Synoquin or Cosequin

[Natalie12]

Hi All,

My horse has recently been diagnosed with Spavins, has had Injections in hocks and Tildren and i also recently put him on Cortaflex HA... I still don't have a sound horse!

Quite a few people have mentioned Synoquin... others Cosequin... can anyone tell me the main differences and there experiences with them both??

Which would you recommend??? I know Cosequin is a little less expensive but i just want the best most effective one really for him!

Thank you!

Thanks for that.. can i ask how much is a tub of Synequin and how long does it last you?
Thanks

The cheapest place I have found Synequin is Beeston Animal Health: http://www.wormers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Feed_Supplements_26.html. It's £120 a tub, but this will last my horse months at maintenance dose. It's a pricey initial outlay, but worth it IMO.

Great thank you... i know if i get it through my vets its more on the £200 mark... the only thing is i do wonder if i can still claim it on my insurance if it doesn't come directly through my vets??
Thanks

Hmmm, not too sure, I'd give your insurance company a call to check with them. I would have thought you could source it from anywhere you like though and the insurance company should be OK with it as long as it's on the vets reccommendation.

You should be able to get either Sunoquine or Cosequin with your insurance - as long as it is part of the vet's recommendation to support the horse.

And in order to get it cheaper than your vet - they can issue you with a prescription to enable you to shop around for it.
