Nutramax Dasuquin with MSM Chewables, Small/Medium Dog, 84 C

THESE ARE NOT CHEWS! They are extremely hard pills and are not suitable for a smaller dog - the package says "chews"! I can't get my dog to eat them even cut up (loose a lot by cutting them up) - he spits them out even when coated with peanut butter.

I have two senior dogs and I give it to both. They have gone from having trouble standing and walking. After taking these for as month they are RUNNING around the yard, pumping on the couch and going up and down the staairs. I would HIGHLY recommend these for ANY DOG WHO IS HAVING MOBILITY TROUBLE, ot takes about a month before you see results. They are very affordable since after the initial period you only give them half a pill.

Long detailed review because I know how important our pups are to us! Strongly recommend this vitamin!! Background: my dog is 5 was diagnosed with hip dysplasia in February and takes prescribed anti-inflammatories daily. He’s an ACD and enjoyed being active until issues started. Issues: mild stiffness in both hips & his hip will pop occasionally if he twists/turns too quickly. Sleeping a lot and reluctant to go outside and completely uninterested in playing fetch. He normally asks to go outside but stopped completely when issues started, even when taking the anti-inflammatories. Not sure if it was just pain or maybe a little depression but instead of laying/napping on couch with me he would hide and nap in his quiet den spot in bedroom alone. Results only weeks after starting this vitamin: he’s sleeping less and wants to go outside and walk and play fetch again. After one week he started ringing his bells on doorknob to ask to go outside and go for walk. Today, now several weeks on vitamin, he got mad I wasn’t fast enough after the bell ring so he tracked me down and barked at me and pushed me to the door. Last time he was that excited for a walk was almost a year ago. I’ve noticed his movement is much more fluid. I’m still following veterinary directions with frequency/duration of exercise so I can only speak for mild daily activity of 20 minutes walking everyday. I’m also careful with fetch games I make sure he doesn’t have to turn/twist to catch. Side effects: he had gas at first and hates the taste. So I broke it up and mixed it with a little bit of fatty fragrant food like an egg or unsalted salmon. Mayo works too in a pinch I’ll mix his kibble with a little bit and then mix in pill pieces. He doesn’t like peanut butter but I imagine that would be great way for others. This fixed reluctancy to eat & the horrific smelling farts. I made sure I followed directions starting out with smaller dose. He had some runny stools at first but week two they were back to normal. Hope this review helps someone. Wish I would have bought this from the start. It warms my heart to see him happier & enjoying activities again! His general comfort has improved which improved his mood. Pics of him enjoying walks again and clunking out happily on couch after walk & playing fetch. Complete improvement and in less than a month. SO GRATEFUL for this product!

IT SAYS QUITE CLEARLY IN THIS IS FOR LARGE DOGS! BUT! 2 Bottles arrived today for small dogs. Waste of time and money.

Very good product .
