Most prescriptions are delivered within 3-5 days.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!

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.
These pills are decent for the price. They arrive without a packing cotton, so there is a lot of dust in the container from shipping. They are just good enough that my dog sometimes eats them without encouragement. Sometimes he spits the pill back out but will finish it if I ask him too. Other then those two complaints they are really well priced so I will continue to buy them.
Lola (15 yrs) has been taking Carprofen from the Vet for several months. She was doing very well. I decided to try this generic flavored tablets which were considerably cheaper. After 2 days she began vomiting and having diarrhea. I discontinued the medication immediately. She is fine now and back taking former medication.
I ordered carprofen for my dog who was supposed to get 1/2 pill daily. Even though the pills are scored they crumble when split. Talked with chewy today and was told there was nothing they could do. I have had a different brand of pills before and they split without a problem. Won't be buying these from chewy again.
Over the years I've used other generics, but this is the first one that crumbles badly when I try to cut it in half, whether with a sharp knife or a pill splitter. The scoring is inadequate--the center part of the score is elevated too much, so the rest doesn't cut correctly. I regret buying 100 of them and will not buy it again.
This is a "miracle drug". Our basset is 13 and was getting very slow and achey. It took 3 days to start seeing improvements in his walking, getting up, and yes, even running. It's so amazing to see the difference.
Getting Carprofen from Chewy saves us lots of trips to our out-of-town vet and over 50% off! Our 11-year-old Golden has been on Carprofen for over a year to help her keep moving. This was the first in her arsenal to treat her arthritis.
I have to give my dog 50mg a day for pain. The prior pills I received were white and cut very east. The pill I am receiving now crumbles and I can not give the correct mgs!!!! Please change manufacturer from DECHRA. I will have to toss these and order 25mg dosage! I love Chewy and I know they will take heed of these complaints.
Previous orders, the pills were a different shape. This one the pills are perfectly round and too big for any pill gun. My dog is a thorough chewer and peanut butter, pill pockets, chunky food, etc, nothing works cause he feels the pill and spits it out!
My dog can only take half of 1 pill. When you cut these they crumble into dust! They are the absolute worst plus they don't even seem nearly as effective. Unfortunately I have to get the Rimadyl which is 5 times the cost but they actually work and easily break in half. Guess you get what you pay for.
Crystal knew exactly what I needed and knew how to pronounce it when I didn't. The product came quickly and surprised me how quickly it was delivered. So far, it seems to be a big help for arthritis.
