Cosequin DS for Dogs

Cosequin DS is a food supplement that improves the condition of the cartilage and promotes flexibility of joints in dogs and cats.

Healthy cartilage and flexible joints

For the mobility of dogs and cats, it is essential that the joints function properly. This allows them to comfortably walk, run, jump, sit, and stand throughout the day. Smoothly moving joints are particularly important for older dogs and cats, as well as working dogs. A joint is where two bones connect. For these bones to be able to move smoothly, there is a layer of cartilage between them. When there is any strain on the joint, such as when the dog or cat walks, cartilage acts as a suspension between the two bones. This suspension absorbs shock. Cosequin DS contributes to healthy cartilage and flexible joints.

Cosequin DS

Cosequin DS for dogs and cats is a food supplement that promotes flexibility of joints. The main components in Cosequin DS are specific forms of glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl), and chondroitin sulphate, namely FCHG49 glucosamine HCl 99% (500 mg per capsule/tablet) and LMW TRH122 chondroitin sulphate 95% (400 mg per capsule/tablet).
