Dasuquin® Chewable Tablets for Small & Medium Dogs, 84 count
Dasuquin® Chewable Tablets are a high-quality joint support supplement designed to protect cartilage and support joint function in dogs of all sizes. These tasty, liver-flavored tablets can be given as a treat or crumbled into food. They are available in two strengths: Small to Medium Dog (under 60 lbs) and Large Dog (60 lbs and over).
Active Ingredients (Small/Medium Tablet): 600 mg Glucosamine Hydrochloride, 250 mg Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate, and 45 mg Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASU) Powder.
To achieve the best results, start your dog on a "loading" dose for the first four to six weeks before moving to a lower maintenance level. Dogs under 10 lbs should receive one-half tablet daily, while dogs 10 to 29 lbs should start with one tablet daily and dogs 30 to 59 lbs should start with two tablets daily; after the initial period, these doses are typically halved.
Dasuquin is a joint health supplement combining glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, and avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), ingredients studied in the context of joint comfort and cartilage health. It's provided as a chewable tablet.
