Levetiracetam is an add-on, oral medication that is indicated for the management of refractory epilepsy.
All seizure control medications have potential to cause drowsiness. Some cats lose their appetites temporarily when beginning levetiracetam.
Levetiracetam should not be used in animals who have previously exhibited hypersensitivity to it or any of its components. It should be used with caution in pets with renal impairment; dosing amounts or dosing frequency changes should be considered.
This medication has been shown to cause increased fetal and embryonal losses, and should only be used in pregnant animals when benefits outweigh risks. Pets with decreased kidney function should use this medication with caution. When discontinuing the use of this medication, gradual withdrawal is recommended to help prevent the likelihood of seizure-withdrawals.
This drug is FDA-approved for human use. However, it is common practice for veterinarians to prescribe such drugs for use in dogs and cats.

Apparently it's getting harder and harder to get a discount on pet meds from pharmacies. We had received nothing but grief and run-around and end up paying full price for our dog's seizure medication, which is astronomical. Checked Chewy Pharmacy. We've been Chewy customers for many years and many dogs and have never been disappointed. We were concerned about shipping, and getting the prescription, but as always, Chewy came through and saved the day. They contacted our dog's neurologist and within 3 days were sending her prescription. Arrived when expected and as exactly as ordered. The best part... saving us hundreds of dollars. Words cannot express the appreciation for Chewy through the years. Watching your dog have a seizure is the worst, most helpless feeling in the world. Knowing Chewy will keep her stocked up so that doesn't happen again... priceless. Thank you Chewy Pharmacy!
Very happy with this medicine for my dog Bandit that has seizures and the price is right also.
I have a 120 pound 3 1/4 year old Swissy. She began with seizures on Thanksgiving 2022. She was having 1 seizure per month. She is on Pheno and have now added 1000mg every 8 hours and hasn’t had a seizure in 7 weeks. Seeing any dog have a seizure is heartbreaking. My girl takes more than 2 hours to come out of it completely. I can’t lift her so stopping the seizures were very important. Chewy is quick with delivery and the pricing and dosage is a great savings.
Maybe google this stuff before giving it to your dog esp if you have a giant dog ( mine is 113 lbs ) he only had 1 seizure but bc of his size ( my vet knew I couldn’t lift him alone ) she prescribed it to prevent them . The second night he stood up and vomited this was hours after he ate so it was nothing else new just this medicine. I read this caused personality changes in humans including aggression ( Keppra )he was already walking unsteadily! I just thought it felt too weird . He obviously didn’t like the drug or he wasn’t tolerating it . Keep in mind I’m not talking as a vet or about a dog that has a diagnosed seizure disorder or epilepsy. I’m sure in those cases you def need medication, even if it has side effects . We never found the cause of his one seizure , and this dog is highly allergic to stuff , he’s reacted to his annual shots once ( 2 yr old he broke out in whelps down only 1 side of his body ! We stopped ths lepto part of his shots and it’s never happened again . ) I wasn’t sure it wasn’t his new HP allergy dog food that caused this seizure but it was SO SCARY ! I’ve never felt so OOC as I did watching this seizure as I could do nothing to stop it ! Thank God he’s not had any other seizures but at age 8 he’s getting arthritics etc .
Chewy had the best price and the order was approved and in our home within days!
The product helped my dog reduce her seizures significantly! My dog used to get them three times a week, but now it is once every FOUR weeks. The product works, but the increase in price is ridiculous. I paid $60 for three, now the restock almost cost me $150 for three bottles.
Good price but found it cheaper on another website
Its help my chihuahua he haven’t had seizures since 2017
See below the remark. Would not recommend ordering medication from Chewy
Very happy with the quality. We were short and our pharmacy dispensed the same as Chewy.
