How to Maintain Healthy Hips and Joints in Dogs

By Kristy @mileydailyscoop
A few weeks ago we shared our 30 Day Nutramax Cosequin Challenge with our friends at Chewy.com. Today we are going to discuss the three ingredients in Cosequin that help dogs maintain their hips and joints.
Maggie has been taking Cosequin every day and since they are chewable, she just thinks she's getting a treat. Bonus!
Cosequin contains three main ingredients:
Glucosamine: 
  • Each soft chew contains 600mg. 
  • Glucosamine has an anti- inflammatory effect by helping to reduce pain. 
  • Helps to restore joint health naturally by eliminating the need for NSAIDS.
  • Improves lubrication in your dog's joints.

Chondroitin:
  • Each soft chew contains 300mg.
  • Helps keep cartilage healthy and hydrated.
  • Inhibits some of the enzymes in joints that destroy cartilage.

MSM:
  • Each soft chew contains 400mg.
  • A natural sulfur compound that improves joint flexibility and reduces pain and inflammation.

Maggie has been taking supplements with these three ingredients since she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia when she was just a few months old.
This is our first experience with Cosequin and so far we are happy to report Maggie is doing great on them. Her mobility has been steady, she is showing no signs of pain or discomfort so we will continue with Cosequin and give you our final update in a couple weeks.
