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.
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 EffectsCarprofen 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:
- Decrease or increase in appetite (eating less or more than normal), vomiting, changes in bowel movements (such as diarrhea, or black, tarry or bloody stools).
- Changes in behavior or activity levels (more or less active than normal), incoordination/weakness (eg, stumbling, clumsiness), seizure (convulsions) or aggression (threatening behavior/actions).
- Yellowing of gums, skin, or whites of the eyes (jaundice).
- Changes in drinking habits (frequency, amount consumed) or urination habits (frequency, color, or smell).
- Changes in skin (redness, scabs, or itchiness).
If you see any of these signs, stop giving the drug and contact your veterinarian immediately.
Drug & Food InteractionsNo known drug interactions have been reported.
Precautions
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.
NOTE: For Generic Medications, picture displayed may not depict actual product. Generic medications may vary from one order to the next by size, color and shape depending on manufacturer. Please note product may arrive in a Chewy Pharmacy vial.
Also available in caplets.

Carprofen.

What is Carprofen?
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.
How is this medication given?
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.
How does it work?
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.
What results can I expect?
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.

Great Price
By JCM5 on Jan 13, 2022
2 of my 3 dogs are on carprofen for arthritis. Carprofen works well to help them when their arthritis is holding them back. I do not give it to them everyday as the medication itself can lead to some side effects, but it does the job when it’s needed. I have tried the regular pill as well as the flavored. My dogs will not take the flavored pill so I just stick with the regular one and wrap it in a small piece of cheese or lunch meat. The price is amazing compared to the vet prices and it is shipped to my door.

Different Manufacturers?
By motogrrrrl on Nov 23, 2021
I have used Chewy to fill this prescription before. It usually comes in a larger flavored chewable tablet that can be broken apart easily to administer in half doses throughout the day. The most recent order I received from Chewy consists of small tablets that do not break apart nicely. I'm not sure if the batch that I received is from a different manufacturer or if it is the non-chewable form of this medication. Either way, there is inconsistency with this product and I'm not sure I'd order it again from Chewy if this is the manufacturer that they have switched to. Pic shows previous product that we like on the left and the new product on he right. (I have reached out to customer service for I have used Chewy to fill this prescription before.

Helped my fur baby
By Buster on Dec 27, 2021
I have a 12yr rescue Maltese and started not being able to jump onto couch. He wanted shorter walks. Vet said he had arthritis and hating to know he was in pain she suggested the Carprofen. It has helped his walking and seems much more active. He is 12 so I dont think he'll act like puppy but to know he's out of a lot of pain makes it worthwhile.

Carprofen smells bad
By Halle on Dec 23, 2021
I thought what I was purchasing was a flavored version but my dog can smell it and won't take it easily, a wrestling match which she thinks is a game until I cram it down her throat. Next purchase I will pay more attention , I wonder if I was sent the wrong version?

Preferred generic carprofen
By yupp on Nov 25, 2021
Other reviews that say manufacturer inconsistent - Chewy offers another generic that is a large tab that can be broken apart easily. This is not that. This is the small tablet, convenient for one day dosing. I like that Chewy offers a variety of genetics to choose from, really any is better than paying a lot for the brand name Rimadyl to get the same medication, Carprofen.

Crumbles too much
By Dogg on Dec 14, 2021
The tablets have a line down the middle as if one can split the tabs in half. I needed the 100 mg tabs to give my pet 50 mg twice a day. But, like others have said, the tablets crumble a lot when one attempts to split them. Much of the tabs become powder when they are split. Annoying.

It works great for our dog
By Jetsmom on Jan 12, 2022
We have tried so many drugs. foods and supplements for our 13 yr old dog and really noticed the difference with Carprofen. It isn't a cure-all but made a difference. It is really worth trying.

Dog didn’t like them
By Kate on Dec 9, 2021
I probably won’t be using this again because my dog won’t eat them straight. While I could wrap it in something, she will spit it out when she finds them. My dog will take the pills I got from vet without hiding it in anything

I am a dog owner
By Sherry on Nov 8, 2021
I had the same issue with the TABLETS crumbling as most people. I talked to the Pharmacist at Chewy and she explained that these are chewable so they are softer. She said I could order CAPLETS instead and these have a slick coating and will not be prone to crumbling. I will order these next time because it is taking my Pharmacy 2-3 weeks to get them in.

Nothing is getting by him!
By PetMomof6 on Nov 7, 2021
I was hoping the chewable would be something he'd take easily, but he's not having it. Has to be crushed in food or wrapped in cheese. He doesn't pick it out of those so it must be palatable. He's just too smart for his own good! It's getting 4 stars because I can't get him to take it alone. Definitely better price than the vet was charging.
