No, there is no difference between the active ingredients of glucosamine and MSM in Dasuquin or human labeled products. However, there is very little regulation and oversight with any supplements - human or veterinary. This means that some manufacturers put too little or way too much of an active ingredient in a supplement, regardless of the label claims. Personally, I often recommend using the Nutramax products (manufacturer of Dasuquin) since I'm more comfortable with their testing than with many other brands on the market. I hope that helps to answer your question and that a joint supplement benefits Honeybear!
