Nutramax Dasuquin with MSM Chewables, Large Dog, 150 Count

My nine year old bulldog had been suffering from arthritis in his right elbow for about six months. I also had a two year old bulldog that started developing knee problems around the same time. I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon veterinarian by my local vet.The ortho vet then performed a $3,100 knee replacement surgery on my two year old dog.When I brought my younger dog in for a follow up to her surgery, I brought the older arthritic dog in for an unofficial exam. The reason being that it costs i$150 just to have this specialist see your dog.The vet checked the progress of my younger dog's knee and everything checked out okay. I then asked him to look at my older dog.The vet said he couldn't really diagnose my dog for sure without having X-rays taken , which would cost $450. He then explained that if it were his dog he would try putting him on Science Diet j/d (joint mobility formula) dog food, and Dasuquin tablets.I bought the first batch of Dasuquin, as well as the dog food from their office, pretty much because I felt guilty for avoiding the office visit fee.I had no hopes at all that the Dasuquin or special food would do anything at all. I thought I was basically being sold overrated supplements. When I ran out of the dog food I went back to their regular old food. I did however keep giving both dogs the Dasuquin, mainly as a preventative for the younger dog.I saw no difference at all until after 4-5 months of use. Then, after having gone through 1 1/2 bottles (2 tabs a day per dog) my older dog made DRASTIC IMPROVEMENTS in his mobility. Before the Dasuquin my dog limped severely due to the arthritis in his front right elbow. After the Dasuquin "kicked-in" he limps only slightly. He's now able to jump up on the couch without help, and plays with the other dog.If your dog has arthritis, like mine does, please try this product. Like I said, it took 4-5 months to kick in, and I had really given up hope that it would even work at all. I'm very impressed.

This was highly recommended and we trust this brand for our dog. Good product. Thank You.

This is such a great product!!! It works so well. Most dogs love the smell and taste of it and eat it like a treat and it makes it so easy to give instead of like most "medicine"...my dog isn't that thrilled but as long as I break it into pieces she just eats it in her regular food...still easy for me. Has so many great ingredients in it there really isn't any other option if you ask me!! Honestly compare the ingredients and percentages and you will see what I mean. It's definitely worth the money...but when I find it on sale I double or triple up!!! 😆

Dog doesn’t mind eating them daily this week.

If you're reading this, your dog is probably showing pain in their hips, elbows or shoulders.We switched to this product after years of using Glyco Flex III. We felt it provided as good as, or possibly a little better relief for our dog. But here is the disclaimer: our dog had hip dysplasia, so nothing was going to provide a ton of relief. If your dog has hip dysplasia, this is a band-aid, not a solution. It will help as you dog starts to get a little older and starts to feel pain in the hips. But ultimately it will not last. For larger dogs with normal arthritis in their hips, this can be a magic supplement. At the first sign of stiffness or pain, this can be very effective.If your dog has hip dysplasia, this should be part of the remedy, but not the only thing. We found that water therapy was very effective in keeping our dog's hips moving and her surrounding muscles strong. A vet or physical therapist can give you simple exercises and stretches that you can do with your dog that will also offer them some relief. We also tried cold laser therapy that also provided some relief. We also gave our dog a daily dose of a non-steroidal anti-inflammation medicine called Metacam. It's very expensive stuff that needs a prescription from your vet, and you might find it prohibitively expensive. We found that it provided the most relief. But look into all four of these therapies, they'll definitely help your dog.Remember that hip dysplasia is a physiological condition that can't be reversed, so when your dog is diagnosed, take the long term view, and your goal should be to keep your dog strong, healthy and supple enough to be able to walk on their own into their advanced years.As with all supplements, consult your vet first. Best of luck.

This product has been exactly what I needed for my big dog. The chewable tablets are easy to give and the ingredients seem high-quality. My dog seems more active and mobile since starting it. I appreciate that it's US manufactured and vet recommended. Overall, happy with the results so far.

I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but giving this regularly to our dog, she hasn't been gimpy after daycare sessions for over a year. No trouble jumping into my car, even once. She takes these chewables like a champ.

My dog would not eat the edible treats of this so I resorted to the pill. I put them in milk bone pill pockets and he has no problem taking them. We are about to start week four I noticed a slight improvement after third week hoping it keeps working.After 6 weeks this stuff works!!!! We are on week 12 now and I am soooo happy to see the difference they have made in his life. Not much wows me but this product has me 100%.
