I have three older dogs, two of which are large (70 and 85 lbs). Several years ago, they started exhibiting hip problems (reluctant to use stairs, difficulty getting up onto the couch/bed, etc.) The vet I use SPECIFICALLY recommended Dasuquin soft chews. Both dogs have now been taking it every day with their evening meal. I just toss it in with their food, and they evidently like it, because they eat it. Since they've been on it, their hip problems seem much better.
