Carprieve (Carprofen) is the generic version of Rimadyl. These chewable tablets are formulated to help provide pups with relief from pain and inflammation related to osteoarthritis. They may also be given to your dog to help control postoperative pain associated with the soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries. These chewable tablets are available in 25 mg, 75 mg and 100 mg strengths.
UsesCarprofen is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and for the control of postoperative pain associated with soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries in dogs.
Possible Side EffectsTypical undesirable effects associated with NSAIDs such as vomiting, soft faeces/diarrhoea, faecal occult blood, loss of appetite and lethargy have been reported. These adverse reactions occur generally within the first treatment week and are in most cases transient and disappear following termination of the treatment but in very rare cases may be serious or fatal.
As with other NSAIDs there is a risk of rare renal or idiosyncratic hepatic adverse events.
Drug & Food InteractionsDo not administer other NSAIDs and glucocorticoids concurrently or within 24 hours of each other. Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with other highly bound drugs, which can lead to toxic effects.
Concurrent administration of potential nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided.

Do not use in pregnant or lactating bitches.
Do not use in puppies less than 4 months of age.
Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipents.

Great product
By Prettymans on Feb 5, 2021
Getting my dogs medicine from Chewy was so easy. It only took about 5 days to get which was way faster than I expected. Our vet doesn't carry the chewable medication in his office so we were grateful to have it available through chewy so we could have it added to our monthly auto ship. Very convenient!

Perfect and so much cheaper!
By Teresa on Feb 1, 2021
We were spending almost 3x on the name brand. These came fast and I was able to get a 2 month supply for WAY less than I was spending on the name brand. Added it to my Autoship and don't have to worry about ordering refills!

If you have to cut these in quarters like we do, these do not crumble. We have had others that end up in multiple pieces by the time you are finished. Fast shipping by Chewy too.
