Thanks for this post and your detail on it. I’m looking for a way to get my cat to take it. She’s rather small (7 lbs) and I can’t give it to her in the capsule because it would choke her. She also hates it on the food (it seems like this “flavor” claim is a lot of bunk, eh?). I was hoping to dissolve it in water and give it via dropper. Do you know how much water to use per pill?

Jeffrey – thanks so much for posting your experience. Similar to other people’s stories, my vet suggested Dasuquin for my soon to be 14-year old kitty cat. She’s a rather large girl, so I am giving her two capsules a day for the first six weeks. My vet told me not to get too excited if my cat showed remarkable improvement at around week 4; she told me this is short-lived and that I could expect the activity/energy level to subside to something better than it had been – if this works at all. (In trying to substantiate this, I came across your web site.)

Like you with Wubba, I did notice a little improvement last week (week 2) – but this is the end of week 3, and she seems a little worse. Could be she doesn’t feel well because she hasn’t been eating as much. I’ve been trying to “hide” the contents of the pill in Fancy Feast – which she loved but I think she’s also disappointed with the flavor. I’m encouraged by other people’s posts and your experience with Wubba – so I’m going to continue my kitty on the therapy and see what happens.

Thank you for posting reviews — our vet just talked us into Dasuquin for a 16-year-old Siamese male (who also wouldn’t eat it sprinkled on food).

The tuna and chicken flavoring is listed as “natural” but it can’t be real. One of our other cats is allergic to fish but hasn’t had a reaction after eating some of the food with powder.
