Nutramax Laboratories Dasuquin with MSM Soft Chews Large Dog 84 Count, brown

Our dogs have been on this for years, and we swear by it for maintaining their joint health, mobility, and overall quality of life. We've seen firsthand how effective these are as it helps them stay active longer, and we truly believe it has contributed to their longer, healthier lives.One of the best parts is that all of my dogs love the taste—they see it as a treat and never turn their noses up at it! They also smell like beef bouillon, which probably explains why my pups get so excited for them.At $83.99 every three months, it’s somewhat expensive, but for what it provides to my three babies, it's worth every penny. If you want to keep your dog's joints in top shape, I highly recommend this supplement—it’s an investment in their health and happiness!

I’ve been giving my dog Koda Dasuquin for a few months now, and the difference has been amazing. He’s a big, active dog who loves to run and swim, but I started noticing some stiffness and hesitation getting up after naps. Since starting Dasuquin, he moves so much more comfortably and seems more like his old playful self again. He has no problem taking the chew — he actually thinks it’s a treat! I feel good knowing it’s supporting his joint health as he gets older. Highly recommend to anyone with a senior or active pup in need of joint supplement.

I switched my dog from cosequin to Daquan and it has made a huge difference!! We have a 10 year old pup who was limping, slow to get up and didn’t want to play with the younger pup. After making the switching and adding some fish oil our 10 year old is keeping up with the 2 year old and no longer in pain!!! His energy has increased and pain decreased!! The chews aren’t too hard either. He eats them without issues daily.

I have a stupendously precious lab mix. She is 14.5 years old and finally started to show her age. Have I prayed over his dog? Yes. No joke. Love her. And thank God, she is doing great. But indeed to live is to age, and with her aging has come stiffness in her back legs and some painful whimpering here and there, usually when she is trying to get comfortable. I had initially looked these chews up for her 1/2 sister who suffered from the same arthritic issues. ***HEAR ME. THESE THINGS WORK.**** When she is on this product- This dog gets downright sassy and frisks around without whimpering or whining. Sometimes she even runs! Chases! Dashes! Much frisking!I find her mobility to be clearly different when she is on this product versus when she is NOT.She even stopped looking so stiff. It’s great.They are a firm chew that doesn’t crumble to bits. The smell isn’t horrible, and even if it was, she likes them, so who cares.I know these are expensive, but if you are ON THE FENCE, I strongly encourage you to buy a bag and give them a go. Follow their recommended dosing. I am extremely impressed with this product and it has been incorporated into our dog’s daily treat time.

Update, May 9th, 2023: I still think this stuff works great and I love how it's helping our old girl, but how in the world can they justify the cost going up 20 bucks in less than a year?! It was expensive to begin with but $80 now?! So dogs with arthritis that don't have rich families just get to suffer in pain? I'm so disappointed with this price hike. Took a star off for this.I started my 14 year old yellow lab on Dasuquin right from the vets office back in August. Within a month I would see a difference in how she was moving. Before Dasuquin she was struggling to get up and down flights of stairs. She couldn't run. She can no longer jump up and stand on her hind legs. If you walk behind her, you can see how she holds her hips that she's definitely in pain.But since starting her on Dasuquin, WOW. What a difference. She still cannot stand on her hind legs but now she can go up and down stairs again, she *tries* to run, which will actually last about 2 seconds before she realizes she's physically unable to anymore. She will go on a walk or hike now and last about a mile.I know I cannot make her into a puppy again, and I was really resisting trying anything stronger on her in the way of meds. I knew she was struggling but didn't want to drug her up. Dasuquin seems to be the middle ground I was looking for and will continue to give her until the day comes that she absolutely needs something stronger.She's been around a long time and has had a great life with so much love. She was found as a stray with puppies and turned into the local shelter. We strongly suspect she escaped a puppy mill. There are a lot in the area where she was found. When we went up to the shelter to look at dogs, all the puppies had already been adopted out. She was alone in a kennel, looking pretty sad. As soon as my ex husband's eyes and hers met, I knew it was all over. It was love at first sight. I knew she would be coming to live with us. And she's been with us for the past 12 years, watching our children grow, protecting them and her yard, being such a great dog.Unfortunately my ex is in a place now where he's not allowed to have a dog so I've taken her until he can take her back. She's ok, she's still with her pack, she lived with me for years and most of the kids are still home. She lives with our other dog Paz and they have a very good life hanging out together. We will certainly miss her lots when it's time for her to leave us and I think we are all preparing ourselves mentally for that day but while she's still here I'm going to make sure I can do what I can to keep her as comfortable and pain free as possible. She's still a very happy dog so Dasuquin must be doing something right!I highly recommend. It's expensive but worth it.Update, about a year later: Silly me I thought we would try to go with a less expensive brand that seemed to have the same active ingredients. My dog paid the price. She was obviously in pain again. Gave up and got another bag of dasaquin and she's right back to feeling good again. I'm sorry, Molly, I won't switch your arthritis relief again. But it certainly confirms that dasaquin does the job!

I was skeptical of the other reviews claiming how quickly their dogs responded while on this supplement, but found it to be true for my 14-yr old chocolate lab. She'd been having some mobility issues and some tenderness in her hip and paw. She likes the taste of these "treats" and within a week of starting, there was a noticeable improvement in her ease of getting up, walking and moving about. The length and duration of her walks has also increased, suggesting this is giving her joints some comfort. She did have diarrhea the first day but it did not persist, and it didn't otherwise give her tummy trouble. We'll continue to use!

This is a really positive review because this product has been phenomenal for my large dog. The 150 count pack is a great value. It's specifically tailored for large dogs, which is hard to find. Plus, the inclusion of MSM in the ingredient list is a major plus. I can't recommend this product enough!
