Cosequin DS for Dogs
The recommended initial administration period is four to six weeks; however, some dogs may respond in a shorter period of time. The number of Cosequin Maximum Strength (DS) chewable tablets may then be reduced to the maintenance level. The chewable tablets may be fed directly or crumbled and mixed with food.
