Nutramax Laboratories Dasuquin with MSM Chewable Tablets For Small/Medium Dog

Long detailed review because I know how important our pups are to us! Strongly recommend this vitamin!!Background: my dog is 5 was diagnosed with hip dysplasia in February and takes prescribed anti-inflammatories daily. He’s an ACD and enjoyed being active until issues started.Issues: mild stiffness in both hips & his hip will pop occasionally if he twists/turns too quickly. Sleeping a lot and reluctant to go outside and completely uninterested in playing fetch. He normally asks to go outside but stopped completely when issues started, even when taking the anti-inflammatories. Not sure if it was just pain or maybe a little depression but instead of laying/napping on couch with me he would hide and nap in his quiet den spot in bedroom alone.Results only weeks after starting this vitamin: he’s sleeping less and wants to go outside and walk and play fetch again. After one week he started ringing his bells on doorknob to ask to go outside and go for walk. Today, now several weeks on vitamin, he got mad I wasn’t fast enough after the bell ring so he tracked me down and barked at me and pushed me to the door. Last time he was that excited for a walk was almost a year ago. I’ve noticed his movement is much more fluid. I’m still following veterinary directions with frequency/duration of exercise so I can only speak for mild daily activity of 20 minutes walking everyday. I’m also careful with fetch games I make sure he doesn’t have to turn/twist to catch.Side effects: he had gas at first and hates the taste. So I broke it up and mixed it with a little bit of fatty fragrant food like an egg or unsalted salmon. Mayo works too in a pinch I’ll mix his kibble with a little bit and then mix in pill pieces. He doesn’t like peanut butter but I imagine that would be great way for others. This fixed reluctancy to eat & the horrific smelling farts. I made sure I followed directions starting out with smaller dose. He had some runny stools at first but week two they were back to normal.Hope this review helps someone. Wish I would have bought this from the start. It warms my heart to see him happier & enjoying activities again! His general comfort has improved which improved his mood. Pics of him enjoying walks again and clunking out happily on couch after walk & playing fetch. Complete improvement and in less than a month. SO GRATEFUL for this product!

Our 14 year old Jack Russel had started slowly acting like older dogs do. Slower walking, getting and a little stiff in the hips. After our vet noticed it she gave us a list of different supplements to try. I don’t really believe in stuff like this but I thought I’d try it on her and if I didn’t see an obvious improvement I’d just quit buying it and figure such is life. Well in about 3 weeks it was very obvious. She’s a long legged jrt and she’s once again prancing when she walks much like a performing walking horse does. So I’m a believer now. We even started calling her prancer when she goes outside and we both get up to watch her in the yard prancing around with her little nub of a tail on full wiggle. This is definitely worth the risk. I know it worked for our girl and I’m definitely not canceling this subscription

This is a miracle for my dog. This was recommended by our veterinarian,and we've seen major improvements in my 10 year old dog. She has flexibility and runs around like a puppy. Highly recommend.

I needed to give this to my aging dog but didn’t want to add another “treat” to my dog’s diet with the chews. I add 1/2 tab to my dog’s breakfast every day with some peanut butter. They are chalky though - so it can’t be given alone, my dog won’t eat it. The only caveat is that you need to cut it in half with a SHARP knife, or it will crumble.

These seem to help my dog who has had TPLO surgeries on both of her knees. She has received them faithfully every single day since and will continue to do so for the rest of her life. She won’t eat them though, so I need to dissolve them in water before adding it to her food. They are a hard tablet and don’t really smell like anything so they seem like they don’t have any added flavor so they likely don’t appear appetizing to any dog. But they seem to be helping her joints and that’s all that matters!

This product has been exactly what our dogs needed for their joint health. The inclusion of MSM is particularly beneficial. The fact that it's easy to serve and comes in a chewable tablet format really makes the difference. Plus, it contains Glucosamine, which is a key component for joint support. We recently switched all our dogs to the MSM version on the recommendation of our vet, and we're happy with the results. Highly recommended if your canine companion needs joint support.

My little JRT injured her ACL in February. We can't afford a $3000+ surgery especially when the outcome was not a guarantee it would fix her; we tried the prescription anti-inflammatories which did help but we could only use them for a limited amount of time. We tried the braces which were an absolute waste of money and time. We tried the dog glucosamine/chondroitin medication from PetArmour which didn't seem to do much either. We had 8 weeks of experimentation and she could not bear weight on her leg during that time. So our vet told us about Dasuquin. We put our dog on it and within a week, she was putting weight on her leg. It's been 3 weeks now and she can actually walk on it without a limp, can actually climb the ramp to get on the couch without any problems, back to digging holes, and looks a lot happier and pain free. We cut the pills in quarters and feed it to her in lunch meat and she does fine with it. I have been very pleased with the product and it's by far less expensive than surgery.
