Whats the difference between PhyCox and Actistatin? My 100 lb. pup ruptured both his ACL's in the past year, he has been on Actitstatin the last 6 months or so and it does help him but I see PhyCox offers the same results at a more affordable price....

While they seem very similar, I would ask your vet what would be best for your dog. Side note: most vet offices will price match a number of different products.

Hi Dana! I went to DONA's website but didn't see milligrams, just salt (3%). I think the difference is that one comes in blister packs and the other loose in a bottle. I don't think there is a difference in dosage. I use Prime to get free shipping. I also check Walgreens as they sometimes have a better sale, but not often. I've been using this for 2 years and rarely have a problem with knees or hands. Anne

One of my dogs has arthritis and seems to manage this bed, though carefully, and as long as he goes from a long side. The protruding legs tripped him up when we first got one. That may also be a factor of age. He is 75# and 14+ years old. He does take an anti-inflammatory for his arthritis.

I actually buy (or have bought) this product for senior dogs with joint issues/pain...and it really makes a difference. I may start taking it myself soon... I am in my 50's and am having joint pain (esp.knees and ankles). Read the bottle info or go to product website to see if there are any "age" restrictions or drug/food interactions to be aware of.

Hi Phyllis -- I cannot tell you what is the difference or what is the same BUT I can tell you that I have used it for years and my family and friends have used it... I also use it for my dogs and all of us are very happy plus pain is gone or decreased. My dog could not walk at all with her hind legs and she started using them again and was fine for another 8 - 10 years... Oh Phyllis if you are going to use the Omega BE SURE YOU USE THE OMEGA 3-6-9 .. this is the most complete and one does not work well without the other ... GOOD LUCK - GOD BLESS

There seems to be two different (yet similar) items. 1.) Cosequin Hip and Joint Plus Bonelets - shaped like little dog bone snacks2.) Cosequin Joint Health Supplement - standard chew tabsProbably someone at the product providers confused the images due to similarity in product names.

Hi, a friend had recommended this because my guy (11 years) had started having joint issues. He seems improved. It's got 500 mg Glucosamine Hydrochloride and 500 mg Methylsuffonylmethane (whatever that is!) There's no actual "strength" they just give you a chart with the daily dose depending on the dog's weight.

I have a yellow lab nine years Old and a mini Schnauzer that is ten years old and I have been giving both maintenance Consequin as a precaution. My lab loves to go into the river to retrieve his tennis ball and run back up a 40 foot embankment and I noticed he was developing a slight limp. I started giving him the Consequin DS and so far it has gone away. I started with the maximum and then back to the maintenance level. So far so good. As he gets older I will probably switch back to giving him the maximum. You have a small well bred dog that probably does not need to take Consequin yet, unless you detect a problem. You might consult your vet.

Please note: Other buyers say they switched to Advantix. My vet was out of Frontline and only had Advantix so I bought it. My Bichon Frise was running around the house and crying all day and night after I applied it. Turned out it gave him a chemical burn, and had to be washed off with Dawn. Be careful when trying something new.

I would suggest going to the companies website. This product was recommended to me by my dogs vet/cardiologist after a $600. vet visit for a heart murmur , and we saw excellent results. His fur became very soft, he was very active and it kept his heart murmur in check.

That's how I got on it myself. The Vet put our 30 pound cat on Nutramax Cosequin and he did so good that I ordered the human Glucosamine Plus for me. I have been on it for about three years now and doing better today than I was three years ago. If it is for you dog why not order the Nutramax Cosequin for Dogs here at Amazon. We use to give it to the cat in a spoonful of baby food. he would lick the dish and spoon like it was a treat, kept him going till he died of old age.

There is a Dasuquin for small dogs. I would use that instead of breaking pills to make sure you have the proper dose for your dogs weight.

I have been using this for years - my vet offers it and suggested I get it on Amazon for a cheaper price. Works great - such a difference in my Dalamatian!!! She is like a puppy again, can do stairs well now, jump and run great. Her fear on stairs is only because her depth perception is going a bit. Definitely try it. I don't know why the bottle says that, perhaps it's the state you live in. Apparently in NY you can't get the Heartguard without a prescription so I can't get that one online which is disappointing...have to buy it for a higher price at the vet.

I use the plus msm on my sheepdog and with the cosequin too. I know it helps because I added it to my supplements for arthritis years ago. It helps the joints move a little easier and without as much pain. If your pet has trouble getting up and down, it is definitely worth the extra money. As people and pets age, the msm decreases in the body.

Phycox Max is stronger than regular Phycox... I was particularly interested in the amount of tumeric which is one of the ingredients used for pain/inflamation relief..I take tumeric myself and no longer take acetaminophen or naproxen!
