Carprofen is prescribed to relieve pain and inflammation caused by arthritis and other joint problems, so you can help your dog maintain her regular activity levels and quality of life. Carprofen may also help to reduce pain associated with surgeries and other painful conditions, and works by limiting your dog's production of prostaglandins, which are substances that can trigger inflammation. And since these uncoated tablets have a wag-worthy beef flavor, your dog won't mind taking his medication!
Proudly sourced directly from the manufacturer or their approved distributor. Guaranteed genuine and backed by the manufacturer.

Carprofen 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.
Carprofen is tolerated well in the vast majority of dogs, and the risk for side effects occurring appears to be less than 1%. But rarely, serious side effects (stomach ulcers, liver, or kidney problems) and sometimes death have been reported.
Side effects that may be serious or indicate a serious problem:
If you see any of these signs, stop giving the drug and contact your veterinarian immediately.
No known drug interactions have been reported.
This class of drug may be associated with gastrointestinal, renal and hepatic toxicity. When nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit prostaglandins that cause inflammation they may also inhibit those prostaglandins which maintain normal homeostatic function. This may result in clinically significant disease in pets with underlying or pre-existing disease more often than in healthy pets. The use of parenteral fluids during surgery should be considered to reduce the potential risk of renal complications when using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs perioperatively.

Carprofen.
Give this medication by mouth according to your veterinarian's instructions. It can be given one or two times a day but your veterinarian will be able to determine the dose and frequency best suitable for your dog.
Store at controlled room temperatures between 68° - 77°F.
Carprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication that helps relieve the pain and inflammation that occurs with arthritis in dogs. It also helps bring relief from other joint problems and can help your pet to feel better after surgery. Carprofen is the generic alternative to Rimadyl, Novox, and Vetprofen.
Carprofen can be given once a day or it can be split into twice daily dosing. Your veterinarian will determine the dosage of medication and the frequency at which it should be given. Give this medication by mouth (orally). Gastrointestinal upset including vomiting and diarrhea may be minimized if Carprofen is given with food. Carprofen should be given at the lowest dose necessary to help your dog to feel better. You should never administer Carprofen to a pet other than the one for which it has been prescribed for.
Chemicals in the body called prostaglandins are reduced with Carprofen. Since prostaglandins trigger inflammation, minimizing them helps decrease inflammation and pain that occurs as a result of arthritis, surgery, and other joint conditions.
Symptoms of arthritis include stiffness, trouble walking, and difficulty rising. These symptoms can be relieved with Carprofen although this medication will not cure arthritis since there is no known cure for this chronic condition. Your dog should start to feel better although results vary in each individual. If you discontinue Carprofen you may notice your dogs symptoms returning.
Also available in caplets and chewable tablets.
Quick service, easy to order, customer service is wonderful. I am saving a lot of money getting my prescription with Chewy versus the vet. I was happy to find out that I could do this. It was easy to work with the vet as well
My dog will eat these without any hesitation and that is fabulous. The problem I have with them is when I cut them in half, using the scored line, they crumble. I feel like some are getting wasted.
Tablets crumble when cut into smaller pieces, making it impossible to give correct, prescribed dose. I have tried contacting Chewy twice about this with no response. I will not be purchasing this again, especially not from this company.
The particular brand that you used to fill my dogs prescription even though lightly scored do not cut evenly at all. In fact they crumble terribly. The instructions from my vet is to cut the 75mg tablets in half (half dose daily) however, Ina is suppose to receive only 1/4 of the tablet at a time so I have to cut the 1/2 tablet in half again. Most of the time I end up getting a lot of dust/crumbs instead of a nice clean 1/4 tab. You might look into securing a better brand to dispense to your customers.
My prescription was handled professionally and super quick! As always - Chewy delivered excellent customer service!
The tablets are smaller than the ones from the vet but my dog still takes them eagerly. They work just as well.
Chewy's service is great, but this medicine cannot be easily cut in half because it crumbles when cut. My vet said their med cuts easily. From a different Pharm company I guess.
Not sure if manufacture changed the generic Carprofen but we give 1/2 tablet and the new order was smaller pills
I see a lot of reviews that say the tablets are hard to cut in half. It is true that they crumble when cut. However they can easily be snapped in half with your fingers.
Really disappointed in these tablets. Tried several different methods but they don't split in half if you need half a dose. They crush very easily. I purchased the 100mg. Would not recommend them.
