Nutramax LaboratoriesDasuquin Joint Health Supplement for Cats - With Glucosamine, Chondroitin, ASU, Boswellia Serrata Extract, and Green Tea Extract, 84 Capsules

I think this is a quality and necessary product for cats with arthritis, joint pain, and mobility issues. I like Dasuquin better than Cosequin because of the ingredients. While they are similar, meaning they both contain glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate, Dasuquin contains some extra very special ingredients found in human joint supplements, and that's the reason I choose this product instead of Cosequin. One of those ingredients is boswellia serrata extract, a very effective anti-inflammatory. My husband uses this a Standard Process supplement that contains boswellia for his joints, and I like that it is available for my cats in Dasuquin. Another ingredient: ASUs, or avocado- soybean unsaponifiables, to reduce pain and improve joint function. The only ingredient it doesn't contain, and I wish it did, is hyaluronic acid, which is available in other products made by the manufacturer, Nutramax. Nutramax makes a variety of supplements for other health issues. There are other products promoted for arthritis and joint pain, such as the Assisi Loop, Thermotex far infrared pet bed, laser treatments, or Adequan injections. But even when I use them with my cats, I continue to keep them on Dasuquin for their joint health.

Was recommended by my vet for our cat who was limping. This is our second bottle as it is easy to mix in treats and kitty doesn’t notice flavor or texture! Even better, her limp is gone!

My one cat's hips started to make clicking noises when she walked. I put her and her sister on these and within a few days, the clicking stopped. They're now quite elderly with almost no mobility issues.I take one capsule per cat and pour the powder into their nightly wet food. The capsules separate easily. At first, the cats weren't super thrilled about the powder in their foods but after a few days, they would eat it without any hesitation.From what I can tell, these meds are high quality. The cats seem very happy with the taste and I'm happy with the results

The Senior Cat died just over a month ago aged 18.The vet had recommended Dasuquin as she became increasingly arthriticky even after years on that other 'quin' product - Cosequin. From aged 14 onwards, she was on one Dasuqin daily: I opened the capsule and mixed it in with the wet food and it was never refused.Now who knows if Dasuquin made a real difference or not?All I know is that as a doting owner, I won't quibble if I'm informed that a supplement MAY help but rather, I did what most of us who dote on our pet would do: unhesitatingly plunk down the money and hope it adds to our animal's quality and longevity of life. I changed to buying it from this source because it was much less expensive than getting it via the vet.It took a few months to work fully, but I could see (or thought I could see - same thing, really!) a slight though distinct improvement in the Senior Cat's comfort. She moved less stiffly after a while and this wasn't my imagination since her comfortable quarters were located upstairs and it meant several trips up and down stairs daily to access her Room and Board facilities. Over time, she dragged her back leg less and seemed to get up and move around with far less discomfort. I'm convinced the regular and daily use of Dasuquin made her life during those last years somewhat less painful due to old bones and arthritis. I continued it as part of her daily food routine. The only other supplements she got was the occasional hairball/tartar control snacks and a daily vitamin powder made for Dogs, Cats and Horses. That's it. No treats.Now I'm the least gullible person but when it comes to my pets, I'm gullible as Gomer Pyle and will try anything to make them content and easy.The Scottish Fold lifespan is usually 13-15 years so I suppose I should take comfort in that, at least.I would encourage anyone reading this to try the Dasuquin after checking with your Vet first and even BUYING it from them at the start to level the playing field in favour of smaller, local businesses. I wish I'd had the financial wherewithal to put money where mouth is and had bought Dasuquin from my Vet instead, but having a pet is also a serious financial commitment that needs budgeting if you're someone other than Charlie Munger!Everyone reading this knows - and if you don't, you should - that the time will come (if you're lucky and your animal lives long and well!) when your beloved pet is beyond the help of any supplement, tincture or medication. There's no panacea for that loss.But while they're alive and under your care, I can say with a good deal of certainty that Dasuquin can play its part in keeping them more comfortable and ambulatory than not. Such has been my experience with Dasuquin.Thank-you for reading this review - I trust it's been useful to you ~

This product has certainly improved my beloved 13 year old cat's mobility. I originally was prescribed Dasuquin Advanced by her vet and had to go to the vet office to get refills, but after having the product frequently unavailable when I needed it, I found this similar product formula that seems to work well for her and available when I need it.
