Overview

This is Nutramax's large breed Dasuquin formula built around glucosamine, chondroitin and ASU, short for avocado and soybean unsaponifiables, delivered as a chewable tablet in a 150 count supply. It sits at the higher end of the price range on this list at 69.99 dollars.

Unlike the MSM version of Dasuquin also sold by Nutramax, this formula keeps things to the core three ingredients rather than adding MSM, boswellia or green tea extract.

With a 4.8 star average across roughly 2,700 ratings, it is one of the most highly rated products in this roundup, even though its 1,000 units bought per month is more modest than some of the higher volume sellers here.

Pros

  • Highest rating in this roundup at 4.8 stars across 2,700 reviews
  • Established Nutramax formula combining glucosamine, chondroitin and ASU
  • Chewable tablet format that many dogs take without a fuss
  • 150 count supply built for large breed dogs

Cons

  • No MSM included, unlike Nutramax's own Dasuquin with MSM version
  • One of the pricier options in this category at 69.99 dollars
  • Lower monthly purchase volume than several other products on this list

Performance notes

The core active ingredients called out for this formula are glucosamine, chondroitin and ASU, avocado and soybean unsaponifiables, delivered as a chewable tablet sized for large dogs in a 150 count supply. Nutramax does not list MSM, boswellia or green tea extract in this particular version, which is what separates it from their Dasuquin with MSM line.

What buyers say

A 4.8 star average across about 2,700 ratings is the strongest rating of any product in this hip and joint lineup, even though its roughly 1,000 units bought per month trails a few higher volume competitors.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this and Dasuquin with MSM?

This version is built around glucosamine, chondroitin and ASU only. Nutramax also sells a Dasuquin with MSM formula for large dogs that adds MSM, boswellia serrata extract and green tea extract on top of those same core ingredients.

How many tablets are in a bottle?

This large breed formula comes in a 150 count supply of chewable tablets.

Is this a treatment for a diagnosed joint condition?

No, this is a daily supplement intended to support joint health, not a treatment for arthritis or another diagnosed condition. If your dog has been diagnosed with a joint problem, work with your veterinarian on a full care plan.
