Titan has been on a joint health supplement for quite some time. Ever since he had his first injury with his leg, the vet asked if he was taking a supplement. Of course, he wasn’t. She suggested Dasuquin for Titan.
The program was quite easy. Two (2) tablets daily for six (6) weeks and then one (1) tablet daily for maintenance. Since Titan will not take the tablet like he does his fish oil pill, I break it in half and put in his food. He’s been doing very well on the Dasuquin however, I’ve always been looking for other alternatives.
PSCPets was kind enough to send us their Joint Supplement to try. The program works the same way. The difference? These are soft chews, which is a major plus. (A++++) Titan ate these right out of my hand, like he does his Heartgard.
The difference between the Dasuquin and PSCPets Joint Supplement is:
- Lesser mg of Glucosamine/Chondroitin
- No Avecado
- Contains Ascorbic Acid, Manganese, and Vitamin E
I only used it a few days and I probably should have delayed our trial because Titan was already acting a tad gimpy with his rear leg, but we tried it.
- One of the first things I noticed right off the bat was Titan would eat it like a treat. He loves the smell and chews it right up.
- The other thing I noticed was it gave him major gas! Oh my, it was harsh!
So Two (2) days ago I put him back on his Dasuquin and the gas is gone. Cool, right? So I’m not sure how well or not the PSCPet Joint Support would work but I decided to opt again the flatulence and go with what has worked. Matter of fact, I just order the Dasuquin in a soft chew in hopes Titan will like it better and take as a treat. 
If you’re looking for a joint supplement, you could try either of the two above or there are also many other options out there. My vet tech suggested liquid glucosamine and said it’s been proven to aid dogs a lot quicker than the tablets. I am still researching this one so if any of you are using a liquid, please let me know what kind.
Oh and thank you to PSCPets for sending me a trial joint supplement.
Note: I did not get paid by PSCPets to write this review nor was it a requirement of my sample of Joint Support.

Hi Rob. We’re not sure what he did this time or last time. Csn only assume he did it running zoomies in the back yard. He never complained, just acted like a gimp leg. Xrays never showed any injury at all. Probably just a strain, we assumed. I watch the joint issues because a fellow pibbles friend had similar and found out too late that it was bone cancer. That scares the heck out of me.
Thanks for sharing Rob! Its always a pleasure
Hi Brenda is he doing ok now? I would be very sad if anything would happen to any of my pups, they’re like family, in fact I like them better them some of my family

Hi Rob. Yes, his gimp has gone away pretty much. It’s a reoccurring thing with him. Either he sleeps on it wrong, lays too long, or overdoes it running. I try to make him do “lighter” activities for it to mend. We go for his annual check up at the end of the month so the vet might want to do xrays just to make sure all is ok in there. Thanks for checking in on us!
Hi Brenda,
MAJOR gas?
lol…
Hope Titan buddy doing good there and you can research better suppliment Brenda

YES Mayura! It was horrible! Chased me out of the room! hehe I’m always researching something with that boy. I want him to live the longest and healthiest life possible.
Annie has been on Glyco-Flex III for a couple of years now & she loves it. We noticed improvement with her after a week or so of taking it. She has the “spring in her step” back. We have never tried any other joint supplements.

I think I remember you telling me about Glyco-Flex before. I looked at it but haven’t jumped on trying it out yet. Might have to look at it again and see if it may benefit Titan more than the Dasuquin. Thanks Heather!
I just made a vet appointment for my older doggie to see what I can do about her limping lately… I think she has arthritis. I wonder if they will suggest one of these.

Awww sorry about your baby Camille. I hope they can find some relief for her. Let me know what they give her. There are a lot of arthritic type meds out there. I’m interested to see what they prescribe.
Hi Bren, Sorry for Titan. This is really helpful to us. Myself will try to use with my pets.
Thanks Ruth! Glad we could help!
My sister just had a big vet appt. as she is dragging one back foot a bit lately. She takes Metacam which has helped wonders. Before Metacam she was on Dasequin which did nothing. After seeing the x-rays and doing lots of tests, they suggested she take the Dasequin and the Metacam. Amazing but the past 2 days she is starting to get her wild pants on again. It is all expensive but mom would do anything to help us out. She won’t eat Dasequin so mom grinds the pills over her food and she eats it that way. She is a Kuvasz and will be 11 in June and is at a great weight, so we are all for Dasequin.

Never heard of Metacam. Wonder what it did that the Dasuquin doesn’t?
Dasuquin is certainly one of the top joint supplements to consider.
