What is Cosequin for Dogs?

Cosequin plays an important role in maintaining optimal joint function. Healthy articular (joint) cartilage is crucial to joint utility. Cosequin helps support cartilage production and protect existing cartilage from breakdown. Cosequin is the only glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement that has been shown safe, effective, and bioavailable in peer-reviewed, published, controlled, U.S. veterinary studies. Cosequin is manufactured following standards similar to those practiced by the pharmaceutical industry.

Cosequin is available in Double Strength (DS) capsules and tasty chewable tablets and in Regular Strength capsules and soft chews for dogs.

Instructions for use:

The recommended initial administration period is four to six weeks; however, some dogs may respond in a shorter period of time. The number of scored chewable tablets may then be reduced to the maintenance level.

† Once consistent improvement has been seen, these maintenance levels may be reduced to an every other day administration. The maintenance level can also be used long term on healthy dogs to help support their joints.
