I just started my 9 year old standard poodle on Cosequin DS yesterday. I am wondering if any one has experience with the product and if they switched to the Plus MSM version and why

A minute ago I wrote the positive review about using this with my 13 year old poodle. I mentioned that it is easy for him to chew. He is missing some teeth. I just realized that I use the "soft chew" form, not what is labeled only "chewable" here, so I can't attest to its chew-ability, though it might be easy enough.

I have spoken to 3 veterinarians. All recommend MSM as the most important ingredient for joint health. So, I uses the Cosequin DS with MSM.

We use this on our 70 lb Boxer mix. She does fairly well with it and has to take the max dosage allowed. Her arthritis is pretty bad so when my hubby remembers to give it to her on a daily basis she moves around more easily. However; when he skips days I can tell by looking at help get up and walk around. She needs the stronger dosage and she is about 6 - 7 years old. She was adopted so I am not sure of her exact age. In GREAT health otherwise.

My 13 year old 22 pound, who is a tall but correct weight, miniature poodle, came to me as a two year old with noticeable hip pain and limp. X-rays showed the problem. He has been taking a combo glucosamine/chondroiten supplement since then, and rarely shows any hip problem. About two years ago I switched to the Cosequin DS plus MSM at the vet's recommendation. He seems to be doing even better, though two years older. He loves the taste, and the texture is easy for him to chew.

Read my review on PetZoom Park Deluxe. My dog is old and I was able to retrain him. Took three weeks. Just have to be more stubborn than doggie, but you I think you will find my review helpful. AND, I added more suggestions.

Not sure mine never worked so I returned it right away. I ended up going to pet smart and investing in an expensive (160.00) one. It was worth it. I know there are some really pricey ones out there but you have to find what fits your needs. They are great training tools. Try contacting the seller and see if they are willing to trade for an upgrade. Most of the reviews were not positive. They may be wiling to work with you since you are not alone. I hope this helps.

First, check the dosage and make sure it is correct for his weight. I'm giving Dasuquin to my 'almost' 12 year old Irish Setter. She started with 2 per day (1 in the a.m. & 1 in the p.m.) and is down to just 1 in the a.m. She has always had a sensitive stomach and takes Acidophilus (not a Rx) along with the Dasuquin. I also give all my Irish yogurt every a.m. It's possible the lactobacilius acidophilus would be helpful. This product has not seemed to bother my older girl.

All I know is that when my Yorkie kept growing to 20 lbs I wanted to know if the "puppy mill" his former owner purchased him from was on the up & up. The results were hard to believe but the test seemed legitimate to me. They took a while to get back but they talk to you personally so you can address any questions to them directly.

Hi J: With my 150lb Great Dane I had to discard the 2nd buckle and secure the device with a zip tie... which was inserted through two (4 total) incisions at the fold over. The collar is great! Very blinky. And you can spot it from blocks (or meters) away. I bought 2 more because I'm a special needs adult who lives in proximity to a battery store where they lock the doors after hours. In no way am I actually 'special needs' apart from being unmotivated to change the battery.I ordered this collar again and will continue doing this until I successfully make a transaction at the battery store.

My vet was pushing glucosmaine for my 8 year old Golden Retreiver. I laughed and said it didn't work for me. He responded that the MSM made all the difference in the world. One of the vet techs swore by it. I broke down and bought this online. My now 10 year old Golden gets up and down quicker than 2 years ago. I have started taking a similar suppliment and my knees are like they were 20 years ago. No clicks, pops or stiffness. This is an expensive product but you shouls see changes in 6 to eight weeks. If it doesn't work, you at least tried to help your dog. It should help anywhere there is cartilage. My vet was pushing glucosmaine for my 8 year old Golden Retreiver.

It works well on a poodle with thick coat. But do order the coarse blade. It comes only with the regular adjustable blade. I ordered 3 extra adjustable coarse blades at the same time. You might become able to get them sharpened but I got a good cost on new blades. You will get many cuts though without changing blades. If the dog is large maybe 8-10 cuts per blade.

I called pedigree and talked to them and they said, they stopped making them , because not enough got sold. That's why they discontinued them. It helped out my dog a lot and now I have to hunt down something else. This is how it always works, the good stuff gets discontinued and the not so good stuff sticks around forever.

It works fine. You will be using the same setting on the dial for both collars, so keep that in mind if you are using it on two dogs of very different size, i.e., a 20 lb dog and a 75 lb dog (I use as a remote trainer as with SitMeansSit dog training program on 2 very diff size dogs); or two dogs with very diff coats, i.e., a single coat, short hair versus a double coat or long, dense hair, that type of coat may require shaving where the collar goes to keep them on the same Stim level. The Stim used here feels very different than the Static correction like you would get with an underground or wireless fence. The Stim on this system is exactly like what you feel if you have ever had stim pads placed on you for physical therapy or chiropractic treatment. So while I can safely and effectively get both dogs attentions at a level 3 Stim if say a loose dog were in on our property, I would not want to go higher on my smaller dog, but could adjust the dial for the larger dog, you just need to dial it up or down and hit the appropriate button, then put it back where you can use it on both comfortably. It sounds like more to deal with than it actually is, it's late and I'm answering on a phone keyboard :) I rarely use anything beyond the basic Vibrate to get their attention, but I've never had to go beyond 3 for my Rat Terrier or my Scott American Bulldog.

Mam, We got rid of our dogs food and everything. We ended up having to put him down, a very hard decision. I will say the time he was on the Neutricks it did really seem to help him a lot, in NO way am I am I implying anything negative toward the product. Wish I had known about it years ago for our ageing shih Tzu. Your can find the product on the net. I do know some of the ingredients in Neutricks were mentioned by our vet. Give it a try, you'll see the difference for yourself.

I started my dog on the Dasuquin with MSM per the vet's recommendation because he is a senior dog and possibly had a torn ACL. He did really well on it. I accidentally ordered it without MSM, and he seems to have gone downhill. It may just be an age thing, because I went through the first bottle and then made the same mistake AGAIN. He is only partially through the second bottle without MSM, but I feel it makes such a difference for him that I am going to order a new bottle WITH MSM to get him back started on that (despite the fact I am on a limited income and trying to pay for a wedding this year).

I have no issues with the poodle this was bought for so I assume it will be just fine for yours.
