SYNOQUIN® Large Breed is available as tablets or sprinkle capsules for dogs over 25 kg.

SYNOQUIN® Large Breed Tablets
The tablets contain pork liver flavouring and are highly palatable. Most dogs will eat these chewable tablets like a treat. This format offers a flavoured option for owners building joint supplementation into their dog’s daily routine.
SYNOQUIN® Large Breed Capsules
The sprinkle capsules provide an alternative to tablets. They have no added flavouring, although the krill ingredient gives them a fishy taste. These capsules can be given whole but in most cases are sprinkled on the food.

Is Large Breed the Right Size for My Dog?
Choose the SYNOQUIN® formulation according to your dog’s weight, rather than breed name alone.
Large Breed is for dogs over 25 kg, including mixed-breed dogs within this weight range.
The daily amount differs for dogs up to 40 kg and those over 40 kg. Check the feeding guide below and ask your veterinary clinic if you are unsure which formulation to choose.
For other weight ranges, explore:
• SYNOQUIN® Medium Breed - for dogs weighing 10–25 kg.
• SYNOQUIN® Small Breed - for dogs weighing under 10 kg.
You can also compare the range on our SYNOQUIN® for Dogs page.
Ingredients That Support Joint Health
SYNOQUIN® combines five key ingredients:
• Glucosamine HCl: Supports the production of cartilage and lubricating joint fluid.
• Chondroitin Sulphate: Helps cartilage perform its shock-absorbing role.
• Dexahan: Purified krill providing Omega 3 essential fatty acids and the antioxidant Astaxanthin.
• Ascorbic Acid: Vitamin C, providing antioxidant support.
• Zinc Sulphate: Contributes to cartilage metabolism.
Together, these ingredients provide nutritional support for cartilage protection, joint function and mobility.
Supporting Your Large Dog’s Mobility
Changes in everyday activities can be a reason to speak with your vet. Your dog may become reluctant to exercise, appear stiff or find steps more difficult.
Your veterinary team can assess these changes and recommend an individual joint-management plan. SYNOQUIN® can form part of that plan alongside appropriate exercise, weight management and any other care your vet recommends.
How to Give Synoquin Large Breed
The feeding programme starts with a six-week loading period, followed by ongoing maintenance. The quantities below refer to Large Breed tablets or Large Breed capsules.
Initial six weeks:
• 25 - 40kg 2 in the morning and 1 in the evening

Long-term maintenance
