Seraquin was specially formulated by Boehringer Ingelheim to provide the best possible encouragement for the health of synovial joints. Seraquin tablets for cats and dogs are a combination of glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulphate and curcumin. Glucosamine and chondroitin are well known as natural supplements which are helpful for the promotion of normal function of cartilage and other components of joints. Curcumin is a powerful natural antioxidant which can help to reduce the damage caused by the free radicals. Overall, the combination of ingredients in Seraquin encourages optimal joint function. Seraquin is given once daily to cats and dogs and Seraquin for horses has a different formulation to best suit this species.
Seraquin is a palatable medicine in the form of a chewable tablet that can also be crumbled in food, so it is easy to administer to your dog or cat. It is naturally derived from high quality ingredients, meaning your pet will not suffer from any unwanted side effects and it can be given long term. Regular use can promote your pet’s joint health and is therefore particularly helpful for older pets.
