| Vet Review | A wonderful joint supplement made by the Nutramax company, this newer joint supplement is often considered the next generation cosequin. While it has the glucosamine and chondroitin found in the cosequin product, Dasuquin contains additional joint health promoting ingredients, including avocado/soybean products that have been clinically shown to enhance joint function, especially in those pets with severe arthritis. The only thing I don¿t like about some of the Nutramax products is the inclusion of some dyes and artificial flavorings listed in the ingredients, which as a holistic veterinarian does bother me to some degree. Dasuquin, however performs wonderfully in practice on the toughest cases of arthritis, making it one of my favorite products to reach for. The only other minor negative is the high cost of the product, however I truly believe the price is well worth it with this excellent joint supplement. I give it an overall rating of a 5 out of 5. | One of my favorite long term and reliable joint supplements that has been out for years is the product Glyco-Flex classic by Vetri-Science. The main ingredient in this wonderful product, known as perna canaliculus(the green lipped mussel) has many years of clinical research behind its use in the human field for helping treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This product was the very first offered by one of the most trustworthy and reliable companies in Vetri-Science, and was the basis for many of their other wonderful Glyco-Flex products. This product helps to maintain healthy joints and connective tissue health, and so it is an excellent product to use as a preventative in those pets predisposed to hip or joint problems. The only cautions I can bring up is to check with your veterinarian if a pet is diabetic, as well as if there is a history of urinary tract stones. I find that any digestive side effects are prevented by giving the chewable supplement with food. It should also be avoided in pregnant and breeding animals. I give this product an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5. |
