I give this to my two cats, one is a younger one that I figure it can only help her as she ages, and one is a very big boy that is about 7 1/2 years old. Our large male had been slowing down a bit, so we wanted to see if this could help him get moving a bit more again, and it has definitely helped! He's jumping up on things again, playing with his little sister much more often, and running through the house at 3 AM like he's on a mission! (Although I suppose he IS on a mission; wake us up at least once a night so he can make sure we're still alive. Apparently cats have no sense of how long they actually sleep, so when we sleep for hours at a time, they think we might be dead. Can't remember where I heard that, but it explains SO MUCH!) If you're looking for something to help your kitty with their aging joints, or if you simply want to make sure you give your younger kitty a better shot at active golden years down the road, I would highly recommend you give it a try.

I purchased this for my senior girl and her mobility has really improved. While the packaging said a cat over 10 pounds should start with 2 capsules a day for a month then reduce to 1 capsule, that didn't really suit her tummy, so I dropped it to 1. Within a few days she was happier, more relaxed and playful. Walking and climbing better and even trying out the zoomies a bit. Her fur is not long, but it has always been very thick and I noticed an improvement to the texture. She gets pumpkin in a tablespoon every day, so open a capsule and sprinkle it, and she cleans that spoon completely so I am relieved she doesn't object to the supplement. I love my girl very much, she's smart, affection and a cuddle bug, and I was getting worried about her joint pain in her senior years because taking medicine is that hill she will die on before she takes any, regardless of how tricky you get, so lapping this up with her pumpkin is such a relief. She's back to laying on her back, stretching out her arms and legs wide, so she can get the body/tummy massage she loves without being uncomfortable.

But we bought it for our 18 year old cat and it’s possible his arthritis is too far progressed to see a difference. Wouldn’t buy again

I've been using this product for more than 6 months. I bought this product twice. I open the capsule and dissolve the content in water and then use a syringe to give it to my cats very quickly. It seems to help my senior cats relax and sleep in the morning. Also, I think its helping with mobility and joints as they still can climb stairs. I pair this product with Aktivait from VetPlus and it help my cats cope with againg with less pain and stress. I hope the price doesnt change as it keeps going up.Update after 7 months of use:I am writing an update to help others with aging cats, hopefully someone read this review and find it helpful.This supplement seems to work for my senior cats (18+). I've been using it for more than 6 months now and will order my 3rd bottle. I use it in combination with other medication to help with dementia (Aktivait from VetPlus + Aprylic from VetPlus + Calmex). Both of my senior cats mobility improved from week 1 and they started climbing stairs/ jumping again and sometimes running. Also, it improved their sleeping pattern (even when they skip their Alzaheimer medication). However, it is frustrating that the price on Amazon keeps increasing. I will start looking for alternatives if the price on Amazon keeps going up. Please consider revising your prices.

Our two beloved rescue cats, Mama Kitty and her younger brother, were once shadows of their former selves. As they aged, they began to exhibit the same signs of decline we see in ourselves: joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It was heartbreaking to witness their once-active spirits dwindle.Like many pet owners, we considered the difficult decision of euthanasia. However, we refused to give up on our furry family members. We started exploring medication and supplement options, just as we would for ourselves.After trying various products, we discovered Cosequin. Within a week of starting this supplement, Mama Kitty was back to her old self, running, climbing, and even hunting lizards! Over a year later, both cats continue to thrive, enjoying active and playful lives.We administer Cosequin daily, mixing it into their wet food. We've also incorporated CBD oil specifically formulated for cats to help manage nerve pain.We strongly encourage pet owners to consider these options before making the heartbreaking decision to euthanize their aging pets. With the right care and support, senior cats can live happy, healthy lives for many years to come.Key Benefits of Cosequin:Improved joint health and mobilityReduced pain and inflammationEnhanced quality of lifeExtended lifespanBy starting our pets on Cosequin early, we've been able to prevent many age-related issues and enjoy countless precious moments with our furry companions. Don't let your aging cat's declining health limit their potential. Give them the gift of a longer, happier life with Cosequin.

My elderly cat has been limping and lethargic with arthritis from an injury with her tail several years ago. Within a few days I noticed her moving better. After 3 weeks the progress is amazing! She can jump on furniture again, run up and down stairs and is no longer limping.She is overweight and I give her two tablets a day. At breakfast and supper I mix one in with her wet food and she doesn’t even notice.I know some people say it doesn’t work for their cat but it’s def worth a try.

猫が18歳を超えてから前足が痛そうな歩き方になり、心配していました。行きつけの獣医さんからコセクインを勧められ、最初は国内販売の製品を購入しました。毎日ウエットご飯に混ぜてあげたところ、少しずつ歩き方が良くなって来ました。毎日投与するには、国内品は経済的に厳しかったので、海外品のこちらを使う事にしました。この価格でこの量なら、長く続けることができるので助かります。猫によっては、この製品の匂いが苦手な子もいますので、チュールなどに混ぜるなどの工夫が必要です。

"Urinary crystals?" you ask? Glucosamine helps to replenish glycosaminoglycan, an element in the lining of the cat's stomach. This lining helps prevent urinary crystals, which can be fatal if untreated.One of my cats, 2 years old, twice had blockages from urinary crystals. At the second incident, the veterinarian prescribed 2 pills per day with a meal (the big boy cat is a 17 pounder - I believe under 10 pounds takes just 1 per day). I also feed him wet cat food intended for urinary tract health (), and I add 1/8 cup of water to a 3oz cat of food with the meal that gets the 2 pills of medicine. I add the water to the food because he refuses to drink from a bowl or cat fountain.The 2 prior incidents occurred 3-4 months apart. Fortunately, since starting this new regimen of combined medicine with additional water and special cat food, it has been about 5 months with no scares.The medicine comes in powder form inside of a pill. I prepare and mix the water with the wet cat food, and then pull the plastic pill apart and spread the powdered medicine on top of the well-mixed food (not too wet or the cat doesn't like it). The medicine is flavored and sometimes the cat will eat only the powder as a treat and come back later for the food/water combo. Whether it's the cat food, the extra water, the pills, or a combination - my cat is healthier.This price on Amazon is stellar. I have purchased several bottles and the quality seems consistent from purchase to purchase. 5 stars, highly recommended.EDIT 12/8/13. It has now been over a year since I have been administering the Cosequin in conjunction with a pure wet food diet ph balanced for cats with crystals (aforementioned Purina Pro Plan, and Friskies special diet for urinary health). I also add quite a bit of water. The cat has been crystal-free. I did take him to the vet once for what I thought was a crystal scare, but it turned out to be stress induced inflammation and he was not blocked with crystals. I'm going to keep up with this great product. Give it a shot!EDIT 9/16/2020. I am still giving the cat 1 pill per day (down from 2 at onset). This cat has not had a crystal episode for 8 years! I don’t know if it’s the diet, the pill, or a combination, but I’m not stopping! Very affordable way to help pet quality of life. I recommend this stuff wholeheartedly and stand by my 5 star rating!EDIT July 2024:This cat is still alive at 14 years old and still has not had another bladder incident. In fact, he’s now in better health than his brother from the same litter who we thought was the healthy one. He’s still getting 1 pill per day, and the brother I’m giving 2 every other day to help with his arthritis. The bladder cat is down to 13 pounds and is full of vitality and energy and no signs of arthritis. Maybe these pills have had a double-benefitting effect? I plan to continue giving these pills until they pass away. 5 stars, all the way.I still feed Purina Pro Plan Urinary (chicken) for 1 meal but the other meals are now Weruva flavors that have pumpkin included. They both started having constipation in their old age and the pumpkin seems to assist. Totally unrelated to the pills, but just anecdotal data. He also still refuses to drink water so we continue with mixing in with the urinary food, and putting the pill on top of that meal. They gobble it up.
