Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does Dasuquin differ from other glucosamine supplements for cats?
Ans: Dasuquin contains proprietary ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables) that provides synergistic benefits beyond standard glucosamine-chondroitin combinations. Research shows this combination works better than glucosamine and chondroitin alone at protecting cartilage and reducing inflammation in joint tissues.
Q2: When should I start giving my cat Dasuquin joint supplements?
Ans: Start Dasuquin early before joint damage occurs, especially after joint surgery, arthritis diagnosis, or in high-risk cats (obese, athletic, breeds prone to joint issues). Early intervention with joint supplements is more effective than waiting until significant joint damage has developed.
Q3: Can Dasuquin be used safely with other medications my cat is taking?
Ans: Dasuquin is generally safe to use with other medications, but inform your veterinarian of all supplements and drugs your cat receives. The supplement may enhance the effects of anti-inflammatory medications, potentially allowing dose reductions under veterinary guidance.
Q4: How long does it take to see improvement in my cat's mobility with Dasuquin?
Ans: Most cats show initial improvement within 4-6 weeks of starting the loading dose protocol. However, maximum benefits may take 2-3 months of consistent use. Continue the maintenance dose long-term for sustained joint health support and continued mobility improvement.
Q5: What makes Dasuquin's ingredients superior to generic joint supplements?
Ans: Dasuquin uses patented, researched specifications: FCHG49 glucosamine, TRH122 low molecular weight chondroitin, and NMX1000 ASU. Studies show 84% of generic supplements don't contain labeled amounts, while Dasuquin undergoes rigorous quality control ensuring consistent, therapeutic levels of active ingredients.
