Location: Sunny So Cal | I have been using Adequan for about 8 years and I love it. I can definitely feel a difference when I use it. But the directions have changed so many times I'm not always sure how to use it. I have been doing the loading doses every 4 months and then on the inbetween months just once a month. Would like to know what everyone else is doing for dosing. I also have my horse on Legend.  |

Location: North Dakota | I've been using it on my gelding for about a year now. I think it's helping but we've had to do a lot of other stuff too, so I guess I dont' really know for sure but I also don't want to take him off it.
We did the loading dose last year, and then have been doing it once a month. I was just at my vet's about 2 weeks ago and asked her about the "new research" that says to do a loading dose twice a year. She said there is still conflicting evidence on it, and it's cheaper to do once a month so we will continue with that.

Location: Lost in the swamps | Just finished a 7dose series, I find he had a lot more reach and"spring" in his step and he isn't nearly as body sore for over compensating. |

| Love it! I don't use it anymore because I can't give shots and it was a pain to have someone come out all the time and do it. I still give my dog Adequan and she is like a puppy again since we started the shots, but I can take her to the vet real quick and have it done no problem. The horses, not as easy.... |

I don't compete anymore but if I did my horses would be on it. My vet is also one of the top standardbred breeders and racers in the country. He always felt it was better than Legend. |

Location: Living in my Promised Land | I used it for several years when Adequan was hard to get. It worked for the first year, then not so much. When I went back to Adequan, I saw the improvement that let me know that I was back on the right track. |
