I give my dog a food that contains glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Do I still need Cosequin?
Yes. None of the foods contain the researched combination of high quality ingredients in Cosequin. The amount of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate in dog food is often minimal. Even if these diets contained high quality glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, a large-breed dog would need to consume more than the daily requirement of food to obtain the amounts of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate found in Cosequin DS. In addition, both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate may degrade when subjected to the heat or extreme pressure in the manufacturing process of commercial dog food.
