Both veterinarians and pet owners seem to agree that Cosequin, by Nutramax Labs, is the most effective and safe joint supplement on the market today. Cosequin is a family of nutritional joint supplements developed and designed to help dogs, cats, and horses maintain healthy joints. The active ingredients are glucosamine and chondroitin, which are also used to prevent and treat arthritis in humans. All Cosequin joint treatments are available without a prescription.

Cosequin is not a drug. It’s a safe, supplemental treatment for your pet containing the raw materials necessary for keeping your pet’s joints flexible and agile as they age. If you’ve noticed your pet limping, having difficulty getting up after resting or just growing stiff in the joints, it’s important to speak with your vet. As your pet ages, joints weaken and deteriorate, sometimes leading to painful arthritic problems, loss of flexibility and mobility - conditions which can really reduce your pet’s quality of life. Why leave your pet’s health and happiness to chance when you can start to prevent these conditions inexpensively and easily today?

For older pets, vets may suggest Cosequin as a protective measure against the onset of arthritis. Joint problems tend to get worse over time, so the sooner your pet begins taking Cosequin the more chance you have of helping to reduce joint health issues. As the cliche goes: prevention is better than cure! Studies have shown that most pets improve quickly after only a few short weeks of treatment. However, not all pets will show improvement. If after a month you don't see any improvement or reduction of pain, this could mean that the cause of their condition may be something else and further diagnosis may be needed. It's best to consult your vet if you decide to try another supplement or more powerful prescription medication such as Rimadyl or Deramaxx.

Cosequin is available in a variety of forms, which allows you to choose the best way to introduce it into your pet's diet routine. Sometimes dogs will not accept capsules, so Cosequin for dogs is available as great tasting chewable tablets or in capsules that can be sprinkled onto food. Cosequin for cats comes in capsules, but is more easily given as a pleasant tasting powder you can sprinkle onto their food. It's flavored with chicken and tuna so even finicky cats will eat it. Cosequin for horses comes as a powder supplement and can be conveniently mixed with their food.

Cosequin comes in regular strength and double strength, although double strength is the most highly recommended, there are situations where regular strength is more appropriate.
