Nutramax Laboratories Dasuquin with MSM Joint Health Supplement for Large Dogs - With Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin, ASU, Boswellia Serrata Extract, and Green Tea Extract, 150 Chewable Tablets

I have a 7½ year old German Shepherd. I started giving her Nutramax twice a day for five weeks. She now gets one a day. I have noticed a difference. Her hips don't seem to be bothering her to the extent they were while out on our walks. She has more energy. Great product.

My dog, Miles, is a 100 lb., 28" at the withers mix of...probably American Bulldog, Pointer and some breed with super-thick, silky fur. When I got him from the shelter at 4 weeks old he weighed 5 lbs and looked exactly like the Am Staff who became his mother. Then he grew, and grew and grew. When he was young I thought he must be part Greyhound, because he was SO FAST, but also part Kangaroo, because he could literally leap from a standing position over and across a 6' wide bed of roses 6' high. His favorite pasttime was going to the park and searching for tennis balls, which I would throw as far as I could and which he would fetch at lightening speed, there and back, and drop at my feet. His vet always advised against allowing him to run and jump, by the way, because it's not good for his joints. RIGHT! Don't allow your extremely athletic dog to do what it was born to do!So, eventually Miles started limping after a particularly active day tearing out the dog door to bark at squirrels in the back yard. I took him to the vet, who wanted to do x-rays and blood tests and "establish a baseline" and "identify what is going on." Yeah, except that I'd done all that with the Am Staff who was Miles' mother, who "might have developed a food allergy" to the tune of $80 per bag of food and hundreds of dollars for meds per month for more than a year (thousands and thousands of dollars in total) only to find out at the end that she had cancer. No, Miles has sore joints.Anyway, within a couple days of starting Miles on Dasuquin with MSM, he stopped limping. No x-rays, no blood work, no "establishing a baseline." He continued tearing across the house, slamming up against the washer and flinging himself out of the dog door in order to bark at squirrels, but in the evenings he didn't limp. He's been taking Dasuquin for a couple years now (at the same time he's recognizing his own limitations, so he doesn't rip and tear out of the house so much), and he rarely limps anymore. But he does get very excited when I go in my back yard, and I've been working on my garden recently so he's been racing around the back yard and limping a little in the evenings. So I increased his dose of Dasuquin to two per day and he's been completely limp-free and happy, racing around the yard like a puppy.My vet would want to take a blood test to make sure Miles' liver is processing the meds and so forth and so on, and take x-rays of his hips and legs to make sure there's no fractures or tears or whatever. And thousands and thousands of dollars later, she'd determine that Miles has large-dog-hip-joint issues and needs to take it easy, which is never going to happen. Or she'd find he has a disease, which would also require him to take it easy, which is never going to happen. Or she'd tell me to rest him, ...which is never going to happen. Miles is a dog's dog -- he's the happiest dog I've ever met -- and he needs to run free and chase wild beasts. Dasuquin with MSM allows him to be his dog-self, pain-free!{I'm not saying that anyone should diagnose their pets or use Dasuquin instead of visiting the vet. I'm just saying that in the case of my dog, he might have some disease or some fracture or some other issue, but when he takes Dasuquin with MSM the problem goes away. When he acts sick, I'll take him to the vet. But for now, we're managing his issues with Dasuquin.)

Highly recommended product. My 11.5 year old Golden Retreiver diagnosed with Arthritis is remarkably better. He was having trouble getting up and would often fall down while on a walk. He would often groan in pain and became disinterested in most things. But now, he is back to his old self (one needs to remember he is still a senior dog). He gets up easily and has started enjoying his walks again. He is galloping after his ball again and it has been a while since I have heard him groan. Took 2-3 weeks for the initial result and we continued to see gradual improvement beyond that. It has now been 4 months and the results are marvelous. My dog weighs a little over 30 kg and we give him 3 tablets daily, one each in the morning, afternoon and night.

I bought this for my my dog when he started showing signs of lameness. He sometimes showed lameness after a long walk and was quite pittiful to watch after lying on a hard surface for a long time. I didn't want him to be on painkillers for the rest of his life so tried him on dasuquin. The effects are incredible. He's been on them for nine months. He ignores his deep padded bed, prefering the doorstep or the wooden floor, 7 occassionally jumps up onto his allocated chair, instead of a careful cllimb up. He has two long walks a day, still choosing to run after going 3 miles. I believe this is down to dasuquin and a good diet of raw meat, bones (including trachea and duck/chicken feet) and a few biscuits. It's so good to see him playfighting and running with my active collie

We bought these for our 10.5 year old Golden Retriever as recommended by our vet. Leo comes from show stock so is very large (over 40kg) and has been struggling to get up stairs recently, so we wanted something to help ease his joints. We started him on the double-dose as recommended on the pack and have now dropped down to one tablet a day. Its not a miracle cure as he's not suddenly back to being a puppy, but he's definitely moving and getting up and down a bit easier.We also bought him an Ellie-Bo Memory Foam Orthopedic Dog Bed in the Lightning Deals which has given him a bit of luxury and he seems much comfier lying on.We'll definitely be buying more of these when this bottle runs out. They're great value compared to anywhere else we've looked, especially with this enormous pack size.
