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. |
