Did you know that nine out of ten cats over age twelve suffer from joint problems? Cosequin for Cats is a supplement which helps with joint issues. It is generally given to older cats who are displaying signs of arthritis. Though not as common, some cats may display signs of joint problems at an ealier age and Cosequin can help then as well. In rare cases, it may be recommended to help with bladder issues as well, but this is not proven.
I contains similar ingredients to adult joint supplements, like Glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate. Cosequin contains a special blend which helps promote new cartilage growth as well as slow down the break down of cartilage.
For humans, there are tons of joint supplements available and you have your choice among many brands and specialties. For cats, there are very few and many are expensive. Cosequin is a great option for those of you looking for something non-prescription to help your cat move around.
These capsules are available in both a tune and a chicken flavor. Most people have no trouble getting their cats to eat them right up. No force feeding, or hiding pills in food. These simply break open and pour over the cats food. Many cats prefer the new taste. The powder sticks well to wet food, but if you are feeding your cat dry food, then you will likely want to wet it a bit to help the powder to stick better.
You will want to shop around before buying any supplement like this. Although I do recommend getting a vets approval before giving this to your cats, it is probably best not to purchase it at your vet’s office. It will be very expensive. Good places to look are Amazon, or online pet pharmacies which offer discounts.
