So this medication works However I’m wondering if there’s a non flavored one I can try next time because even with a treat my dog hates this one and spits it out if she tastes it, we had a small script from the vet that she didn’t mind as much but the tablet was much more compact and oblong shaped so it stayed together and apparently didn’t taste as bad when paired with a treat, whereas this one is round and crumbly when split (she’s a 14lb chihuahua/Yorkie so she takes half a 25mg twice a day) she spits out the whole treat with these ones. I don’t quite understand the difference in options when I search because there’s no pictures of the actual pills but does anyone know if there’s a better So this medication works However I’m wondering if there’s a non flavored one I can try next time because even with a treat my dog hates this one and spits it out if she tastes it, we had a small script from the vet that she didn’t mind as much but the tablet was much more compact and oblong shaped so it stayed together and apparently didn’t taste as bad when paired with a treat, whereas this one is round and crumbly when split (she’s a 14lb chihuahua/Yorkie so she takes half a 25mg twice a day) she spits out the whole treat with these ones.

We have a 8-year old mixed terrier guy who we always thought was pretty lazy. But one day I noticed him limping. We started him on carprofen and can’t believe the different in his energy and play levels. He never used to even play with toys before. He even runs and keeps up with his sister. Great price through chewy- auto ship is awesome!

we mailed in our RX and had to wait 2 weeks for their acceptance of the RX. Normally I would agree with Chewy that its the US post office that is the problem but this is the second time this has happen, with the first being pre-covid. I think Chewy needs to look at there method of handling mail within the building first before blaming the USPS.

I purchased flavored tablets of Carprofen instead of the name brand Rimadyl. I assumed I could cut the tablets in half as my dog needs 1 1/2 tablets. These would not cut like the named brand. They smashed keeping me from giving a half a tablet. I'd prefer not to pay the higher price for the named brand but might have to in order to give my dog the proper dosage.

My 7-year-old Sheltie was limping. The only time she would run was to run away when the leashes came out at walk time. The vet thinks there is an arthritis issue amd prescribed Carprofen, to be taken with food. I bury the pill in soft dog food at breakfast and dinner, and my Sheltie is happy to take her "treat." I am grateful to our vet for Dx and Rx, but the pills were pricey from the vet office. My Sheltie will be on these pills, 2 x daily, for the rest of her hopefully long life. So it was wonderful to find better pricing and auto ship abilities at Chewy. My Sheltie is enjoying life--and her walks--again. Thanks, Chewy!

Picked up Script from Vet on Wednesday the 30th (Vet will not do scripts over the phone).Ordered the med on Thursday Oct. 1st. Went to the post office on same day and expressed mailed the script and Chewy's received it Saturday morning (confirmed). Called twice during the week and heard excuses like we had a fire in our Arizona(?) pharmacy, etc. Finally, shipped on Friday the 9th and we received it Sunday afternoon. No 1-3 days shipping as promised after they received the script. We only had a limited supply of this pain medication from Vet (10 days) which we thought would be enough. It was not! Our first time using Chewy's for RX. Not sure we will do it again.

These pills have given my 16-year-old pup new life. His arthritis had gotten so bad that he was hobbling and stumbling and I had to lift him up by his harness on our walks. The vet recommended Rimadyl, so I gave these generics a try and within a few days my pup was able to get around unassisted. We can take 1/2 mile walks now and some days he even runs around like a puppy again. The pills are easy to split in half by hand and they must taste good because my dog eats them like treats.

Since the second day my Vet recommended this medicine for my 8 year old Boxer it was like he was a 3 year old again! He had apparently been hampered with soreness in his joints and I didn't realize it. This med worked wonders and I highly recommend. PROBLEM is with ordering process. You cannot have your Vet send in a prescription.. You must opbtain a written prescription and then mail in and wait for processing. This whole process can take up to 2 weeks, so if you are running low, know it is going to take time and order accordingly.

My dog’s current dose is half a pill twice a day. Even though the medication is scored, it does not break in half if you try and use your hands. The pill crumbles into dust no matter how you cut it— knives and all types of pill cutters (and believe me, we tried many pill cutters...) are ineffective. In the future, it would be great if Chewy offered to cut the pills for us and/or provide the pills in smaller doses. The pharmacist was absolutely no help when I called for advice.
