Nutramax Dasuquin Joint Soft Chews for Small to Medium Dogs, 84 ct
Dasuquin soft chews are Nutramax's core joint formula for small to medium dogs — glucosamine hydrochloride, sodium chondroitin sulfate, and avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), with Boswellia serrata and green tea extract. This is the version without MSM, which is the right pick if you want the base Dasuquin formula or your dog is already getting MSM elsewhere.
ASU is what separates Dasuquin from a basic glucosamine/chondroitin product. Nutramax uses researched, branded raw materials (FCHG49® glucosamine, TRH122® chondroitin, NMX1000® ASU), and their quality and safety standards are best in class in this category.
Joint supplements work best given consistently and started before a dog is visibly struggling. Allow the full initial period before judging the response.
