$150 payments for dog owners from $11.5 million settlement — who qualifies and how to claim
A class action settlement offers up to $150 to eligible California residents who purchased specific Cosequin dog joint supplements between 2016 and 2022.Summary
A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Nutramax Laboratories, the manufacturer of Cosequin dog joint supplements, regarding allegedly misleading marketing claims. The lawsuit claimed advertisements overstated the supplements’ benefits for dogs with joint discomfort, citing a study showing no significant improvement in mobility. While Nutramax Laboratories hasn’t admitted wrongdoing, they’ve agreed to a $11.5 million settlement to avoid further litigation. California residents who purchased qualifying Cosequin products (DS Maximum Strength Chewable Tablets, DS Maximum Strength Plus MSM Chewable Tablets, Maximum Strength Plus MSM Chewable Tablets, with MSM Chewable Tablets, DS Maximum Strength Plus MSM Soft Chews, Maximum Strength Plus MSM Soft Chews, and with MSM Soft Chews) between May 3, 2016, and May 6, 2022, for personal pet use are eligible for reimbursement. Claimants can receive $25 per unit purchased, up to a maximum of $150 per household. No proof of purchase is required; claimants simply state the number of units purchased on the official settlement website before the July 21, 2026, deadline. The final payout amount will depend on the total number of claims submitted.
