Many pets are on Cosequin long term to help support their joints, and most of them do well on it. See the link below for more information on potential side effects https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951424 You can speak to your vet about what supplement(s) are appropriate for Oscar's particular condition and how long he should be on them.
