Dasuquin is a new breed of joint health supplement in a tasty chewable tablet for dogs that goes beyond standard glucosamine supplements. It contains avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, or ASU, fortified with green tea, combined with glucosamine hydrochloride and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate. It is the most complete joint support supplement available.
Contraindications
While sensitivity to avocados has been reported in a few dogs, taking Dasuquin tablets is not the same as eating whole avocados. The ASU in Dasuquin has been evaluated in a safety study in dogs, and no adverse effects were noted from administration. There are no known contraindications or known interactions between Dasuquin and any drug or nutritional supplement.
Side effects
Observe your dog closely, and notice whether your dog seems more comfortable doing those activities he/she seemed reluctant doing or had some trouble doing previously. Changes in your dog's comfort level may occur gradually. Allow time for your dog to respond. It may take 4-6 weeks, though some dogs may respond sooner.
Dosage and Administration
The Dasuquin chewable tablets can be given as a treat or crumbled and mixed with food according to these directions. For the initial 4 to 6 week administration period for dogs weighing 60 to 120 lbs give 2 chewable tablets daily. The suggested maintenance level for dogs 60 to 120 lbs is 1 chewable tablet daily.
