It is common for cats' joints to become less flexible as they age. Unfortunately, this can greatly impacts their mobility and quality of life. Cosequin Sprinkle Capsules for Cats is an exclusive formula that is easy to feed and also effectively supports and maintains the health of your cat's joints.

Cosequin for Cats contains several ingredients that have been shown to be effective in fighting joint pain and immobility. Glucosamine is a natural supplement that is easily absorbed and also helps to maintain the health and resiliency of joints and connective tissues. It can also help prevent cartilage degeneration in cats who are suffering from arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the cushions that surrounds each joint becomes thin and stiff, and Glucosamine may help supply the materials needed to rebuild the cushion. Glycosaminoglycans are the complex proteins that are made from glucosamineand are found in joint cartilage and fluid and connective tissue. Oftentimes, Chondroitin is given along with glucosamine because it has been shown to possibly increase the efficacy of glucosamine. Manganese is a mineral, added because it is essential to the formation of connective tissue, such as cartilage, and is extremely helpful for sufferers of arthritis. It also assists in keeping bones strong and helping to preventing degeneration.

I started using Cosequin for Cats on my 14 year old cat when I noticed she had a hard time jumping onto my bed. She was always so playful, but she really started to go downhill fast. I took her into the vet, who wanted to start shots right away, but I decided to try something gentler first. I am so glad I did. This supplement has really helped Sasha, and it has also saved me money. I feel good about using it, and now, if we need to, Sasha can get the shots later and so that her quality of life will stay high for a longer time than if I had gone with the shots right away.
