As a new customer, I'm thrilled with chewy!
My vet ordered these tablets in 1 g size, requiring that I cut them in half since the dosage was 1500 mg per day. They were like concrete blocks; it was impossible to split without causing crumbling and toxic dust. Discouraged, I checked chewy.com and found the same med in 500 mg tablets. Perfect! But now the problem was, how to disguise three tablets given three times a day? I tried peanut butter, Liverwurst, Cheese. Awkward and sometimes refused. Then a friend suggested your pill pockets. Wow!! They are flexible enough to completely disguise the tablet and they're irresistible for my dog.! What's more, the package arrived in three days! Now I am a forever fan of chewy and will be re-ordering those pockets in quantity!
Excellent product
I’d like to thank all the chewy staff for making all my purchases and delivery a great positive experience !!
Wear gloves
Lilly was very sick with staph infection. She has had 3 surgeries on her left leg since Nov 2018. After a successful Cancer removal/surgery on her leg, it was discovered almost a year later a staple was left in her leg. She had to have the surgery again to find it. After much resting, cleaning her leg she was fine Fall 2020. Post 3rd surgery all the medication and antibiotics this staph began to eat her skin around her ears and blood test showed her liver count is high from all her previous medications. This medication has healed her raw areas, the bleeding has stopped. This medication MUST be given every 8 hours, I use peanut butter and you must wear gloves when you handle this. No upset stomach or loose stools. I hope this medication helps heal her, as she is 9. The only draw back to this medication is her back legs are weak and she sleeps quite a lot. .
Rx worked great
Worked great to clear a really nasty infection on my dogs feet. Chewy and their customer service always does a great job.
Not tolerated
For my pup, this did not work as he did not tolerate it well.
Great pharmacy option!
Great option to get reliable meds online. About 60% cheaper than human pharmacy. Chewy representative was super helpful as this med comes in tablet instead of pill and there was a concern about dosage. Shipping was quick too. Very pleased and would use them again!
Great medication just not fast service
The medication was great I was disappointed with the prescription service.
Huge cost savings through Chewy.com!
One of our dogs has had to take the antibiotic,chloramphenicol before and as he weighs 85 pounds that means 12 tablets a day for 14 days. Buying this antibiotic from our vet cost twice as much as it did from Chewy.com. The medication was delivered in 48 hours to our door. Thank you Chewy.com!
Awsome products
