Cosequin® Single Strength (SS) Capsules
Cosequin® is a patented scientifically researched nutritional supplement dispensed by thousands of veterinarians to help dogs maintain healthy joints. As dogs age it is common for their joints to become less flexible which impacts their mobility and quality of life. You may have noticed that your dog has difficulty walking up stairs or jumping on the bed. While he used to be eager to play now he is content to rest. Even at younger ages some dogs are subject to joint health concerns which affect flexibility and mobility
What is Cosequin® for Dogs?
Cosequin® plays an important role in maintaining optimal joint function. Healthy articular (joint) cartilage is crucial to joint utility. Cosequin® helps support cartilage production and protect existing cartilage from breakdown. Cosequin® is the only glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement that has been shown safe, effective, and bioavailable in peer-reviewed, published, controlled, U.S. veterinary studies. Cosequin® is manufactured following standards similar to those practiced by the pharmaceutical industry.
Cosequin® is available in Double Strength (DS) capsules and tasty chewable tablets and in Single Strength (SS) capsules and soft chews for dogs.
