| The ability to exercise and play comfortably is an important aspect of your pet's health. However, with time, dogs and cats may develop compromised joint function as a result of vigorous exercise, accidents, obesity, breed tendencies, or just the process of aging. This can be managed and possibly protected against with the use of supplements that support joint function, especially those that protect the cartilage that is so crucial to normal movement. Cosequin® is the number one veterinarian recommended joint health supplement brand. Over time it can have a major positive impact on joint health while avoiding the side effects that can often accompany prescription drugs.
Cosequin is a patented, scientifically researched nutritional supplement containing glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate that help to maintain healthy joints. As animals 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 pet is less eager to jump or run and is now more content to rest. Cosequin plays an important role in maintaining optimal joint function. Healthy articular (joint) cartilage is crucial to maintaining joint movement. Cosequin is the only joint health supplement brand that has been shown to be effective, safe, and bioavailable in published, controlled U.S. studies. Cosequin is manufactured following standards similar to those practiced by the pharmaceutical industry.
Cosequin double strength tasty chewable tablets and unflavored capsules are available for dogs. Cosequin regular strength unflavored capsules are available for cats and small dogs. Cosequin is also provided in powder form for horses. Cosequin for cats contains chicken and tuna flavored capsules which is specially formulated for them.
While physical conditioning of horses can strengthen muscles, bones, and tendons, the tremendous forces exerted on the skeletal joints (fetlock, knee, stifle and hock) during everyday riding, training and competition may cause wear and tear to the joint cartilage, eventually compromising optimal joint function and affecting the mobility and performance of the equine athlete. Joint function and health can be supported in your horse with the administration of Cosequin. Since Cosequin provides nutrients that affect the structure and function of the joint, changes may occur gradually. You should notice changes in 2 to 4 weeks in most candidates. Some horses may take 5 to 6 weeks to exhibit noticeable changes.
