Nutramax Dasuquin MSM Joint Supplement for Large Dogs, Soft Chews, 150ct

we love these so much we have it on subscribe and save. We started using these 20 years ago for our first greyhound. When they retire they need great supplements to keep their joints in shape. We always used to get them from the vet but as soon as I saw I could get them online I haven't looked back. They are less than half the vet cost. They always come fresh and the dogs just think they are a treat. They look forward to eating them . We have used them with every dog since, regardless of breed or age because they really do help keep inflammation down and as the dogs age it promotes energy and pain relief and are truly effective. They don't smell bad at all. Highly recommend.

If you have a big dog, watching them start to stiffen up or hesitate before jumping into the car is heartbreaking. After trying a few different joint supplements, we landed on Dasuquin with MSM, and it has honestly been a game-changer. The Big Win: They Actually Taste Good. Let’s be real—the hardest part of dog supplements is getting them to eat the darn things. Hiding giant pills in cheese or peanut butter gets old fast. Thankfully, these are soft chews, and my dog absolutely loves them. The second I crinkle the bag, she comes running and sits down, drooling. To her, it’s just a really good daily treat, which makes my life so much easier. To start, your dog will take 2 treats daily. Eventually, winding down to one treat. It took about a month of daily use, but the difference is huge. The morning stiffness she used to have is less, and she’s back to initiating playtime and running around the yard like she used to. It’s not the cheapest supplement out there, but seeing my dog move around comfortably and happily makes it worth every penny. If your big dog is starting to slow down, I can't recommend this 150-count bag enough.

Seems to make a huge difference in my 10 year old lab. He eats readily and seems to increase his energy and mobility. He sometimes acts afraid to jump on bed but after starting these for a month or so he returned to jumping on the bed or in back of car with ease. Easy to give. Seem effective and don’t have any funky smell. 5 stars! Price is only bummer but you get what you pay for.

My dog is a service dog. She helps me so much, and it’s important that she stay fit and healthy for many years to come. I heard these joint supplements were top-notch, so I was eager to try them. I can’t comment on their effectiveness in terms of joint health, as my dog was in peak health already before taking these supplements and I have her on them to keep her that way, but my goodness she loves the taste!! I don’t know what kind of drugs they put in these things but wow, my service dog goes crazy for them. A treat that helps my dog’s health AND tastes great to her is worth its weight in gold!

Update, May 9th, 2023: I still think this stuff works great and I love how it's helping our old girl, but how in the world can they justify the cost going up 20 bucks in less than a year?! It was expensive to begin with but $80 now?! So dogs with arthritis that don't have rich families just get to suffer in pain? I'm so disappointed with this price hike. Took a star off for this. I started my 14 year old yellow lab on Dasuquin right from the vets office back in August. Within a month I would see a difference in how she was moving. Before Dasuquin she was struggling to get up and down flights of stairs. She couldn't run. She can no longer jump up and stand on her hind legs. If you walk behind her, you can see how she holds her hips that she's definitely in pain. But since starting her on Dasuquin, WOW. What a difference. She still cannot stand on her hind legs but now she can go up and down stairs again, she *tries* to run, which will actually last about 2 seconds before she realizes she's physically unable to anymore. She will go on a walk or hike now and last about a mile. I know I cannot make her into a puppy again, and I was really resisting trying anything stronger on her in the way of meds. I knew she was struggling but didn't want to drug her up. Dasuquin seems to be the middle ground I was looking for and will continue to give her until the day comes that she absolutely needs something stronger. She's been around a long time and has had a great life with so much love. She was found as a stray with puppies and turned into the local shelter. We strongly suspect she escaped a puppy mill. There are a lot in the area where she was found. When we went up to the shelter to look at dogs, all the puppies had already been adopted out. She was alone in a kennel, looking pretty sad. As soon as my ex husband's eyes and hers met, I knew it was all over. It was love at first sight. I knew she would be coming to live with us. And she's been with us for the past 12 years, watching our children grow, protecting them and her yard, being such a great dog. Unfortunately my ex is in a place now where he's not allowed to have a dog so I've taken her until he can take her back. She's ok, she's still with her pack, she lived with me for years and most of the kids are still home. She lives with our other dog Paz and they have a very good life hanging out together. We will certainly miss her lots when it's time for her to leave us and I think we are all preparing ourselves mentally for that day but while she's still here I'm going to make sure I can do what I can to keep her as comfortable and pain free as possible. She's still a very happy dog so Dasuquin must be doing something right! I highly recommend. It's expensive but worth it. Update, about a year later: Silly me I thought we would try to go with a less expensive brand that seemed to have the same active ingredients. My dog paid the price. She was obviously in pain again. Gave up and got another bag of dasaquin and she's right back to feeling good again. I'm sorry, Molly, I won't switch your arthritis relief again. But it certainly confirms that dasaquin does the job!

We put our 11-year-old dog on Dasuquin with MSM about six months ago after she started limping a lot from jumping off the bed. This isn’t snake oil for us — we saw a clear change within about a week, and she’s back to hopping around like a puppy. Smell and taste aren’t consistent between bags. One batch smelled like soy sauce; this one smells more like raw meat. The pills are a bit hard, but she’ll take them if I follow with a treat she likes. We’ll keep her on this for as long as she’s with us.

I swear my dog is a new dog after this! Before taking Dasuquin, our dog wouldn't even go for a walk. He would limp out of bed, fo his business and come right back in. Once we started him we saw major improvements after the first 2 weeks! Now he's been on it for over a year, runs, jumps, plays, and doesn't show any pain or discomfort. He has it every morning as his "treat" and eats it with no problem!

Our poor dog is getting old, so she groans when she lies down. With Dasuquin, the groans almost stopped, and when we ran out and tried Wuffes instead, the groans came back. While she was racing around on Dasuqin, the Wuffes don't seem to work as well. For some kinds of age-related aches, Dasuqin seems to do a better job at relieving pain and improving mobility. The dog loves the taste (to be honest, she loves Wuffes, too), and it's so much easier just to give her a yummy, chewable than trying to wrestle her, prise her jaws open, and jam a pill way down in her throat so she can't spit it out (she's SOOOO good at that). And, hey, the Dasuqin is cheaper--though when it comes to our dog, price isn't our first concern.

This product took far too long to arrive but - they most certainly do help a dogs mobility. In all honesty, I would suggest you look for an alternative provider if you need the goods more quickly.

Finally a good quality supplement in chewy treat form, brilliant! No more mixing yucky powder in food. My dog loves these and they are so convenient. Brought them in to my vet to have him check them out and he says these are VERY high quality good supplements. So check! It took a couple weeks for gradual change to start and then bam it was like one day his terrible stiffness was gone. He loves them too!! Stick with this one, I've tried so many and this one really lives up to its promises.

Smelt different and my dog who has previously happily eaten them now point blank refuses to eat them.

This stuff works miracles. My dog couldn't walk on her hind legs she had blown both her knees. I was told my dog needed surgery on both knees the cost of which was $10,000. I couldn't afford the surgeries. So I found Dasuquin online merely hoping to ease some of my dog's pain until the time came when I would have to put her down. After about 3 weeks of giving her 2 Dasuquin every day. I noticed a change in her. She wasn't 100% but she was actually moving around on her own. And about 3 months after that I had my dog back and dare I say even more active!! I only give her 1 Dasuquin in the morning now every day and she loves them. Worth every penny!!

If your pet has arthritis, etc., no amount of supplements is going to stop it. I gave YuMOVE to the older brother and, at the same time, to his sister from when she was a pup. It didn’t help the brother, and it certainly didn’t stop the sister from developing arthritis as she got older. Save your money. Supplements may have their place, but they’re certainly not a cure or a guarantee that your dog won’t develop arthritis.
