"My 14 year old kitty has arthritis, and she receives monthly Solensia. But sometimes between the shots, she seems a bit stiff. my cat was walking hunched.i have noticed a huge difference after adding Dasuquin. She’s a bit more agile inbetween Solensia. I recommend this a lot!"

"I originally tried the capsules, which I've had more success with but it's not perfect. My vet recommends this product and I will continue to use it in the foods he'll take it in, but we're switching to another supplement going forward."

Bottom Line

Dasuquin deserves a shot, but mindful mixing may be required.
