As someone that has been in the animal health industry since 2007, I would like to offer a different product for consideration. I do not have ANY affiliation with this product, just extensive personal experience with both products.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008KHL...TMX03
The Synovi G4 offers a better "blend" that addresses more things that tend to occur within the joint and surrounding tissue than the Dasaquin.
Inflammation, free-radicals, synovial fluid production.
In all fairness, there is another Dasaquin product that is almost as comparable (primarily missing the Creatine Monohydrate which supports muscle tissue that tends to waste on older dogs) to the Synovi G4. It called Dasaquin Advanced and it is WAY more expensive than the Synovi G4 and at least 2x the price of this Dasaquin.
Again, my experience is with both products and got incredible feedback from pet owners that were using the Synovi G4, many of which had been using Dasaquin prior.
My ONLY motivation to make this post is help people pick the best product for their pet and save the human some $$$ in the process.

Are you familiar with the advertising of Pom Wonderful, the pomegranate juice? Here's an example:

I saw msm, and thought this was a glucosamine supp for "humans".
Eventually i realized I wont be replacing my osteo-biflex with these.
Repped anyway for what looks like a great deal.
The chewy price $44.77 on the 150 CT small-medium dog tablets is also great but requires filler item to get to $50. And my dogs already got plenty of toys.
A true cheapskate like me buys the large dog chews at this price and cuts 1/3 off each of the chews to give to his smaller dogs 2/3 a day (the 30-50 lb dog dose and amount of meaningful ingredients in one of the small size chews/pills is about 2/3 one of these large chews)

btw I gave her the tablet that was for dogs twice her size and just broke it in half since this way cheaper than buying the one for her weight.

The above said, and if true, I'm glad your dog is doing better, but your results are not borne out by clinical evidence in any study that I'm aware of - esp given the age of your dog and the dramatic effects you are claiming.
Meta-analyses have revealed the heterogeneity of out-come measures and the presence of publication bias [2, 3, 7]. The most recent analysis by Wandel and colleagues [60] confirms this. The analysis reported that the estimated differences between placebo and studied supplements were less pronounced in industry-independent trials compared to industry-sponsored trials. However, the retrieved trials in this analysis demonstrated less heterogeneity. The quality of clinical trials, including study design, number of patients, outcome measures and publication bias, justified the drastic reduction of the ES observed for glucosamine over the years and trials.
Also, even in the study you cited, they found a correlation, but had no explanation for the correlation. There could be an easy explanation here... the people in the study taking glucosamine may tend to lead healthier lifestyles and exercise more than the test group that did not take glucosamine supplements. Just like I could create a study that showed rich people tended to live longer than poor people. Well, is the conclusion that having a larger bank account somehow just makes you healthier... no, the reality is that wealthier people tend to have better healthcare insurance and can afford to see a doctor and pay for expensive medical products and services as well. They also tend to be able to eat higher quality foods, such as fresh vegetables vs people living below the poverty line.
Here's the "Conclusion" to the study that you cite from the JABFM:
In conclusion, regular consumption of glucosamine/chondroitin seems to be significantly associated with lower overall and cardiovascular mortality. Given the strength of the association, a 27% lower likelihood of overall mortality and a 58% lower likelihood of cardiovascular death, prospective studies may be warranted.

I gave it to her just as she started having difficulty. Nobody who saw my dog believed she was as old as she was. We lost her at 16 and half this past January. She had soft tissue sarcomas, which I believe she developed from being fixed at too young of an age. We had them removed 3 times throughout her life and this last time my Vet said he didn't think he could remove them safely and wouldn't try until they ruptured since there was a high chance of her having to be put down due to not having enough tissue to close the wound. I brought her to a surgeon in Cape Cod to see if he could do anything and was told pretty much the same thing. They were amazed at her blood test results. They couldn't believe it was from a 16 year old dog.
