Overview
["This 84 count beef flavored soft chew delivers 900 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride, 800 mg of MSM, 350 mg of sodium chondroitin sulfate, 90 mg of ASU powder, 40 mg of Boswellia serrata extract and 32 mg of green tea extract per chew, roughly 1.5 times the dosing found in Nutramax's small to medium Dasuquin soft chew, matching the needs of larger dogs.", "It's labeled for large breed dogs and comes as a soft chew rather than a hard tablet, which tends to be easier to give as part of a daily routine. The 1.2 pound supply is sized to support consistent daily use.", 'At $59.99, this is one of the pricier joint supplements in the lineup, but it holds a #4 Best Sellers Rank in Dog Hip & Joint Care and a #175 overall Pet Supplies rank, backed by 18,811 reviews averaging 4.7 stars and roughly 10,000 units bought in the past month.']

Performance notes
The higher per-chew dosing, 900 mg glucosamine and 800 mg MSM compared to 600 mg and 400 mg in the small to medium version, reflects the larger body mass this formula is built for. Combined with Boswellia and green tea extract on top of the standard glucosamine-chondroitin-ASU-MSM base, this is one of the more complete large-breed joint formulas in the Dasuquin line.
What buyers say
With 18,811 reviews averaging 4.7 stars and roughly 10,000 units bought in the past month, this soft chew shows strong, sustained demand among owners of larger dogs.
How does this compare to the small to medium Dasuquin soft chew?
This large dog version has roughly 1.5 times the glucosamine and MSM per chew compared to the small to medium soft chew, matching the higher dosing needs of bigger dogs.
What flavor is this soft chew?
This version comes in a beef flavor, which is different from the chicken and liver flavored options found elsewhere in Nutramax's joint supplement lineup.
Can I give this to a small dog instead of the small to medium version?
It's not recommended. This large dog formula is dosed at a higher milligram amount per chew, so a small dog's version would be a better match for their size and needs.
