I needed the chewable ones because I have arthritis and it is difficult to cut, and grind down these. They would have cost a small fortune. These are more difficult to cut in half with a cutter even so will try to find another source.

Muscle relaxer
By Marti on Jul 30, 2019
Our vet put our 11 yr dachshund on this (along with pain relievers) and it seems to work very well for helping with her back pain. I would suggest this medication to anyone who's dog is having issues with joint/muscle/back pain. It works.

Very helpful for arthritis
By Angel on Mar 7, 2019
My dog has arthritis from an old spinal injury, and combined with her other meds, a low dosage of methocarbamol has been really helpful for her comfort and mobility.

BEST bang for your $$
By WASPwarrior on Oct 14, 2018 Top 1000 Contributor
This stuff works just as well as the expensive stuff I have been getting at the vet for almost 4 x less! Same drug just Generic. I figure if the generic drugs are ok for humans (I get them all the time) they are OK for our pets and our wallets! You do need a pill splitter if your gonna half them. Tough shell. But that is the ONLY downside I can think of with this medication that is critical in my dog Rocky's arthritis regime. TY Chewy.com!
