Cosequin® DS for Dogs
Cosequin® DS is the original researched brand scientifically formulated to support and help maintain the health of pets’ joints and connective tissue. It is also the number-one veterinarian recommended joint health supplement brand▼.
Cosequin is the only glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement that has been shown safe, effective, and bioavailable in peer-reviewed, published, controlled, U.S. veterinary studies, and is manufactured following standards similar to those practiced by the pharmaceutical industry. It is very important to note that the published studies on Cosequin do not apply to other brands.
