Nutramax Cosequin for Cats Joint Health Supplement, Contains Glucosamine for Cats, Plus Chondroitin, Supports Healthy Joints, for all Breeds and Sizes, Sprinkle Capsules, 55 Count

Absolutely love how simple it is to serve these capsules to my cat. The sprinkle format makes it easy to mix with food without any fuss. I've noticed my cat moving around more comfortably since starting this supplement. The quality seems high, and I feel good about giving her something beneficial for her joint health. Overall, a convenient and effective product for my furry friend's wellbeing.

"Urinary crystals?" you ask? Glucosamine helps to replenish glycosaminoglycan, an element in the lining of the cat's stomach. This lining helps prevent urinary crystals, which can be fatal if untreated. One of my cats, 2 years old, twice had blockages from urinary crystals. At the second incident, the veterinarian prescribed 2 pills per day with a meal (the big boy cat is a 17 pounder - I believe under 10 pounds takes just 1 per day). I also feed him wet cat food intended for urinary tract health ( Pro Plan Canned Cat Food, Adult Extra Care Urinary Tract Chicken Entrée In Gravy, 3-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) ), and I add 1/8 cup of water to a 3oz cat of food with the meal that gets the 2 pills of medicine. I add the water to the food because he refuses to drink from a bowl or cat fountain. The 2 prior incidents occurred 3-4 months apart. Fortunately, since starting this new regimen of combined medicine with additional water and special cat food, it has been about 5 months with no scares. The medicine comes in powder form inside of a pill. I prepare and mix the water with the wet cat food, and then pull the plastic pill apart and spread the powdered medicine on top of the well-mixed food (not too wet or the cat doesn't like it). The medicine is flavored and sometimes the cat will eat only the powder as a treat and come back later for the food/water combo. Whether it's the cat food, the extra water, the pills, or a combination - my cat is healthier. This price on Amazon is stellar. I have purchased several bottles and the quality seems consistent from purchase to purchase. 5 stars, highly recommended. EDIT 12/8/13. It has now been over a year since I have been administering the Cosequin in conjunction with a pure wet food diet ph balanced for cats with crystals (aforementioned Purina Pro Plan, and Friskies special diet for urinary health). I also add quite a bit of water. The cat has been crystal-free. I did take him to the vet once for what I thought was a crystal scare, but it turned out to be stress induced inflammation and he was not blocked with crystals. I'm going to keep up with this great product. Give it a shot! EDIT 9/16/2020. I am still giving the cat 1 pill per day (down from 2 at onset). This cat has not had a crystal episode for 8 years! I don’t know if it’s the diet, the pill, or a combination, but I’m not stopping! Very affordable way to help pet quality of life. I recommend this stuff wholeheartedly and stand by my 5 star rating! EDIT July 2024: This cat is still alive at 14 years old and still has not had another bladder incident. In fact, he’s now in better health than his brother from the same litter who we thought was the healthy one. He’s still getting 1 pill per day, and the brother I’m giving 2 every other day to help with his arthritis. The bladder cat is down to 13 pounds and is full of vitality and energy and no signs of arthritis. Maybe these pills have had a double-benefitting effect? I plan to continue giving these pills until they pass away. 5 stars, all the way. I still feed Purina Pro Plan Urinary (chicken) for 1 meal but the other meals are now Weruva flavors that have pumpkin included. They both started having constipation in their old age and the pumpkin seems to assist. Totally unrelated to the pills, but just anecdotal data. He also still refuses to drink water so we continue with mixing in with the urinary food, and putting the pill on top of that meal. They gobble it up.

My wife and I have an all white with blue eye cat who unfortunately suffers a lot of health issues. However this medication added to non-dairy whipped cream has become an essential part of her daily life. Every morning we give her one pill with the non-dairy whipped cream and she devours it very quickly. After one month of administering this that way we have noticed a significant change in her mood, physical activities, and personality all for the better. We would definitely recommend this for the ease of use for significant pain relief there is absolutely no smell and she truly loves the taste regardless of the non-dairy whipped cream. The ingredients especially the cosequin is very beneficial for her.

Helps cats move more comfortably

My 2 cat’s bones were really creaking when they would stretch or jump. So much so it prompted me to talk to my vet about it. She recommended this and they have now been on it for 2 years and I do not really hear the creaking anymore! So I think it is working! I sprinkle one capsule for each in each of their wet food bowls each day. They eat it with the food no problem!

This was recommended by our veterinarian for our cats (also for dogs). Our two beloved 16 year old kitties have had much less joint stiffness and can now jump readily off the bed, sofa, etc with far less duress and joint stiffness. Our kitties have not once reacted or refused their food with the Cosequin mixed in. **As for usage** you do need to give your loved family pet 2 capsules a day for one month. After one month of 2 capsules, you can transition to 1 capsule per day going forward pretty much indefinitely if you want your family pet to have relief. We put it in their wet food. The Cosequin melds seamlessly into the food. Note: do not add to dry food it needs to be in a moist food.

This product is incredible! I really appreciate how easy it is to serve and administer these capsules to my cat. The ingredients seem high-quality, and I feel confident it's supporting her overall wellness. The capsules are a good size and smooth, making it simple to give her the supplement without any fuss. It's become a reliable part of her care routine.

My cat has no problems eating it with her moist food no matter what flavor the moist food is. She looks forward to having it nightly.

猫が18歳を超えてから前足が痛そうな歩き方になり、心配していました。 行きつけの獣医さんからコセクインを勧められ、最初は国内販売の製品を購入しました。 毎日ウエットご飯に混ぜてあげたところ、少しずつ歩き方が良くなって来ました。 毎日投与するには、国内品は経済的に厳しかったので、海外品のこちらを使う事にしました。 この価格でこの量なら、長く続けることができるので助かります。 猫によっては、この製品の匂いが苦手な子もいますので、チュールなどに混ぜるなどの工夫が必要です。

I tried it it very good

My boy is already on Solensia injections once a month, but he seemed a bit uncertain and cautious, occasionally still pulling fur out where he felt some pain. I've added 1 capsule of Cosequin to his diet daily, and he's definitely improved. He's not pulling fur out anymore, he's moving around more and overall appears to be more comfortable.

I've been using this product for more than 6 months. I bought this product twice. I open the capsule and dissolve the content in water and then use a syringe to give it to my cats very quickly. It seems to help my senior cats relax and sleep in the morning. Also, I think its helping with mobility and joints as they still can climb stairs. I pair this product with Aktivait from VetPlus and it help my cats cope with againg with less pain and stress. I hope the price doesnt change as it keeps going up. Update after 7 months of use: I am writing an update to help others with aging cats, hopefully someone read this review and find it helpful. This supplement seems to work for my senior cats (18+). I've been using it for more than 6 months now and will order my 3rd bottle. I use it in combination with other medication to help with dementia (Aktivait from VetPlus + Aprylic from VetPlus + Calmex). Both of my senior cats mobility improved from week 1 and they started climbing stairs/ jumping again and sometimes running. Also, it improved their sleeping pattern (even when they skip their Alzaheimer medication). However, it is frustrating that the price on Amazon keeps increasing. I will start looking for alternatives if the price on Amazon keeps going up. Please consider revising your prices.
