Synoquin for dogs: Details

Previously known as Synoquin maintenance, Synoquin can be used for dogs (and cats) suffering with arthritis, osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease. It is available in both tablet form and sprinkle capsules and it can be used for long term treatment. If no results are seen after 6 weeks it is suggested that you consult with your veterinarian. Synoquin is described as containing higher levels of chondroprotective agents than can be found in a normal diet. These agents are important for healthy cartilage. The product is available in three varieties for small medium and large dogs. Dosage begins with a loading dose for 6 weeks, 2 capsules for small breed dogs, 3 for medium breed dogs and 4 capsules for large dogs (40kg and over). The maintenance dose is then reduced to 1 tablet for small and medium and 2 for large breed dogs. Synoquin is available for purchase from many UK based sites, the cost of this product varies depending on the amount of tablets and dog size but it can cost on average 12.99 GBP ($20.50) for 30 caps for small breed and 15.99 GBP ($25) for 30 caps for large breed.

Conclusion

Synoquin is specifically designed to be used long term and its manufacturers state that if the product is used with other prescription arthritic medication it may reduce the dosage required of these drugs. It provides a safe alternative to pet owners concerned about the long term effects of NSAIDS. In terms of price and the high potency of active ingredients, Synoquin may prove to be a competitive joint supplement. However the fact that this product is predominantly only available for purchase in the UK means USA residents may be subject to additional shipping costs and waiting times, depending on which site you purchase this product.
