Dasuquin with MSM and Cosequin DS Plus MSM (both by Nutramax Labs) are excellent products. I prefer these because it is the same company that makes the human product, Cosamin, and one of the few companies that submits its products for outside testing to verify ingredients. The GlycoFlex line of products would also be one to consider. These are my own personal recommendations.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is a great question! I think the ones that are specifically designed for dogs are way more complete. I would recommend you consider Cosequin or Dasuquin as both cover all the joint supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin that are great for joint health. Both of these are over the counter. You are usually able to see a marked improvement within weeks to a few months. Best of luck!

No, there is no difference between the active ingredients of glucosamine and MSM in Dasuquin or human labeled products. However, there is very little regulation and oversight with any supplements - human or veterinary. This means that some manufacturers put too little or way too much of an active ingredient in a supplement, regardless of the label claims. Personally, I often recommend using the Nutramax products (manufacturer of Dasuquin) since I'm more comfortable with their testing than with many other brands on the market. I hope that helps to answer your question and that a joint supplement benefits Honeybear!

Give them according to the instructions on the bottle. I would just give the Dasuquin as it is more comprehensive and better Quality Both preparations contain chondroitin and glucosamine, but Dasuquin has additional ingredients which enhance the bioavailability.

Dasuquin may work for Sable. I'd check that out! Cosequin has glucosamine derived from shellfish. You said she is allergic to seashells, but did you mean shellfish? If you meant shellfish, then Cosequin won't be good for her.
