Does this medication help in relieving pain?
-
Cosequin Maximum Strength’s active ingredients help to support healthy cartilage and joint mobility through a mild anti-inflammatory response that may help with collagen production, and reducing joint fluid and cartilage-destroying enzymes. This product does not target pain reduction specifically, however, these effects may help to alleviate potential joint discomfort. Please speak to your veterinarian to determine if this product would be a good fit for your dog.

My dog passed away a week after starting these. I know there had to be underlying health problems, but did these speed up the death of my 8 year old dog ??

My 14 lb poodle is currently taking Rimadyl for two weeks. Still limping. Would this be in addition or replacement for that medication? She is 7 years old. Thank you.?
-
Cosequin is a nutritional supplement that helps support joint health. It contains glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. Rimadyl is a prescription medication that contains Carprofen, a non-steroidal pain and inflammation reliever. Because Cosequin is a supplement, and is not a replacement for a prescription medication like Rimadyl. It does not have any known drug interactions, but you should consult with your veterinarian before administering a new supplement.

Are the soft chews really soft? I've purchased other products that have advertised as soft chews but turned out to be hard as a rock and hard for my 20 lb. dog to chew. It says he would take 1/2 daily loading and 1/2 every other day. Is that correct??
-
They do not seem to be rock hard and we have never had any complaints about them being hard for dogs to take. The recommended dose for a 20 pound dog would be 1 chew for the initial 4-6 week period and then 1 chew every other day for maintenance. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Description says, "... ingredients in Cosequin works together to maintain the structure of the cartilage in your dog’s joints while inhibiting the enzymes that break down cartilage." , could this also inhibit the enzymes my dog needs for food digestion??
-
Debbie, Cosequin DS Plus MSM inhibits an enzyme that is not the same as the enzymes for food digestion. The medication will not inhibit the enzymes related to food digestion for your pet. Thank you, VetRxDirect
