Review: Helpful Joint Supplement for My Senior Cat - I’ve been using **Nutramax Laboratories Cosequin Joint Health Supplement for Cats** for my senior cat, and it has made a noticeable difference in her mobility and comfort. As she’s getting older, I’ve seen some stiffness in her joints, and she has been less willing to jump onto her favorite spots. Since starting this supplement, she seems to move around more easily and has even regained some of her enthusiasm for jumping and playing. Each capsule contains a good combination of **glucosamine** and **chondroitin**, which are known to support joint health, and I appreciate that it’s the **#1 vet-recommended** supplement for cats. The product comes in a convenient **two-pack** with 160 capsules in total, which lasts a long time and provides excellent value. I simply break open the capsules and mix the powder with her food. She seems to enjoy the taste, and I’ve had no issues getting her to take it. It’s easy to administer and doesn't cause any digestive upset, which is a huge plus. I can tell the difference in her activity level and general demeanor. She’s been more playful and less stiff, especially after getting up from long naps. It’s reassuring to know that this supplement is helping maintain her joint health and overall well-being, especially as she gets older. Overall, I highly recommend **Cosequin Joint Health Supplement** to anyone with a senior cat, especially if you’ve noticed any signs of joint discomfort. It’s a simple and effective way to help support your cat’s mobility, and it has made a significant improvement in my cat’s quality of life.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you break the capsules into the cats food easily?**
A: Have been giving these to my small female tabby at the night feeding for years. I open the capsule (which is very easy) and pour the contents right onto the middle of the wet food pile, then cover over with a small amount of the food. I then (and I do this for the young male who doesn't get the Cosequin) pour a little boxed broth (beef or chicken) into the empty cat food can and swish/rinse it then pour that over the food. The female has always eaten the food Cosequin and all.

**Q: Can this safely be used with begining stage kidney issues?**
A: I called the company (888-886-6442) because my 16 yr. old cat also has kidney issues and I was told by them that it is fine to given them the Cosequin.  Their safety studies have  shown no problems.  FYI, my cat has shown good improvement with the product.

**Q: I see no msm in this. I thought cats needed this as well. Has anyone tried something with msm? Does it make a difference?**
A: 1."MSM" stands for "Methylsulfonylmethane";  and Chondroitin is basically the Chondroitin Sulphate form in the joints.2.MSM helps in controlling rheumatoid arthritis; Chondroitin helps in controlling osteoarthritis.Pasted from <http://www.differencebetween.net/science/health/drugs-health/difference-between-msm-and-chondroitin/Cosequin® for Cats?Cosequln, the #1 Veterinarian recommended retail joint health supplement brand, plays an important role in maintaining optimal joint function. Healthy articular (joint) cartilage is crucial to joint utility. Cosequin helps support cartilage production and protect against existing cartilage from breakdown. Cosequin contains FCHG49® Glucosamine Hydrochloride and TRH122® Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate*, an exclusive trademarked combination of ingredients. Cosequin is manufactured following standards similar to those practiced by the pharmaceutical industry. There are not many joint support options available specifically for cats. There are some products used in dogs that are not as safe in cats. Cosequin for Cats has been shown to be safe in cats. Cosequin provides joint health support while maintaining your cats comfort level. Some veterinarians also recommend Cosequin for cats to help support urinary bladder health. The inner lining of the bladder wall is protected by a layer that contains some of the same compounds found in cartilage. This layer helps protect against urine and the waste products contained within it from seeping into and affecting the inner lining of the bladder. Since the low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate found in Cosequin is available to more than just cartilage cells, the bladder may use it to help support this protective layer. Cosequin for Cats comes in a convenient sprinkle capsule specially formulated for cats. Pasted from <http://www.nutramaxlabs.com/cosequin-cat-product-lines> For Dogs: All of the ingredients used in Cosequin are listed on the manufacturer's web site. The formula is a combination of Glucosamine HCl, Chondroitin Sulfate, and MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane). MSM provides elemental sulfur, a basic building block for joints and cartilage. However, MSM has not been recognized as GRAS (Generally Recommended As Safe) The purpose of this product is to provide support for healthy connective tissues in aging dogs. - Pasted from <http://doghealthpanel.com/cosequin-review>  No mention was given to usage in Cats.  However after research : Nutramax Laboratories does has a  supplement  "Cosequin® for Cats - Professional Line" with Boswellia Serrata Extract  --- Extracts of Boswellia serrata have been clinically studied for osteoarthritis and joint function, particularly for osteoarthritis of the knee, with the research showing a slight improvement of both pain and function compared to a placebo.4 Positive effects of Boswellia in some chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, osteoarthritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have been reported.5 A Boswellia extract marketed under the name Wokvel has undergone human efficacy, comparative, pharmacokinetic studies.678 Some see Boswellia serrata as a promising alternative to NSAIDs, warranting further investigation in pharmacological studies and clinical trials.

**Q: Anyone else notice that recent capsules/powder have unpleasant smell?**
A: Yes! Ordered 2 bottles back in Jan. 2017 (both with EXP date on Jan 2020), one bottle was ok but the secomd one had a very strong distinct stale smell right as soon as I opened it; gave it to my cat anyway, less than a week after he developed a bad itchy reaction all over his head to the point I had to take him to the vet where we also compared the Cosequin bottles and the vet agreed that mine had a very bad smell. I've been using Cosequin for about 2 years, pills have a bit of smell but not that strong and aweful smell I experienced last; cannot return it cause, by the time I opened the second bottle 30 days has gone by :-( . Next time, 1 bottle at the time and I won't order from a third party merchant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for mobility
*by P***B on January 14, 2026*

Great for protecting joints and keeps cats active and pain free. 1 pill a day opened and put in wet food with zero issues

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my cat with anxiety issues
*by J***O on December 30, 2025*

This and zylkene have helped my anxious kitty relax. He had bladder issues and is on a special diet for that , but when I'm traveling and he misses me we use this for the calming feature and it has worked at helping him not get bladder problems. Sometimes I use gabapentin too (but that is a script from the vet). He is a little odd in that he loves to eat the pills, even my sister (a vet) recommends these and was shocked that my cat just loves to chew the pill and lick up the contents.
