“I’ve been feeding my older English mastiff this supplement for multiple years and I’m simply not sure it works . I’ve seen no legitimate animals studies that prove Glucosamine / Chondroitin and MSM actually have the healing ability everyone thinks. That being said , I see no harm in giving the supplement to my girl. But after multiple years on a 3 tablet a day course, I see no difference. The vet provided anti inflammatory meds work much better and have actual science an data to back them up.”
“Excellent, this product has helped our rescue boxer, she was supposed to have possible knee surgery, with a little bit of therapy and using these chews no surgery.”
“My vet recommended this for a 130 pound livestock dog that was experiencing structural discomfort which was confirmed by xray. This product along with CBD oil has made him more comfortable and he's running again and not moving/walking funny. I missed giving it to him for up to one week and I noticed a change; but, after continuing again, he did improve. Due to his improvement on this product, I am giving it as a preventative to his two brothers and a golden retriever.”
“This product has been great with my 15 year old Yorkie mix,Clifford. It seems to take the edge off his pain. I was using a more expensive medication, and it didn't work as well! Thank you Allivet for your reasonable prices, and excellence in customer service!”
“Although I can’t guarantee my dog won’t die from electrocution as long as his love affair with chargers continues, I try my best to keep him healthy in all other aspects. Issue tackled this mission: Joint health. I eventually settled on Cosequin Joint Support. Around her 9th birthday, my nightly walks with my Akita Sam became less of a ritual and more of a need to go basis, and her visits to my room upstairs became less frequent. Since this was a long term problem and heavy medication would take a toll on her health, I decided to look for other options. It took all of six weeks of the initial period for me to see the effects, but she was noticeably more active and had an easier time going to the bathroom. In her case, the supplement was used as a combative measure for her existing joint damage. After Sam passed away, I became the servant of Oscar the Newf. As he is in the process of growing into a horse, he has noticeable growing pains, which are common in giant breeds. He started taking Cosequin when he was seven months old. In his case, Cosequin is being used as a preventative for future joint damage, and the jury is still out on the verdict of its effectiveness. This is not a painkiller. It will provide support, but Oscar had to take anti-inflammatory meds for a little while to reduce inflammation and pain that was already there. Here are a few tips on administering these giant pills: The Newf is a garbage can and will eat anything, but my Akita was VERY picky and I needed to make them as appealing as possible. I found that a bit of peanut butter or chicken broth on top does the trick. My neighbor also gives half a pill to his elderly Yorki. He soaks it in hot water to melt it and she eats it right up. Just another way to fool your pooch. True to my thrifty nature, I try to find the most affordable products. While a pack of 250 pills at a cost of 54.99 USD might seem expensive, each pill comes out to about 0.22 USD. The maximum dose for a dog over 60 lbs is two pills, which comes out to around 0.44 USD per day. Overall not an overly expensive supplement. Although I’ve never had any issues with indigestion in my dogs, I know others have. It’s important to let your dog get used to the new addition to their diet. In my experience, this usually takes about a week. If the bad reaction persists after then, or your dog has a severe reaction to the supplement, it’s better to take them off of it sooner rather than later and look for other options.”
