Nutramax Dasuquin MSM Joint Supplement, Small/Med Dogs, Chew Tablets150ct

This supplement changed my dog’s life! He has two luxating patellas so he often walked with a little skip every few steps. After taking this for about a month or two now, he doesn’t skip AT ALL. He didn’t appear in pain before but I can tell he’s much happier during walks now. The price is worth it, especially because it has so many pills.

I use these pills daily for my dog with joint issues. Seems to help. Cheaper than buying from the vet.

Great product, great price. Fast delivery as well!

It is extremely rare that I place a "life changing" tag on anything. I don't live my life in superlatives and consider myself to be very critical when analyzing any products. I do not hand out 5-star reviews on every product I buy. We have two beagles, now 11 and 13. The younger one started to slow down significantly about 2 years ago. He also became much hairier and was constantly seeking heat. The vet ran some tests and determined he had an underactive thyroid. We put him on thyroid medication and got his levels back to where they should be. Unfortunately, his energy and flexibility only improved slightly. He was still noticeably lethargic, loved laying in the Texas sun (even with the extra hair), and didn't have much motivation for his usual long walks. The vet recommended glucosamine with MSM as some quick physical tests showed stiffening of his joints and tenderness in his back. The vet cautioned that since glucosamine is a supplement, it isn't regulated (read: no clinical trials required). Therefore, some glucosamines are as effective as a placebo. They recommended seeking guidance from a pharmacist or talking to other owners. I saw this as an opportunity to look into the rich reviews from Amazon.com. I started off with a liquid glucosamine product. It had great reviews. Not only was it messy, but the dogs hated it. Yes, I proactively started giving it to our older dog, too. After the first bottle, I didn't see much of a difference. I tried a popular glucosamine pill after that and again, no difference. We also tried a milk-based anti-inflammatory supplement as we had read that this may help. It did, but it was short-lived. We started to wrap our heads around the fact that this might be the beginning of the end. Our dog continued to be lethargic, stiff, and almost depressed. He used to love taking 2+ mile walks and playing in the yard. He did none of this now. It was really depressing to watch. Again, back to Amazon, I did a lot of research and found Dasuquin with MSM. The reviews were glowing and the price was high. Naturally, I was skeptical that this new generation of joint care would be any different. I committed and started him on the "loading cycle." After about 7 days, our old dog started to come back. His desire for walks started to return, he would hang out in the yard, and his confidence improved. At about 2-3 weeks (as the loading cycle completed and we moved to the maintenance cycle), his condition improved even more. At one month, he was about peaked. He now is the first one in-line for walks, wants to stay out the longest, will play in the yard all day, and is confident in doing so. It's like having a 2 year old dog again. Now, after 14 months, we have him and his older brother on a strict maintenance of Dasuquin. Everything is the same as it was at a month in. He is 11 and is doing great. My sense is that as he started to feel better, he became more active. When he was more active, he built up his muscle tone. With increased muscle tone, he was able to be active and flexible and feel good about it. All in all, he is confident, happy, and active. I really couldn't be happier with this product. More recently I sold my brother-in-law on it for his 5 year old English Bulldog. His dog developed tender and sore back legs (common) and began to do less exercise due to discomfort. His experience was almost identical. Results at 1 week, improving up to 4 weeks, peaking and continuing for the past 6 months. He is very happy. Most recently, I turned my mom onto it for her 11 year old German Shepherd with similar joint weakness and discomfort. After just 5 days, she is reporting that her dog has shown a big increase in energy and flexibility. She has been very happy so far and I expect that to continue. All in all, I am extremely pleased with this product. It is one of the very few products I will sell people on. I believe in it wholeheartedly. It truly changed the life of our dog and we are very grateful to have found it.

I think I notice a difference with my little guy. He’s getting up there in age and according to my BF he’s more mobile/energetic. Baby loves the taste as well! He thinks they are yummy treats!

Dasuquin with MSM for Dogs Under 60 lbs. was recommended to me per our dog's orthopedic surgeon. Since we adopted her she has had to have both of her knees replaced. She is a senior dog and smaller in size. We were fortunate that a member of our rescue group donated a slightly used bottle of Dasuquin to us that she was no longer able to use. That was our first initial experience with the product. Our dog's surgeon advised me as to how much to give and for how long to administer the initial loading dose as per our dog's weight and now we are on a daily maintenance dose. Our dog has been on the Dasuquin now for three full months. We walk daily up to three miles and I do believe it has made her more comfortable. She also has a history of disc problems in her back and we have not seen any problems in that respect since she has been on the Dasuquin product. I started our other dog on this product at the same time as well as she has a luxating patella. I was told this product will help stabilize the knee joint for this problem. If our dogs are more active on a certain day, for example the weekend, I give the loading dose for that day to offer more support and comfort to the joints. What I like about the Dasuquin is my surgical dog has not had a need for Rimadyl since starting this supplement. Our dog's orthopedic surgeon said though if Rimadyl was needed, there would not be a problem with both products being compatible. Both of our dogs eagerly eat the Dasuquin tablet...they think they are getting a daily treat. I would rate this product with four stars. This was my initial purchase with Amazon. The product was fresh and brand new and in excellent condition when I received it. I received my order within the time frame stated when I made the purchase. The expiration date is over three years out. Following the process to check out when I purchased this item on Amazon was very self explanatory and convenient. The "free" shipping and handling was definitely a plus! My reason for rating this item with four stars and not five, is that it is a very expensive product, but worth trying if you are an animal lover like myself. By purchasing this product on Amazon I saved $30 compared to what my local general veterinarian would have charged me. Our dog's orthopedic surgeon does not carry this product in his office, so he advised me to purchase on-line. Unless I am advised differently, I'm sure my surgical dog and most likely my other dog with the luxating patella, will remain on this product for the rest of their lives as I was told when you operate on a joint you will have to deal with arthritis in the future.

This was recommended by my vet. I have a ten lb chi mix, with trick elbows Does not cause him pain, but vet said could cause arthritis, which it has. He's about 12 yrs old, and started limping on front and back legs. I tried the chews, but Hank wouldn't eat. So I bought these tablets,which he still doesn't like, but I crush them, and mix in his food, with a little shredded chicken. That worked. I'm VERY happy with the results! Instead of slowly looking limping down the stairs, he now comes running! It took about 3 weeks see results, but it seems like it took a couple of years off of him. He's a much happier, more comfortable guy now!

My 3 1/2 year old dog started showing signs of a luxating patellar so I started her on Dasuquin based on a recommendation from a friend. Her symptoms cleared up in a matter of days and she has been fine for about a month now. Fingers crossed this holds long term.

Works well for older dogs mobility without having to use drugs

Works as expected. Great product.

dog ate these quite happily , no side effects

Seems to being making a real difference in our 13 1/2 year old terrier. He is moving much better!

I thought that I was going to have to subject my pomeranian puppy to knee surgery. He was walking/running on three legs but he's been on Dasuquin for a year now and he isn't limping anymore
