Review: Worked miracles on our German Shepherd - I love this product!! Here is why: I got my first German Shepherd puppy about a 1-1/2 years ago, and didn't realize the importance of checking into the soundness of her parents' hips and joints. Before she was even one year old, she had back-to-back incidents where she hurt herself playing with our other dog, and exhibited lameness in her back leg. She was in so much pain I had to help her up the outside steps, getting behind her with hands under her belly to hold her back legs up so she could climb up with her front legs. When it happened the 2nd time, we took her to the local vet, who felt her back joints, and said they felt "mushy", like they were not solid at all. She said we'd gotten a "lemon". She recommended we take our GS to a Vet who specializes in orthopedic surgery to check her out. The ortho vet took X-rays and did numerous other tests, and told us our GS had two bad back ACLs, as well as hip dysplasia. He recommended she get both knees operated on, one after the other. She would have to be on restricted activity during the lengthy recovery time of 3-6 months per knee. In addition, each operation would cost a couple thousand dollars! We were upset to think of our energetic, fun loving young dog getting laid-up for so long. We knew she'd hate it. And I was shocked at the estimated cost; it might not have seemed like much to the Vet, but it was a lot of money to me. I could come up with the money if I had to. But it would mean taking money from something else (like work on our house that needed to be done, such as buying a new furnace). And on top of that, I was concerned about whether this was really the right thing to do, especially since it had been a few weeks since she'd exhibited lameness. So I needed to think about it. In talking about the situation with a friend, he told me about Cosequin DS, and I looked it up immediately, I was impressed by the positive reviews, and ordered some immediately. We started our GS on the "initial dosage" right away. So what happened? Our GS has been injury-free ever since she's been on Cosequin (several months now). She runs and plays with our other dog, dashing and darting around our yard like any normal, healthy young dog. She is happy, active and enjoying her life. She does not exhibit any symptoms of being in distress, even thought the ortho Vet said she would be in constant pain without the operations. Will she someday need to have the knee operations? I don't know. I do believe that the vet saw knee and hip problems. But my gut tells me, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", at least not as long as her quality of life is so good. So yes, I LOVE this product, and highly recommend it to others. I don't know if your results will be as good as ours, but I hope so, and it is certainly worth a try!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It would really help if we could see the ingrediants, my dog needs more than the usual 450 mg, so seeing the ingrediants would really help.**
A: We buy the PLUS MSM of 132 or more of the chewable tabs.  I feed two twice a day to my dog, along with two 1000 Mgs. of Omega fish oil.  The ingredients on these are:  600 Mg. Glucosamine Hydrochloride; 300 Mg. Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate; 250 Mg. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM and 5 mg. Manganese.  The ingredients are always on the back of the bottles.

**Q: How big are the tablets? Size of dime, bigger or smaller? Are they scored to give one half and one fourth?**
A: Someone kindly explain to me how these answers can be so far apart in description. Is everyone talking about the same product here? Because there are those who say size of a dime, smaller than a dime, size of a nickel. Then we have no, cannot be broken and are not scored, and yes they are scored and can easily be broken. I am very confused and cannot figure out if these are a great idea to order, based on my pet's needs. Thanks in advance!!

**Q: What are the ingredients**
A: Cosequin DSIngredients: glucosamine hydrochloride (derived from shellfish), sodium chondroitin sulfate (derived from bovine cartilage), microcrystalline cellulose, artificial roast beef flavor, manganese ascorbate, natural and artificial cheese flavor, mixed glycosaminoglycans, dried brewers yeast, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and natural garlic flavor.Gauranteed Analysis:  glucosamine hydrochloride 500mg, sodium chondroitin sulfate 400mg, manganese 5mg.Check out Nutramax website to get more info and compare products.  http://www.nutramaxlabs.com/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great joint support for larger dogs
*by J***E on October 30, 2013*

We have a 110 pound Great Pyrenees that we got from a rescue about 4 years ago. When we got her we knew that she had a hip problem and after seeing our veterinarian we started her on Cosequin DS. After about a month, we started to notice an improvement in her mobility and activity level. She has been on the Cosequin ever since except for the time she got really sick from eating something she shouldn’t (as dogs do sometimes). She was off of the Cosequin for about six week and there was a noticeable difference. About a month after she started taking it again she was back to her more active self. For us, the Cosequin DS does help our dog . Other than the transition period when she first started taking it we really did not observe any ill affects over the past four years. I do have the following observations that may be helpful to people starting their dog on Cosequin DS. The manufacturer’s recommended dosing for our dog based on size is 4 pills a day initially and two pills a day after the first six weeks. We found that if we gave her 2 pills the first part of the day and 2 pills the second part of the day (4 per day total) it gave her diarrhea because she was not accustomed to the pills. It is a lot like changing your dog’s food abruptly. We found that if we increase the initial dose gradually over a couple of weeks she had no tummy trouble at all. Basically, we would give her ½ pill twice a day for about three days and then increase that by ½ pill every 2-3 days until she reached the recommended dose of 4 pills per day. To be honest I really figured this out because I use the people version of this product, Cosamin DS and if I started the initial dose of 3 pills a day all at once without doing it gradually like described above I had similar tummy trouble. From the dog’s perspective – I know that these pills are supposed to be flavored but our dog will not run anybody down to eat them. We give her the pills with her morning and evening dry food meals and most days she eats the pills with her food. About one day a month, she may leave one in her bowl so I am thinking the flavor is ok but not great. If it ever got to the point that she would not eat them, I am sure a little peanut butter or cheese would change her opinion. Every dog is different so your dog may have a different opinion on flavor.
