If Your Best Friend is Hurting,
Step Up the Care.


If your dog tires easily, limps, is slow to rise, or avoids climbing, running and jumping, canine osteoarthritis may be the cause. Osteoarthritis begins when joint cartilage is compromised by injury, genetics or simply old age. Each year, osteoarthritis injures more than eight million dogs. The condition gets worse every day, so it's important to see your veterinarian immediately if your dog is showing signs of stiffness or pain or experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above.

Adequan ® Canine (POLYSULFATED GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN)
is the Right Step to Take.


It is essential to find the right treatment fast. Adequan ® Canine (POLYSULFATED GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN) is the only canine osteoarthritis product on the market that offers relief from pain and also helps treat the disease processes. The other treatments either don't work (nutritional supplements) or only mask the pain (pain killers). Unfortunately those products may encourage the dog to be active without protecting the joints from further damage or helping them heal. Adequan ® Canine is a prescription drug product that actually helps treat the underlying cause of the problem and helps break the cycle of damage.

You can be confident with the safety of Adequan ® Canine based on clinical studies, field-testing and experience from years of use. Adequan ® Canine has an excellent safety profile and can be used in all breeds. And, Adequan ® Canine (POLYSULFATED GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN) is well tolerated.

Nothing Is Better than Getting Better.

Adequan ® Canine (POLYSULFATED GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN) is the first product that is proven to help treat the disease as well as the pain of osteoarthritis. It actually helps modify the disease cycle and control the symptoms. This effective, injectable treatment is available by prescription and administered by your own veterinarian.

  • As damaging enzymes form, Adequan ® Canine blocks them.
  • When inflammation causes pain, Adequan ® Canine relieves it.
