About Adequan Canine
Arthritis is a common and incredibly frustrating disease for aging dogs. Adequan Canine is used to provide relief by controlling symptoms associated with degenerative or traumatic arthritis. This drug must be injected intramuscularly to ensure it reaches the critical parts of the joint. Once administered, it goes to work in about two hours, and for roughly three days, Adequan Canine will reduce inflammation and increasing the thickness of joint fluid.

Adequan Canine helps maintain cartilage density and helps ensure that joints are healthy. If your dog is suffering from joint pain due to arthritis, administering this medicine should result in signs of improvement within four weeks.

Rated 5 out of 5 Depend on it! I have a mastiff that has had both ACL's repaired and is 12 years old! Amazing gal, but keeps on keeping on with the help of her bi-monthly Adequan injections. I have her on several other medications as well. I can always tell when it is time for the next injection as she begins to slow down. However, once I administer it within a day or so she is much better. I call her my million dollar dog!!! It does help to purchase from Pet Care RX on the cost! October 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Dakota 11year old lab Dakota had trouble getting up, stiffness, climb a step and rear legs would give out and he would fall. Started Putting on weight, would get excited and not b able to move. It was time to put him down, my vet recommended we try shots of Adequan, we would try anything. I learned how to give him the medicine shots at home,first shot Dakota was running, not kidding, playing ball and active, smiling,happy, best medicine for my dog. Almost two years on meds,he is doing great ... ... May 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 9 yr old lab- renewed energy and love of life Oh My Gosh.... I was certain our 9 yr old lab was headed for hip surgery for sure. We've known she had hip dysplasia since she was a puppy and have made sure to add glucosamine and chondroitin & fish oil for years and years. We kept her trim and provided lots of opportunities for swim workouts. However, over the last 4-5 months, she had declined so much she could hardly walk a mile w/out major limping and terrible stiffness and pain. Our vet recommended Adequan instead and I've been so overjoyed to see the spring in her step again- after just a few doses. Thank goodness for this option! January 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Adequan - a miracle!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY - a miracle drug that is helping my 7 year old shih tzu have a normal life again..She is actually putting all four feet on the ground when she runs and plays with the other 2 playmates here. It was heart breaking to see her limp with Arthritis pain. My mother recommended Adequan. Always listen to your mother!! I spoke with my vet; and here we are....HAPPY. By the way she was having trouble with her right front foot. I certainly will recommend this to other dog parents.... July 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 adequan This really helps my Pug feel better. I can tell the difference after he takes it. He is more playful. March 7, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 this is miraculous!!! My dog was no longer able to get up on his own,but after taking this medication, acts like a puppy again! He is a little sore the first evening after getting the shot,but not sore enough to lay around doing nothing.I feel like this med saved my dogs life, and would strongly suggest any owner of an arthritic suffering animal consider the higher costs of this med. Its well worth trying to save your best pals life. December 1, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 As close to a miracle drug as I can find. I have not purchased Adequan through PetcareRX yet but plan to soon. My 2 year old dog has gotten Adequan injections since his diagnosis of Arthritis 6 months ago. He is on no other meds. The difference has been INCREDIBLE. He is no longer slow to give up and I do not hear his joints cracking as I did before. You can still see the stiffness but it's impact on him seems much less significant. Talk to your vet about this!
