Cosequin DS Large is available in chewable tablets which are very palatable to dogs and can be fed as a treat or added to food. They are easy to break for accurate dosage. It is also available as a sprinkle capsule containing a tasteless powder and can be administered by sprinkling over wet or dry food.
Cosequin supports joint condition is many different ways, and can sustain joints in a high state of health. It maintains not only articular cartilage, but also the health of accessory joint structures such as ligaments, tendons and joint fluid. Cosequin is suitable for all dogs and cats that need some joint support- especially active or working dogs and older pets. There are no side effects- Cosequin is extremely safe and can be given with other joint support products. Sometimes the other products can be reduced or stopped- this can be especially important in older animals. Your vet will advise the best programme for your pet.
Cosequin is initially given at a 'loading' amount for 4-6 weeks to restore the depleted stores of building blocks of cartilage. Once the effects are noticed the amount of Cosequin can usually be reduced by half to the maintenance level. Reduction in the amount should be gradual, not more than once a month, on half to one tablet or capsule depending on the size of the pet. Once consistent joint health is achieved these levels can be further reduced to alternate day administration. Please always consult your veterinary surgeon who will advise what is best for your pet.
