bvroman Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Our 9 year old greyhound has stiffness when squatting to poop. She is mildly active, likes to walk & trot, and does not act like she is in pain - but who knows. I am considering a supplement to keep her joints as limber as possible. Looking at Dasuquin as a possibility. Other than price, is there any downside to Dasuquin in your experience? thanks- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 We've been giving Dasuquin with MSM soft chews to our hounds for a couple of years now. Seems to help and haven't had any negative side affects. We do have to chop up the chews and mix with food or else they won't eat them.

smurfette Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I don't know about Dasuquin but I give hypericum lm 6, 5 drops each day in their drinking water. It helps with the mobility and with the nervous system. And every 4 - 6 weeks we go to physio to help with all those little aches your dogs get with getting older.

Ragsysmum Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 A bioflow magnetic collar might be a big help. Many dogs show a lot of improvement wearing one of these. Quote Sue from England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeh2o Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Dasuquin was mildly helpful, not worth the cost and I don't like how they spend their money. I asked trainers in the racing world and hands down they recommended Next Level Joint Fluid. I tried it and in 2 weeks the change in Doodles was dramatic. She was brighter, moved much easier, more playful and even friends noticed how much better she was feeling and moving. I buy a gallon at a time, it lasts for months. She'll be 13 next month and she's still going strong.

Guest soylette Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 my greyhound is 14. her hip stiffness started at around 12 years old. we have her on glycoflex III chews, canine musculoskelatal support (this one in particular makes a huge noticeable difference), and ligaplex II. you can order these all from amazon. she's also taking chinese herbs and getting acupuncture.

TwiggysMom Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Twiggy has been getting Dasuquin with MSM, Duralactin (which was highly recommended by several of her vets (primary, oncologist, and physical therapy), and Adequan injections (I give them to her myself). All are considered very safe. Quote Wendy with Twiggy, fosterless while Twiggy's fighting the good fight, and Donnie & Aiden the kitties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
