What is Cosequin for Cats?

Cosequin is a nutritional supplement that helps cats maintain healthy joints. It has been rated the number one veterinarian-recommended joint health supplement brand. It is also recommended by veterinarians to support bladder health. Cosequin has a positive impact on joint health, while avoiding the side effects that can accompany prescription drugs.
For: Cats
 
Benefits:
Effective joint pain relief in cats
Contains TRH122® low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate, which makes it easier for the digestive system to absorb
Comes highly recommended by veterinarians
Considerably fewer side effects than other similar medications
Also supports bladder health
Comes in a tasty chicken and tuna flavored sprinkle capsule

How it works:
Cosequin for Cats contains a unique combination of TRH112 sodium chondroitin sulfate, FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, and manganese ascorbate to help maintain the structure of your cat's joint cartilage while slowing down the enzymes that break down cartilage. Since the inner lining of the bladder wall is protected by a layer which contains some of the same compounds that are found in cartilage, Cosequin for Cats may also be used to support bladder health.

Cautions:
Side effects are rare but may include diarrhea.

Learned by mistakes I just bought this from my cats Vet and paid $40.50 for it. I thought it was quite expensive, but needed it right away. Came home and looked up PetMeds and was dumbfounded at the difference in the cost. In the future, I will definitely buy it from PetMeds. 04/07/2011
Surprising UTI Treatment Like the reviewer below, our vet also recommended Cosequin for bladder infections. I found our poor cat in a bush on a rainy day when he was about 4 weeks old. After bottle feeding him and then weaning him, the food we weaned him on caused a kidney disorder called Fanconi Syndrome (have to watch out for foods that contain products made in China!). It is usually fatal in cats but we were lucky enough to catch it. Long story and chain of events but with the involvement of some amazing professionals, he is still with us. Now, due to the kidney disorder, he gets chronic UTI's. Our vet, who is one of those amazing professionals, recommended Cosequin for his UTI's. Since giving him this supplement daily, he hasn't had a UTI since! With everything else this poor cat has been through and the daily treatment regime he has to undergo for his disease, it is really nice that he doesn't have to suffer with chronic UTI's on top of it! 04/07/2011
Really awesome product My 15yr old (16lb) cat Codi is feeling so much better, She has arthritis in her back. She was limping, couldn't jump well, had a hard time jumping down from our bed, hard time going up and down the stairs. Her main problem was constipation. The Dr. said she wouldn't push hard to use the bathroom, because it hurt her back too much. I have to tell you our Vet prescribed this for her last month. And within a week or so she was more spry and frisky than she has been in years. Her eyes seem brighter and she seems so much happier. I would recommend this product to anyone! Hope this helps. 03/29/2011
Great product Our beloved cat (15 year old Dusty) was starting to have a little trouble getting around. After a few days of 1 pill a day, I noticed he was walking a little better. Now after 2 weeks I can say he continues to improve ! Great product ! 03/16/2013
This product is wonderful My cat, who is 14+ years old, a little over weight, has problems jumping. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try! One of the best things I have bought for my cat. Dreamer is very finicky. He will be snooty towards his wet food sometimes, but he always eats the Cosequin For Cats. I am noticing a definite improvement in his ease of jumping up now. I highly recommend this product. 03/07/2013

My male cat is diabetic, 17 years old and suffers from arthritis due to a torn ACL in his youth. I realize there are some risks to taking a glucose product for a diabetic animal, but otherwise is it safe?

Answer: 
Hi there, Unfortunately when it comes to diabetic animals you would need to ask your vet. Every dog or cat may react differently due to diabetic medication or simply unforseen issues so your vet would be able to give you the best medical opinion since he knows your Furry Friend the best.

My kitty has been taking Dasuquin for almost his whole life (he is three). he has conformity issues and also is on special food (Urinary ISO). So my question is this: Can he safely be switched to Cosequin and have the same results??

Answer: 
Erica,

Thank-you for your question. Both products are safe and you would be able to switch between the two if you'd like. The issue is that there's SIGNIFICANTLY less Glucosamine in Cosequin. There's not as much of a difference in the amounts of Chondrointin in Cosequin but it is a lot less as well. With that being said, if your kitty is doing well on the Dasuquin I wouldn't switch as I don't think the results would be the same considering there is less active ingredients. Hope this helps!

I recommend opening the Cosequin capsule and sprinkling it on your cat's food. My cat loves the tuna and chicken flavor! He meows for me to put it on his wet canned every morning for breakfast!
