some reason, the last bottle he got gave him severe diarrhea. He stopped immediately upon stopping the tablets. I do not recommend these at all....or if you use them, test first, because now I'm out all this money for nothing as the tablets went in the trash. The customer service on CHAT was useless. (Kateena E.) She basically said, "WHOOPEE DOOOO!"
My vet recommended this supplement, which I used to buy from the veterinary clinic. Cost a fortune, but really helped my dog so much I just kept buying it. She had partial tears in her cruciate ligaments, and lots of pain. She wasn't a candidate for surgery, but now she is running around as though nothing every happened. Then I found out that it's available on Chewey w/o prescription at half the price. Voila!
For our older dogs who benefit from this we simply put in some wet food and give as a treat and they love it! They are moving with more ease as they walk, play and run.
Our 9 yr old Cavalier decided if the cats could jump over the baby gate, so could she. Unfortunately, she hurt her leg. There’s nothing that can be done to fix it & can tell it hurts because she limps. We’ve been using the Dasuqin for about a year consistently & it really has helped her.
Chewy is the best place to find Dasuquin tablets for my dog. Online is so easy to order.
Love the product and it’s benefits , but the tablet is a bit hard for my older girls . The soft ones tended to dry out so I thought I’d try these .
