My Dasuquin order arrived within the given timeframes. It is a product I highly recommend for large breed dogs with arthritis. It far surpasses the usual glucosamine supplements. I will continue to order this product as long as my large breed dogs need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product for Older Dogs, June 23, 2009
By

I've been using this product for years based on the recommendation from my vet. My collie/shephard is almost 10 years old and is very slow in getting up in the morning. We break up one pill and put it in her dinner and she seems to do better when she has it then when she doesn't. I'd prefer to give her a preventative supplement than medication.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Miracle For My Newfoundland!, June 18, 2009

This review is from: Nutramax Dasuquin with MSM for Large Dogs - 150 Tablets (Misc.)
Our 9 year old Newfoundland started having difficulty going up and down the stairs and would limp around after getting up from lying down on the floor. We took him to our vet and he prescribed Tramadol for his pain and gave us MSM powder to add to his food once a day. He did have some minimal improvement but it just wasn't what he deserved. I spoke with some friends of ours who have an older Newf also and found out that they had been dealing with the same problems with their dog's mobility. They shared some of this product that they had gotten from their vet with us to try. After only 3 days, our Newf was running around like he did when he was two years old! He no longer grunts or whines when he lays down or stands up and he races up and down the stairs. I have cut back on his Tramadol from 125mg per day to just 50 mg per day and I'm beginning to believe that we can probably stop it all together without any problem. I purchased the product through Amazon because my vet said that he didn't have the product for his patients because it was expensive compared to the MSM powder and that the product essentially did the same thing as MSM powder for a lot less money. I beg to differ, but I have seen such a remarkable difference with my dog's ability to get around that I'll pay the $[...] extra bucks a month! My dog's happiness is worth 1,000 times that!

I have a 14 yr old Yellow Lab named Dexter who is still walking on his own because of this product. Three monhts ago a thoughtful friend shared a partially used bottle with me because her dog passed away. Dexter's hips were not working well for him at all. He was slipping when he got up and walking with a lot of difficulty. Now a full bottle into this product and I can see a big improvement in his mobility. I don't expect it to cure his old age but it sure is helping him to deal with it. I'm impressed with the product's results.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does This Work? Don't Know, September 28, 2008
By

This review is from: Nutramax Dasuquin with MSM for Large Dogs - 150 Tablets (Misc.)
My dog all of a sudden couldn't go up the stairs a while back (she was 4-1/2)and was in pain. After going to the vet and getting x-rays and being told she had arthritis/hip displasia I bought the Dasuquin from the vet even though it was $100, which I thought was outrageous, just so I could get her started on something.
I followed the directions but as usual for people or animals they start you out with too much and she had diarrhea. Instead of starting off with too much and then leveling off I then gave her a little and progressed UP. No more diarrhea but I can't really tell if this works. I had her on aspirin before I got to the vet (I had to wait a day or so) and she was normal by the time we got there and hasn't had a problem since. Is it the Dasuquin? Don't know.
I'm trying to find something similar on the Internet but the ingredient proportions for the people's version don't correspond to the dog version and I don't know if that's important or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pricey but works!, May 22, 2008
By
Andrew (Austin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nutramax Dasuquin with MSM for Large Dogs - 150 Tablets (Misc.)
My dog started limping and I took him to the vet. Vet did xrays and whole 9 yards and basically said give the dog supplements and get him more exercise. I refused to use Dasuquin because of the price and opted for the cheapest thing I found at the pet store. My vet visits with xrays etc.. were really expensive and I thought, supplements are supplements. Two months later the dog limping got worst. I went back to the vet and bought these, replacing the old supplements and what do you know- two weeks later, the dog stopped limping and has been fine since. The price is outrageous, but the dogs (started giving them to the old dog now) seem to like them without the need of masking them in food and they seem to work great. I just wish I had opted for these the first time around- and I wish they were more affordable.
