Frequently asked questions
What does "multifunctional support" mean in this Cosequin supplement?
Beyond the core glucosamine-chondroitin joint formula, each chew adds MSM, omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat support, and a postbiotic blend with beta-glucan for overall wellness.
Can puppies take Cosequin Multifunctional soft chews?
The formula is designed for dogs of all life stages and can be introduced when dogs are young and continued through their senior years; ask your veterinarian about the right starting age.
How many chews should I give my dog?
One chew daily per 30 lb of body weight is the general rule — for example, a 45 lb dog receives 2 chews daily.
What is the difference between Cosequin and Dasuquin?
Both are Nutramax brands. Cosequin is built on glucosamine and chondroitin, while Dasuquin adds ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables) for broader joint support many veterinarians recommend as a step up.
