Carprofen (Generic) Flavored Tablets for Dogs

Calvin loves to watch people go by our house. He had a prime seat for this when I had Covid, and was often sleeping on the sofa, he sat at my feet and could easily see people walking by. He got the waggle giggle ball for Christmas and from the first time getting it out of the wrapping, it has become a favorite toy. He is a Bassett/ Lab/ Border Collie mix and has the big Bassett paws, which are perfect for batting the ball around soccer style.

Our vet prescribed 1 to 1.5 tablets daily of the 100 mg carprofen. This dosing makes it necessary to use a pill cutter. In the most recent refill order, the tablets are by a different manufacturer -Dechra. When splitting the pills they crumble into small pieces and dust making any effort at correct dosing almost impossible. The tablets are scored so cutting them with a pill cutter is, typically, no issue. I understand these are flavored and meant to be chewable but given the dosing, I should have ordered the caplets. Posting this review so others don’t make the same mistake. The pills are: orange, round, F100;MG;BP-CAR.

I don't know what is with the reviews about people complaining how they're hard to break. I've never had trouble breaking these and I've been ordering them for a couple of years or so. Most times I can just break with my fingers and split it perfectly in half. But I also have a pill cutter which works well. Perhaps these people have a pill cutter that is not properly cutting pills and I should get a different one. I don't know but ignore anyone that says difficult to break. Product works great, it's a great price, it's convenient to have it delivered, and you can split them in half no problem.

We’ve been ordering for 2 years now. Secret for cutting is use a pill cutter and PUT THE PILL ON ITS SIDE WHEN YOU CUT! Clean break! If you lay it flat and cut it on the score, you have powder! We cut 90 pills in under 10 minutes, exactly in half, no powder. (We had.the same issue originally and figured it out by pill #5.)

My regular autoship of Carprofen tablets was out of stock and I needed to pick a substitute so I picked flavored Carprofen tablets. These are the easiest pills to get my dog to take and he loves the flavor. So much so that I have replaced my regular Carprofen tablet order with these.

Due to shape of caplet, this Carprofen is very difficult and frustrating to split. A pill splitter shatters it and causes crumbly powder, losing some of the pill's effectiveness. Would much prefer the elongated shaped caplet, easy to handle for dog that needs 1/2 each serving.

The dosage for my dog was 37mg twice a day. So I ordered the 75 mg tablet thinking I could easily split them. Well they are not easily splitable. I tried pill cutters, sharp knives, nothing worked. Most of them broke into a bunch of little pieces. So I have all these little pieces thatshe won't eat because she must have tasted them at one point. What a waste of money.

I ordered these from chewy as they are 1/3 of the price than they are from our Vet. They are not the same chewable tablet our dogs love as treats we get from the vet. One of our dogs will take it as a treat but the other one spits it out. A good value if your dog will take it, I may need to order from the vet for my lab.

The RX I got from the Vet was scored and easy to break in half. This RX from Chewy, is a great price and I love the auto fill, however, these pills are a different shape, they are scored, but very, very hard to cut in half, and impossible to break in half.

This is my second order for this because it works great and is so much cheaper than getting it at the vet. The first time the tablets were easy to break. This second batch is harder. I tried to use a pill cutter and they crumbled and then I read another review explaining how to hold the pill and it broke perfectly. Zoey is 14 with arthritis from an accident that caused a neck issue. With this pill and the help of a wonderful chiropractor she is doing great for 14, very active and happy! All I can hope for.
