What is Dasuquin?

Dasuquin, in formulations for both dogs and cats, is a nutritional supplement containing proprietary ingredients, which goes above and beyond other supplements with glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate to maintain healthy joints. It is considered the "next generation Cosequin."

For:

Dogs and Cats

Benefits:

• Comprehensive joint support health
• Contains glucosamine, chondroitin and ASU
• Protects cartilage
• Allows pets to enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle
• Dasuquin for Dogs is available in a tasty, easy to administer chewable tablet
• Dasuquin for Cats is available in a sprinkle capsule with tasty natural chicken and tuna flavors
• No adverse side effects

How it Works:

Dasuquin's active ingredients include avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU) which have shown to help protect cartilage and improve joint function. The ASU also helps potentiate the activity of Glucosamine and chondroitin. The combination of all three ingredients supports cartilage production and blocks enzymes that break down cartilage in your pet's body. Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage in both humans and pets. It helps hydrate healthy joints by increasing the production of molecules that bind and hold water in the cartilage. Healthy cartilage provides cushioning which helps protect a pet's joints while exercising. Further research on the effectiveness of glucosamine is still needed, but many of our customers find it to be very beneficial to their pets.

Cautions:

None.
