Effect of twice-daily oral administration of a chondroitin sulfate-containing supplement on urine chondroitin sulfate concentrations in dogs.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicated that oral administration of supplemental chondroitin sulfate to dogs modestly increased uCS within 24 hours; however, subsequent supplement administration did not have an additive effect. A potential therapeutic benefit of persistently increased uCS in preventing recurrent urinary tract infections in dogs warrants investigation.
