Is Cosequin best for my active dachshund? Can dogs overdose?

Question

My dachshund is very active and he is 6. He currently is on a joint supplement, cosequin with vitamins and minerals (pitured below). I want to put him in another joint supplement beacuse many of vitamins in the cosequin are already in his kibble. I was probaly thinking the standard cosequin. Is that a good choice? What is best for him for a joint supplement? And also is it possible to overdose him on vitamins or supplements? I have done research but need some guidance on what be be best for him.

Hello. Yes, you can overdose on SOME vitamins, but for the most part, excesses are easily excreted from the body. What is found in food & supplements like Cosequin are minimal & so would require massive amounts to cause an overdose. I feel that the Cosequin brand is an excellent product, & administering the recommended amount of any of the Cosequin products along with Oscar's food will never cause a problem. Just choose whatever product Oscar will eat, & you will be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
