I've read the ingredients and don't know enough about them to tell the difference between the cosequin ds +msm and the dasuquin. Can you help me?

My vet recommended the Dasuqin with MSM. He felt the results were better with this than he had seen with the Cosequin. Our 11 yr old Sheltie with a partially torn ACL and resulting arthritis has done well on the Dasuquin. I found Amazon to have the best price on it.

Our Vet put our dog on Mutramax Dasuquin as he said it was one of the best brands. I found a better price on Amazon and that's about all I can tell you. Our dog is doing well on it.

I could not figure that one out either. I was wondering if it was just a marketing tactic.

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).

It says it has 33 mg elemental magnesium per 1 ml on the regular bottle and it says it has 20 mg elemental magnesium with 70 mg MSM per 1 ml on the ultra bottle. I can't tell any difference in the way it feels or absorbs.

You should double check the description of ingredients, but I believe it is both cosequin and glucosemine.

Please clarify your answer. It's confusing. Did you mean "Cosequin" is for joint inflammation and pain?

Never tried Cosequin as we went right to Dasuquin because of My Shepard severe hip displacement. It has kept her off RIMADYL which is good after reading some of the reviews on it.

I think they taste the same. Checking the calories content sometimes helps, because the `diet version' of Swiss Miss isn't great.Always buy the canister for value!

yes if you have large dogs like I do. Dasuguin and Cosequin DS are made by NUTRAMAX. Both have same supplements but Dasuquin has a greater amount. Shop around because cost is different or find discounts at different outlets. Shop Amazon or check out all the different places that sell pet supplies. PS my vet said DAUQUIN WAS FORMULATED BEST FOR DOGS. My dogs are 88lbs to 120lbs. I use soft chews.

I had the same question as I wanted to see if it was same dosage as Cosequin DS (which I currently give to my dog). Had to go to product site Nutramax to find it:http://www.nutramaxlabs.com/vet/products/cosequin-hip-and-joint-support.aspxIt's under administration link there -- funny thing is that the glucosamine mg is same as Cosequin DS but they don't list a lower dosage maintenance level like they do on that product.

It is meant for animals. I took a chance being that it was pure MSM. It is different from the product produced for humans. Since buying this I read on Mercola.com that it is manufactured in 2 different ways and one is better than the other. This is a lot cheaper so I imagine it's not the best for human use. (Seems like I always find out things after the fact). However I am still using it - but just wanted to make you aware. There is a definite difference between this product and what I purchased for human use from the health food store.

After reading all of these posts about the fake ingredients I ordered from the company website, paying more. I now have the box with the ingredients and they are just the same as this product. So next time I will order from here. I have the Grandelash MD from their website. Go and compare.

I have bought both the cosequin ds and the cosequin maximum. I believe they each had 500 mg glucosamine and 400 mg of chondroiton. In fact, on the newer bottles it says cosequin ds maximum strength. The regular cosequin has only 250 mg of glucosamine and 200 chondroiton. Both the ds and maximum worked good for my dogs, and I got the chewable tablets. They eat them right out of my hand. But check the ingredients before you order, it should be 500 glucosamine, 400 chondroiton

I think that the difference is the texture. The 150 Count Dasuquin is a nickle shaped tablet. My dog did not have any problem taking them, but a friends dog preferred the soft Chews. The price difference from what I can see is due to count. My dog uses the tablets. Although I introduced hem with a touch of peanut butter because I did not want him to develop an aversion in the beginning, he will now eat them plain.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the Medicine Mama version. Maybe you could email or phone them and see what they say. They know what the ingredients are, or maybe a google search could give you that info.

MSM- Methylsulfonylmethane Added sulfur for joints. Our vet recommended this in addition to the Dasuquin.

not sure what you're asking but yes both cosequin and this has glucosamine which helps with joints

DS stands for Double Strength. MSM stands for Methylsulfonylmethane.I am guessing it is some kind of vitamin that is in the chewable tablet. I would ask a Vitamin Shop locally or Google the element name. Hope that helps. Take care.

To be honest, I am not impressed with it. If Dasuquin is working, I would stay with it. I am actually going to try another product called Phycox Max.
