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.

Vet recommended. I chose the tabs because my dog eats her flea med tabs quite easily, and I read some dogs had trouble with the chews... BUT note that the dose is one half tab for any dog under 30 lbs. So that means YOU GET TO CHOP EVERY PILL IN HALF. I did find that even for the (initial 4 weeks) full-pill dose, cutting in half was helpful because they are quite thick and chalky and hard for a smaller dog to chew. Seems like making them half the size would have made a lot more sense.

This review is LONG overdue. This particular brand and WITH the MSM was recommended to us by our veterinarian for our 15 year old dog that had over time lost her ability to climb up and down our stairs, jump on the sofa where she loves to sun and jump up on our bed. Our vet told us that he had really good results with this particular brand of glucosamine because we told him we HAVE tried other glucosamine products without noticing much of anything. For me, it was worth a try because we love our dog and want her to be comfortable if that is possible without medicating her to the point of her being groggy. So we gave it a try. WOW, not even kidding you, within about 7-10 days she hopped up on the sofa! (I almost cried .. I was so happy!), she also now runs up and down the stairs without any problems at all. She does not jump on the bed anymore but in fairness, our bed is REALLY high off the ground and I suspect that it's just too much for her jumping down also... (she IS 15). The fact that she can now get on the sofa and go up and down the stairs has sold me to this product and I couldn't be happier.If your dog is suffering the same fate, I would suggest to even just buy the smallest bottle of this to try because we noticed the change relatively quick. I have recommended to my friends who also have older dogs and one that is young but struggles with hip issues and every single one of them has reported good results and continues to buy this product.Thanks Nutramax - love this product and my dog loves it even more!

Our Vet prescribed this to our fur baby, works wonders for him and he moves so much better. After about a few weeks, we noticed a pep in his step. The only difference from the vet prescribed to these is the size. The other ones (vet) are easier to break in half, I struggle with a knife. Overall, amazing product!

My dog’s been taking this for years for his bones. It’s a good product. I thoroughly recommend it.
