Here's what I know and you can discard some or all but you'll need a different (almost any) subject to educate me.

I believe your expertise and I would prove myself a far bigger fool than I am were I to deny it. I am trying to learn and am not succeeding.

Dasuquin and Dasuquin Advanced are not the same.

You yourself pointed out Dasuquin was for puppies. I don't know what nutrition puppies get from avocados. Do they have any? Dasuquin Advance is for old dogs like me that just think they are pups. Uncompensated researchers seem to agree.

Beyond that Galliprant is not, not, not a pain medication per se. It is intended to keep the synovial fluids flowing which NSAIDS shut down. Pain medication is suggested by some as a supplement and we considered it and decided against it - to do nothing to hinder lubrication.

Happily there is no indication of pain now but there was during a time when we had no piprants for about 10 days and the pains returned and stiffness returned. Took another week or two then for the the current restricted movement to return. The vet had told my wife the arthritis in the chest front joints appeared the most severe while we had concentrated on that one hind leg that seemed useless.

Again I am confounded by the huge gap in appraisals you present but we both appear blind men examining an elephant.

"A new class of drugs called the piprants are being widely studied and one such drug is now available for the treatment of
osteoarthritis associated pain in dogs (Grapiprant). Grapiprant is a selective antagonist of the EP4 receptor, one of the four
prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor subtypes. There are likely to be fewer unwanted side-effects with this class of drug because the
COX-1 and COX-2 pathways are not affected"

That is from this article:
"Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis: What to Do?
Elizabeth Colleran, DVM, MS, DABVP
Chico Hospital for Cats
Chico, CA"

If you don't have an accursed Toshiba laptop with weird exotic bugs that computer experts have invigorated and further supplemented for me, you could probably get the article and URL or you could call Lizzie if you don't mind talking about cat medicine for dogs and people.

I go to great lengths, Buck, to find anything that will expand and confuse the simplest questions and my computers always hate me for it. frown

Hope it's not contagious.
