Nutramax Cosequin for Cats Joint Health Supplement, Contains Glucosamine for Cats, Plus Chondroitin and Omega-3s, Supports Joint and Skin and Coat Health, Soft Chews, 60 Count

Got these for my mom when vet suggested for her overweight, older kitty who had started limping. They did in fact help - kitty stopped limping and is able to jump up on couches and scratching posts again. Kitty eats them with her regular food and seems to enjoy the flavor. Available without a prescription, but always good to check with your vet first! Also, be sure to follow the dosing instructions. Excellent price.

I normally don't write reviews, but less than a month of giving my 5 year old cat this supplement has been a game- changer. I thought him not playing much or seeming more sluggish was just boredom, but I realized that he must have been having joint pain all this time. Once I got him started on this (crumble it into his wet food), he's playing more, having zoomies, and lost his excess weight! I'm so happy; it's like he's back to being a kitten again.

My kitty is 17 years old and was having some hip problems. It was obvious she was having trouble moving around ... certainly not jumping up on things like she did when she was younger. I started giving her two of these every day. This is her third month to be on them. She LOVES them ... She's climbing her cat tree again. She seems to be getting around much better. I'm of the opinion they are a good investment. They seem to give her back some mobility, functionality, quality of life. This brings me comfort.

Our cats seem to like this product. This brand are smaller, softer and more easy to chew. So far so good! No barfing, so far. Will keep you posted too. The price is lower (for now $12.48) than my longtime used previous glucosamine supplement brand. At $16.00+ per bag, the old stuff became just too expensive, even with "subscribe and save" buying option.

Previous questions, answers, and reviews describe contradictory dosage (e.g., start with 4/day then maintain with 2/day) also describe varying dosage depending on cat's weight at outset. My cat will be 15 years old in June and weighs 5.5 pounds. The package that I received contains 60 chews and recommends that a cat under 10 pounds eat 2/day for the first 4 to 6 weeks and then to maintain with 1/day. Okay. I started Hope on the Cosequin "chews" on December 28, 2022. Check. She LOVES them. I should mention that I feed her only a chicken and turkey-based diet (primarily canned Blue Buffalo "Tastefuls" with a dribble of purified water -- her preference to have it runny -- supplemented in a limited fashion with IAMS Indoor Hairball chicken and turkey cat kibble. She eats about one 5.5 oz can of the BB and 3-6 T of the kibble each day. Since 12/28, I've been giving her one Cosequin "chew" as a late morning treat and another in the evening. My girl LOVES these! Weirdly, she will not eat them from my hand, but prefers to have them dropped on the floor so that she can attack and devour them. (It's really entertaining to watch, but she does it so quickly that I haven't been able to catch it on my phone.) I'm not sure if it's the novelty of the fish oil that makes her consider these a kind of dessert, but I have no complaints. According to what I've seen online, she's basically about 76 years old (in human years), so her previous severe stiffness through her backend should have come as no surprise. The average HOUSE cat (at least in the google universe) lives 10-15 years, so Hope is exceeding what was estimated for her by the vet. (The rescue where I got her picked her up as a stray at 5 months and then found her to be pregnant!) Her life expectancy was estimated to be at the short end of that range due to the stress of pregnancy when she herself was supposed to be still growing into cat adulthood. And now, well the stiffness is GONE. Hope is back to walking atop the six-foot privacy fence to spy on the neighborhood and even jumping effortlessly to a narrower three- foot section of fence to come to me when I call her. So, I'm not going to argue with success, but I am going to marvel at the wonder of these.

Cats love the taste and it helps his mobility

My 17-year-old cat was recently diagnosed with arthritis. Our veterinarian recommended trying this supplement for a couple of months before starting pain-management injections, so I purchased it with hope. Unfortunately, my senior cat wouldn’t eat it at all. Since I didn’t want to throw it away, I offered it to my other cats as well, but none of our four cats would eat it. I’m not sure whether the problem was the flavor or the size/texture of the chews, but sadly this product didn’t work for us.

Works AMAZING!! Our 15 year old cat has been a hunter and lively outdoor cat her entire life. As she's gotten up in age we moved her inside (she greatly protested at first). Her mobility had been slipping and we got to a point we figured her time was limited. After having success with a dog and Cosequin we got it to try on her. She now wakes us up in the morning wanting her breakfast, speed walks (mall walks as I call it) and even sits up on her back legs! I was shocked the first time I saw it and made the family come watch cause they didn't believe me! She LOVES the chewing! Its her daily snack and she doesn't let me forget it. Our old girl will stay on this till her last day! So thankful for how her life and mobility has improved!!
