Is your cat less eager to jump and play? Does she seem less mobile? Is he not shedding his nails properly? Are his nails becoming thicker making it harder to retract?

If you answer yes to any of the above questions, your cat may have arthritis. Cats do not tolerate pain relievers like aspirin, ibuprofen, and Tylenol. In fact, they can cause serious liver and kidney problems leading to death in cats. Cats do not tolerate non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that dogs can use, so something else was needed.

Now there is a great new joint supplement for cats-Dasuquin. It contains glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, avocado and soybean unsaponifiables (ASU) and decaffeinated tea. The glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate support cartilage production and help block the enzymes in joints that break down cartilage. These ingredients together have been shown in published studies to protect joint cartilage better than either ingredient alone. The ASU lowers the production of several compounds involved in the process of cartilage break down in joints. The highly absorbable tea is rich in antioxidants, which have a positive effect on cartilage as well as on overall body defenses.

Dasuquin for Cats capsules contain a tasty natural chicken and tuna flavored powder. You open the capsule and sprinkle the contents over the food. You can “pill” your cat with the capsule if you prefer. Changes in your cat’s comfort level may occur gradually. Allow time for your cat to respond. It may take 4 to 6 weeks, though some cats may respond sooner. Come in for more information. Try it and see the difference in your best friend. A Dasuquin formula for dogs is also available.
