Lifetime medication
By jules on Sep 21, 2020
My dog has SLO(systemic lupiod onchodystrophy). This medication is keeping her in remission. I was getting it at a local pharmacy for $36 a month until Goodrx stopped covering pet meds. Without the prescription plan it was over $200! I am glad someone mentioned to try Chewy. I can continue her medications and not worry about how I will pay for them. The capsuls are easy to pop open and mix into her food. No hassle of trying to get her to take them!

A necessary purchase.
By Rick on Jul 22, 2020
This was a necessary purchase in order to treat lyme disease in my fur buddy. The purchase was easy, and the price was exceptional. The drug seems to be killing the bacteria associated with Lyme Disease. Thank you Chewy!

Hard to administer
By Jayce on Oct 2, 2019
I'm a pro at administering pills to dogs and these tabs are difficult to administer. They are small and stick to my hands, especially if they get wet. I'm considering switching to the capsules.

Doxycycline
By Kitster on Feb 23, 2019
Our dog was accustomed to the tablets and these capsules are a little tricky to administer as I had been hiding it in peanut butter
