Nutramax Cosequin Hip & Joint with Glucosamine, Chondroitin & Omega-3s Soft Chew Joint Supplement for Cats, 60 count

I am awful about taking the time to leave reviews, but I need to write one for this product. Our 17 year old cat Yoshi has been suffering from severe hip arthritis over the past few years. We had gone through some of the usual powder mixes like Dasuquin, but he always ended up avoiding his food for as long as possible when we'd use it and the capsules were just too big to pill. We eventually stumbled upon these treats that have the added bonus of omega-3s (something we felt could also help with his early heart disease). Yoshi has now been getting two treats every morning since early spring 2021 and there has been a remarked improvement in his mobility and jumping. While he still has arthritis, he is clearly in less pain and can move around more freely. He also just physically looks like he has more support in his back hips now. He just had another echo and his heart disease has stayed in the same early stage. I cannot speak to whether the Cosequin treats have helped with that, but I'm so happy we can at least do something to improve his heart health. I will add we're very fortunate that Yoshi is incredibly food motivated. He wakes us up every morning to get his Cosequin treats and happily gobbles them down. We break them in half just to make them a little easier to eat as they are very sticky. YMMV with your cat of course as you can read the reviews where some cats refuse to eat these treats since I imagine they taste a little like medicine. Similar to humans, you have to find the treatment that works best for your cat. In our case, these treats have greatly improved Yoshi's quality of life and he loves getting them -- a win-win that is often unheard of when treating medical issues in cats. Thank you to Cosequin for helping our baby feel a lot better!

My maine coon/Norwegian Forest mix, a big guy, has always limped. he's a rescue and vet thinks it was a dislocated shoulder that wasnt treated when he was young. now hes got arthritis is his hip and while still active and as mouthy as any 14 year old i can tell he's in pain when he over does it. This product got good reviews so i bought it. These are round and soft-ish. i recommend breaking things like these into smaller pieces so they actually chew it, and also you can fake them out and they think theyre getting 3 treats and not 1. My cat immediately ate these, i could hardly get them out of the bag and he was shoving my hand aside. apparently the flavor is Cat Approved. package says it can take 4-6 weeks to work well but can help before this time period. 4 chews daily for over 10 pounds of cat, then 2 per day maintenance. i like that theres a rhyme and reason to these. Very well packaged and explained.

I decided to try some cosequin for my 12-year-old Kitty. He's been moving a little slower lately and I thought this might help. So I got them Wednesday and when I gave him one he went crazy for it so I gave him his dosage. But he just kept meowing and meowing for it so I put it away. Then I gave it to him the next day and again he loves it. The third day he still loves it but instead of putting it away I just sealed up the package and left it out on the coffee table while I ran to the store. When I got home he had pulled it off the coffee table it was on the floor and he had ripped and bitten a hole in the side and eaten almost all of them! There were about eight left. Crazy animal! So I'm getting more but this time when they get here I'm going to store them in something he can't tear a hole through
