phycox usage with rimadyl usage: I'm wondering if it's safe to give my dog both rimadyl and phycox?

Phycox is a joint supplement, rimadyl is a pain medication. The two serve separate but complimentary functions. Rimadyl has actually been discontinued, although the same medication (but not in chewable format) is now available from a different supplier under a different name. As both rimadyl and the replacement med are available by prescription only, you should get the advice of your veterinarian for your animal, but the concurrent use of the two was recommended by my veterinarian for my eight year old dog with arthritis in his hips.

you have to talk with your vet. the ingredients on same for dogs and humans is not identical, the differences may not be beneficial to your dog.

It is difficult for consumers to know isn't it? Without a list of ingredients, everyone is just guessing. Since this product has been safely used for both a food additive and a homeopathic medicinal for years, it does not seem dangerous in any way. Only Dr. Christopher knows for sure and he's not talking.

I'm sorry. That info is not on the bottle. They are from a co. in VT., but if the mfg. is different, it isn't listed. I do know it has help my doggie greatly.

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.

Please check with your vet before giving it. Just because something is safe for human consumption doesn't mean it's safe for your pet.

I used the Dasuquin w/MSN, It did not agree with my dog but there were some other issues I have with him. I am now going to try the Dasuquin without MSN. The Nutramax people told me that some dogs do not do well with the MSN. My dog has a sensitive stomach. I think that could have been some of the problem. He also has had Three ACL surgeries in the last six months. I also believe some of the pain meds I had him on also contributed to his problem.

You definitely MUST check with your vet. Some products for one species are toxic to others. You need to check with a trusted expert.

I have two chihauahua mixes, both males. One of them uses it all the time. The other one, just occasionally.

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.

The label for this product does not appear to be the label from the company that makes this product. I don't know who PSHC is but Phycox Max is made by Dechra. I would be very cautious about buying this product. And Dechra does NOT sell their products to any company other than a licensed veterinarian.

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.

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.

My dog threw up with chewables but had no problems with the regular tablets. I read a lot on line about both. Both work. It seems to be a per dog preference. Noticed more small dogs seemed to have difficulty with the chewable which are large (almost quarter sized) and have a strong odor like valerian root.

My vet recommended the PHYCO-MAX, not just the PHYCO. She is 80lbs and takes two tablets per day. I can't really tell if she is better with the other medicines she takes, but I have always trusted my vet. Sorry that I can't be more help.

Our dog became sick on other supplements, but not Dasuquin. I would suggest, if you haven't already feed your dog first. Hope your dog does better.
