I had the same question as I wanted to see if it was same dosage as Cosequin DS (which I currently give to my dog). Had to go to product site Nutramax to find it:http://www.nutramaxlabs.com/vet/products/cosequin-hip-and-joint-support.aspxIt's under administration link there -- funny thing is that the glucosamine mg is same as Cosequin DS but they don't list a lower dosage maintenance level like they do on that product.

The size of the dog doesn't matter, only the size of the pill you have to give to the dog. If the pill is small use the pill pocket, otherwise if the pill is very large you may need the tablet pocket. These products are made for pills (small) and tablets (large). If you are giving your dog just a pill, the pill size is adequate. To save some cash, you could use the larger tablet size pocket and break them into two pieces. The product is very soft and pliable and can me molded around each pill as necessary. I would recommend you try different flavors as one of our dogs did not like the beef flavor but both dogs loved the peanut flavored ones.

Recommended amount to give: 1 teaspoon (5ml) per 10 pounds (5kg) of body weight, or 1 tablespoon (15ml) per 30 pounds (13.6 kg) of body weight. Start slowly, for example, start at a quarter of this and build up slowly. Use similarly for cats and other animals.

Each bottle contains 32 fl. oz. The recommended dosage (as indicated on the label) for a dog weighing between 25-49 lbs. is 2 teaspoons in the morning and 1 teaspoon in the evening, for a total of 1/2 oz. per day. So, in your case a bottle should last 64 days or just over 2 months.

That is what is recommended and that's what I do, but I have always had smaller dogs (largest being about 30 lbs.) It does seem like a lot per dog but they are relatively inexpensive and a 1000 tablet bottle will last a long time. I currently have 9 dogs and give 13 pills daily and a bottle lasts me about 3 months. The product really does work I have used it for over 25 years and only once in all those years did I ever have a flea problem and I have always have multiple dogs (anywhere from 5 to 13 at any given time) and also live in a rural wooded area. I swear by them and I think it would be worthwhile giving them a try. They also improve coat and skin conditions. Hope I was of some help to you.

I looked on the box but it does not tell the mg. You use one wafer for dogs up to 50 pounds and 2 for over 50 pounds.

We do not have a version for smaller dogs. However, we purposely added a score (line on supplement making it very easy to break in half) so owners of smaller dogs could also use our product. The recommended dosage for a large dog is 2 supplements a day during the initial 4 to 6 weeks and then 1 supplement a day for maintenance. Therefore, the recommended dosage for a smaller dog is 1 supplement a day for 4 to 6 weeks and then 1/2 a supplement a day for maintenance. All of this information is referenced on our label. Great question. Thanks for asking. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I was told by NuVet that any dog over 5 pounds should get 1 wafer. I give my boxer (55 pounds) one and sometimes one and a half; the lady I spoke with at NuVet said you can give more and if you want to treat pancreatitis then give more. So if your dog weighs 140 pounds, I would not hesitate to give him or her 2 tablets. They told me that anything your dog does not need, will be flushed out of their system because they are water soluble and they only use what they need. Hope this helps.

The weight of the dog determines the size of the dosage. You can find that information online.

Cheryl, The dosing is based on weight for both cats and dogs according to the label instructions. They indicate .5ml per each 5 lbs. I'm sure this treatment is not something that has to be absolute dosing. If your vet is directing treating with this product, they may suggest a different dosing based on the problem being treated. They will also give you a time frame for treatment. Hope this helps.

I used this powder for my 2 dogs. I mixed it with their food. I hadn't compared the cost between this and a pill form however I recently switched over to tablets because it was easier to determine whether they received the amount they each needed since they share the same food bowl, one dog is 100 lbs and the other is 64 lbs.

It depends on the weight of the dog. there are different dosages depending upon the size of the dog.
