Overview
For most horses, Cosequin can be conveniently topdressed. If your horse is not fed sweet feed, you can add a small amount of water or molasses to get the Cosequin to stick to the grains. You can also add molasses to appease a more finicky animal.
For some horses, it may be easiest to oral dose. Simply mix Cosequin with a small amount of water or molasses and dose orally with a syringe.
The initial administration period is 4 to 6 weeks. The dosage can be increased but should not be decreased during this period. If a horse shows little or no response after 30 days, extend the initial dosage for two (2) more weeks.
Initial Administration:
Average Horse
3 level scoops AM and PM
1,200 lbs. or over
4 level scoops AM and PM
Overly large horses (warmbloods, draft breeds)
may need 4 to 5 scoops AM & PM
Transitional Period:
Please do not lower dosage until horse has begun to respond. After horse has achieved a good response, reduce daily dosage by one (1) level scoop each week. Reducing the horse’s dosage in this manner will help find its individual maintenance level more easily. Always watch the animal’s movement and attitude to ensure that it is still feeling comfortable through each weekly transition. Dosage may be increased at any time if needed.
Suggested Maintenance Administration:
Average Horse
