Nutramax Cosequin for Dogs Joint Health Supplement, Contains Glucosamine for Dogs, Plus Chondroitin, Supports Healthy Joints, Chewable Tablets, 250 Count

My elder dog seems to respond to this. She has wobblers, and seems to walk better when taking this. Any support is better than none.

First, I'd like to say that this joint health supplement has been a great addition to my dog's diet. The 250 count offers high value for the price. These high-quality chewable tablets are a hit with my dog. Not only are they easy to administer, but they also provide excellent joint health support. Plus, they're manufactured right here in the US, which gives me extra peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.

I usually don’t write reviews but this product is a miracle worker. We have a 5 year old 100 lb GSD, and a 2 story house. Several months ago he was noticeably slowing down; tripping up the stairs, struggling to jump in the backseat of the car. We were so worried and my boyfriend did some research and found these and thought we’d give them a try. I kid you not within 2-3 weeks he seemed drastically improved. He no longer has trouble getting in vehicles and is easily able to maneuver the stairs again. He’s bounding around the yard during playtime like he’s two years younger. It is shocking; I didn’t imagine a simple daily supplement could make that much of a difference but here we are! Definitely give these a try if your dog is having some joint motion issues. I can’t say they work every time, but I was super impressed with the results for our dog.

I have a German shepherd I’ve been using this since I got her at two years old, she’s now 12 the vet cannot believe that she is healthy as she is. That being said I do make all of her food myself I don’t use the garbage that you buy in the store except for a third of a cup of hard food mixed with warm water overnight that I give with the rest of her mixture. But trust me I’ve always had big dogs and I always seem to get more out of them and anybody thinks You should and yes they’re all spoiled rotten and no they don’t bite they’re not guard dogs but they sure enjoyed the neighborhood and the neighborhood sure enjoys them.

vet recommended it and it is cheaper on Amazon.My dogs require half a tablet and two will eat the tablet, one won't touch it so I have to crush hers and hide it in some canned dog food.Two of the three have had surgery on their back knees - one had a traumatic injury to one knee and now has pins, the other had two bad knees due to luxating patellas. The third is too old to undergo surgery (11) and occasionally has a knee slip out, so the vet was adamant we give her this stuff plus some omega fish oil stuff daily to keep her joints from becoming a problem we can't fix.It has only been a year that they have been on it and I don't know if it is working or if there isn't a problem (yet or again). Hard to tell for sure if it works or not. I gave it four stars for the vet's recommendation and for the fact that two out of three dogs surveyed think it is yummy stuff.

I love this product!! Here is why:I got my first German Shepherd puppy about a 1-1/2 years ago, and didn't realize the importance of checking into the soundness of her parents' hips and joints. Before she was even one year old, she had back-to-back incidents where she hurt herself playing with our other dog, and exhibited lameness in her back leg. She was in so much pain I had to help her up the outside steps, getting behind her with hands under her belly to hold her back legs up so she could climb up with her front legs.When it happened the 2nd time, we took her to the local vet, who felt her back joints, and said they felt "mushy", like they were not solid at all. She said we'd gotten a "lemon". She recommended we take our GS to a Vet who specializes in orthopedic surgery to check her out.The ortho vet took X-rays and did numerous other tests, and told us our GS had two bad back ACLs, as well as hip dysplasia. He recommended she get both knees operated on, one after the other. She would have to be on restricted activity during the lengthy recovery time of 3-6 months per knee. In addition, each operation would cost a couple thousand dollars! We were upset to think of our energetic, fun loving young dog getting laid-up for so long. We knew she'd hate it. And I was shocked at the estimated cost; it might not have seemed like much to the Vet, but it was a lot of money to me. I could come up with the money if I had to. But it would mean taking money from something else (like work on our house that needed to be done, such as buying a new furnace). And on top of that, I was concerned about whether this was really the right thing to do, especially since it had been a few weeks since she'd exhibited lameness. So I needed to think about it.In talking about the situation with a friend, he told me about Cosequin DS, and I looked it up immediately, I was impressed by the positive reviews, and ordered some immediately. We started our GS on the "initial dosage" right away.So what happened? Our GS has been injury-free ever since she's been on Cosequin (several months now). She runs and plays with our other dog, dashing and darting around our yard like any normal, healthy young dog. She is happy, active and enjoying her life. She does not exhibit any symptoms of being in distress, even thought the ortho Vet said she would be in constant pain without the operations.Will she someday need to have the knee operations? I don't know. I do believe that the vet saw knee and hip problems. But my gut tells me, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", at least not as long as her quality of life is so good.So yes, I LOVE this product, and highly recommend it to others. I don't know if your results will be as good as ours, but I hope so, and it is certainly worth a try!
