Cosequin DS Plus MSM Chewable Tablets

Chewable joint supplement with 600mg glucosamine HCl, 300mg chondroitin sulfate, and 250mg MSM per tablet. Made by Nutramax.
Cosequin DS Plus MSM is Nutramax's best-known joint chew, and the company markets it as the #1 vet-recommended retail joint brand (based on its own survey). Each chewable tablet delivers 600mg glucosamine HCl, 300mg chondroitin sulfate and 250mg MSM, and the label sets a 4–6 week loading phase followed by a lower maintenance dose. The tablet is liver-flavored, though some dogs still need it hidden in food. Keep expectations modest: controlled trials of glucosamine-chondroitin in dogs show little benefit, so this is a reasonable choice if you want this type of supplement, not a proven treatment.
Pros
- Clear per-tablet amounts: 600mg glucosamine HCl, 300mg chondroitin sulfate, 250mg MSM
- Long-established manufacturer (Nutramax) with a straightforward formula
Cons
- Chewable tablet, not a soft chew — some dogs won't take it without food hiding
- Doesn't include ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables) unlike Dasuquin
