Dasuquin Soft Chews go above and beyond traditional glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate products on the market because Dasuquin contains NMX 1000 avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), formulated with glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate. This sets Dasuquin apart from any other joint health supplement for dogs and cats. And all in a tasty, chewable tablet that can be given as a treat or crumbled and mixed with food. Clinical trials suggest that Dasuquin may help to alleviate the pain and stiffness of knee and hip osteoarthritis and reduce the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). ASU Avocado/soybean concentrate has been shown to improve joint function and comfort levels. ASU complements the positive effects of other active ingredients in Dasuquin by lowering the production of several compounds that cause cartilage breakdown in joints. Dasuquin is also available in a formula with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). Your veterinarian can advise you on which formula is best for your dog.
