The recommended initial administration period is four to six weeks; however, some dogs may respond in a shorter period of time. The number of Cosequin DS capsules may then be reduced to the maintenance level. The capsules can be pulled apart and the contents sprinkled on the pet's food. Wet or moist food is preferred to ensure that the pet gets the entire amount.
 
Once consistent improvement has been seen, these maintenance levels may be reduced to an every other day administration. The maintenance level can also be used long-term on healthy dogs to help support their joints

Our rescue dal came with cruciate damage and was holding up the leg. We began Cosequin therapy immediately with this product. He still has discomfort but the leg is down 97% of the time and he has no difficulty with long walks, although his favorite is still running the fence against another dog.

Due to my dog Sam's allergies, the Vet suggested that I use the Cosequin DS capsules since there are no flavor additives or binders that might impact his allergies. They are easy to sprinkle on his food and he doesn't have any reaction to added flavoring or binders.

Unbelievable savings on the your site, in comparison to the cost at our vets office. We have given our dogs Cosequin DS for years and we think it improves their joint movement. Our vet recommended it years ago and we have kept our dogs on it since. Our dog who has some shoulder problems and the Cosequin seems to keep him pain-free. I highly recommend it for all mature dogs.

A great supplement! My dog has been more spunky and active. Great product and on Allivet's site best price on the W.W.W. I would recommend this product to all my friends and family for their dogs. The shipping was quick and arrived sooner then I expected.

Elliot H Verified Purchase
May 16, 2014

Both of our dogs are on Cosequin DS. Prior to taking this supplement I was giving them another brand of joint supplement and I wasn't seeing the improvements that I was expecting to see. Our older dog could not keep up on our daily walks. Four months on Cosequin and our older dog is now jogging on our walks and now keeping up.Our other dog doesn't have any real problems but we are being proactive. We choose to stay with Cosequin because it is helping!

Patrick E Verified Purchase
May 16, 2014

I don't have to disguise Cosequin as a treat. My dog actually likes it and it has made a difference in her life. She has been on Cosequin for close to 2 months and there's a difference in the way she moves. We will continue to order through your site because we are so impressed with the service you have provided.

Eli D Verified Purchase

About 4 years ago my vet told me about Cosequin DS, I've not looked back since, Within a few weeks of starting my baby on Cosequin I noticed that he was not as stiff and wasn't in as much pain as before.He became more active and energetic. Now I'm never out of Cosequin DS. I have my baby back and she loves it.

Simon J Verified Purchase

Our dog was starting limping, and at first we thought maybe he had hurt it or something, but when the limping didn't stop even after we took him to the vet and discovered that he had severe hip dysplasia. We had the option of doing hip replacement surgery, but for now we've opted for Cosequin DS...We see where it has really made a difference in Tassle's life...his limp isn't gone but he is more active than ever. Sometimes I feel like he is even more active than our other dogs. I credit Cosequin for this major improvement.

Stephanie J Verified Purchase
