Cosequin Double Strength (DS) Cat is a
nutritional supplement for supporting joint function in cats. It contains a
unique combination of active ingredients that support the cartilage. It's

powder form allowing you to give cosequin easily to your cat.
Three main ingredients in Cosequin Cat supports
normal joint function:
-Glucosamine Hydrochloride supports the secretion
of GAG’s (Glycosaminoglycans) produced by cartilage cells from

control of water content.

decreases the tensile strength of the fibres.
