Nutramax Dasuquin with MSM Joint Health Small/Medium Dog Supplement

My English Springer has chronic joint pain and inflammation after bilateral tendon repairs. Her surgeon recommended Dasuquin and I gave it to her regularly post-op for about 4 months. A year went by, and she started to have a lot more pain and inflammation. We went back to our family vet and she said we should restart this medicine. Following the label directions (start with double dose then go to one), within 4 weeks her inflammation was gone, and she was back to running in the back yard pain-free. It is expensive, but I'm not going without it again. I only wish a human supplement was as reliable as Dasuquin.

We have a 14 year old Schnauzer-Yorkie mix. About 5 years ago, she started limping. The vet said it is arthritis and recommend Dasuquin. Within a few days we noticed her walking easier, not limping. We have given it to her every single morning since then and she walks and runs no problems. She loves it too.

I just bought a bottle of this for our dog who just turned 6. She is not having any issues but we are giving it to her to prevent issues that our last dog developed at about that age. Our last dog had issues with his back legs and he would have periods where he had to stay off them and eventually could not jump up on furniture etc. We started this to see if it would help and it did. It's not immediate though. You have to be patient. I would say in a couple months he seemed noticeably better, but the improvement continued for about a year until we noticed he was starting to jump up on furniture again(a small dog..cairn terrier) The other thing we noticed in that time was the muscle tone returning I just bought a bottle of this for our dog who just turned 6.

His back legs had gotten thinner and seemed to have lost muscle plus if I would hold his leg and move it I could feel his joints all popping etc. It got better gradually but after that first year his muscle tone returned and when I would move his legs they felt more secure and not popping or brittle joints. I think we started him on this around age 6-7 and he never had another episode of being lame for a time or any pain for the rest of his life. He lived to be 12 and passed from something unrelated. Anyway our new dog is not having any issues but she is getting to that age so I am giving her the maintenance dose and hopefully we will not have any issues as she ages. We used 1 tablet a day for our first dog. He was about 26 lbs and close to the dose for 30 lb dogs so since he had some issues we did not want to go on the lower dose. We gave 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at dinner. With our current dog she is 17lbs so we are giving her 1/2 tab in the morning. I think that should be good for her.

My dog is very fussy about pills. We were delighted to discover that the flavoring added to Dasuquin is appealing to her. This is very helpful in insuring that she gets the supplement that she needs for her aging joints.

I have been using this for quite some time - the initial (higher) dose. After seeing good results for my arthritic basset hound, I asked my vet and the specialists at our local vet teaching school if it was okay to continue the high dose. They both said the maintenance dosing should suffice, but that I could continue the higher dose if I thought it helped. My dog does not like to chew these tablets so I break them up in the morning and hide them in his meal. Later in the day I also give him Cosequin chews as a treat - one in the afternoon and one early evening - those he likes! *****Wish Chewy would carry the Dasuquin formula with EGGSHELLS, too.

My dog eats his supplement without any issues. Usually spits any type of medicine not this. I would recommend and the bottle is big will probably last for a while.

My dog Pebble had laxation in both her rear legs. The vet recommended Dasuquin with MSM. She is a 32lb Jack Russell/French Bulldog mix that we adopted when she was a puppy and weighed 4lbs. I noticed about a year ago she had started to have a bit of a issue with her limping, so I upped her pill from one to two and it worked! She was back to her normal Bionic self. I wish it wasnt so expensive but we use Chewy's Autoship to make it more affordable.

Whether you are choosing a joint supplement proactively or for a dog with signs of joint issues this is a quality product with seems to have markedly better results than Cosequin (same mfg). My dog isn't on to be fooled by flavor coated medications. This is not a coated tablet. Dasaquin MSM is highly palatable and crumbles when chewed, though in his excitement sometimes my own dog gobbles down without chewing. My vet recommended Dasaquin and warned that some generic products area great, though some do not deliver the desired results. He also recommended Dasaquin over Cosequin (same mfg different ingredients).

It seems to be helping him with his joint pain! My dog loves the taste and is excited to take this supplement each day.

I have a senior dog with achy shaky joints. We used to give her the treat version of this supplement and saw a good turn around. Then when we went to re-order they were sold out so we settled for this. I don’t like how this formula advises the owner to give the dog one serving daily (the treats advise every other day). And like stated earlier, her joints have gone back to shaking.
