I used this for a period of time with my older dog she was having a hard time getting around it helped her so much she was able to chase the ball again after being on it for about 1 month.

Pros: Helps them to get around more easily

Cons: none

I saw no benefit with this glucosamine product. It is expensive, I had to feed my dog 4 tablets a day which was twice as much as other glucosamine products I have tried, but the product cost the same, so I was paying twice as much. The capsules are worthless, if you sprinkle it on their food or try to hide it in a treat, my dog always found it or would not eat it. The tablets my dog would actually eat. I switched to glycoflex III which had double the strength in each tablet so I can give my dog half as many tablets, and the same amount of tablets cost the same as the cosamine DS, but lasts twice as long. I also saw great improvement with the glycoflex III where I saw no improvement with the cosamine DS. I do not recomend this product, but I do recommend the Glycoflex III if you are looking for a joint supplement for your pet.

Pros: tablets were easy to feed and dogs liked the taste

Cons: saw no benefit

I have 2 English Mastiffs. They both have arthiritis and the vet recomended a glucosamine product. We initially started them on Glycoflex III and had great reasults. Upon relocating and changing vets, they changed our dogs to Cosamine DS. Within about a month it seemed like we were not giving our dogs anything at all. Their movement and ability and desire to play declined drastically. We switched them back to the Glycoflex and within a couple months they were back to getting around easily and playing like they were puppies. It has proven to me that not all glucosamine products are the same. Both of these products are expensive, but they are the same price range. If I am going to spend this kind of money I want to see results and I did not see any results with this product.

Pros: taste

Cons: did not see any results and it is expensive

My dog had a shoulder lameness issue and was sent to a specialist - While he was put on a special medication at the time - I also started him on Cosequin DS - He is more agile than ever - and appears to be pain free. You can tell his joints are more flexible now. Unfortunately, It is not cheap. Depending on where you buy it, It can run you somewhere from $100-$130 for a bottle of 250, but depending on the weight of the dog, they can take 3 or more a day.

Pros: It Works

Cons: Price

Cosequin is very easy to feed [tablet], my lab loves the tabs and her arthritis is getting better each day. It has taken a few weeks to get into her system [just like the directions stated], but the resutls are wonderful. It is a tad expensive, but her well being is much more important to me than the cost of this medication.

This is easy to feed and very effective...having trouble with the star thing - sorry!

Pros: Easy To Feed - great results for my Lab

Cons: a little expensive
