Rimadyl Chewable Tablets for Dogs
Prescription Item
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Canine osteoarthritis (OA) is both a common and chronic condition that many dogs are diagnosed with. Rimadyl is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory prescription medication (NSAID) used to help relieve the pain and inflammation associated with OA, joint abnormalities, and can also help relieve pain from surgery. Over 26 million dogs have been treated with Rimadyl, making it one of the most trusted NSAID prescribed by vets. By giving your dog one or two tasty, liver-flavored chewable tablets a day, you can help manage his pain and inflammation, so he can stay active and continue his daily dog duties.
UsesRimadyl is indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and for the control of postoperative pain associated with soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries in dogs.
Possible Side EffectsContact your veterinarian if your pet is experiencing bloody, black or tarry stools as this could be an indication of a more serious problem.
Drug & Food InteractionsIf your pet is being given aspirin or another NSAID or any an over-the-counter cough, allergy, or pain medication, or any steroid drug, be sure to discuss the possible interactions with your veterinarian. Other drugs not listed may also cause reactions. Discuss all prescribed and over-the-counter medications your pet is taking with your vet.
Precautions
Before taking Rimadyl, discuss with your veterinarian if your pet has an allergy to aspirin, any other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), or is lactating or pregnant. Your veterinarian should also be notified if your dog has an ulcer or bleeding in the stomach, liver or kidney disease, congestive heart failure, fluid retention, bleeding disorders, heart disease, or high blood pressure.
Also available in caplets.

What Is Rimadyl?
Rimadyl is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) approved by the FDA for once- or twice-daily dosing to relieve the pain and inflammation in the joints of dogs with arthritis.
Did You Know?
- 20% of dogs over 1 year of age in the United States are believed to be suffering from osteoarthritis. However, many dogs with this disease remain undiagnosed and never get the treatment they need.
- Human arthritis medications like aspirin can be toxic to your dog. Dogs should not be given aspirin because it can potentially harm joint cartilage and the structure of healthy joints. Aspirin can also cause gastrointestinal (GI) and kidney problems.
- Osteoarthritis can be treated but cannot be cured — that’s why it’s important for you to continue to treat your dog’s arthritis even if he or she seems better. As the disease progresses, there can be additional destruction of cartilage and damage to other parts of the joint, as well as production of extra bone around the joint.
- Long-term treatment provides continuous improvement in your dog’s arthritis pain and mobility, allowing your dog to continue participating in and enjoying the family activities you love to do together.

Great product
By GregM on May 21, 2021
I have used Rimadyl with 3 of our dogs, over the past years. Great product. Allows them more freedom of movement and more limber and more easily active. Recommend this medication highly and I will continue to use it for our ageing pets. It makes there lives much more comfortable.

Rx medicine.
By Lesliek on Mar 26, 2021
Rimadyl was prescribed to my little chihuahua for his joints pain, inflammation. I just started giving him the pill. It is still to soon to tell but it looks like its helping. My dog has joints problems but from the moment he started taking the pill, he walks better, doesn't limp, he is more energetic. In overall it looks like this med works.

My dog hated them and when I could get them in him it didn't work ner as well as his Meloxicam liquid. And, it was more expensive. I have to call it a fail.

Prescription orders
By Terry on Apr 20, 2021
I’m very pleased with the Chewy pharmacy. They make it easy to place an order and will contact the vets office for you . And the price is much more reasonable than what I can get the medication anywhere else.

My dog loves Rimadyl
By teddybearkat on Feb 18, 2021
Thank you, Chewy, for bringing Rimadyl back to my pup. She always has enjoyed taking this medication. When her vet went to generic Carpro, taking her pill became a free for all. She didn't like the taste (and due to an unfortunate accident), I can understand why! It's priced better than her vet (when it was carried) and the auto fill is Heaven sent for me. Thank you again.

Hard to get connected with pharmacy
By Holding on Mar 22, 2021
The medications and prices are excellent. But trying to get through the pharmacy to ask question is difficult. They want to know exactly what you want to know instead of connecting you straight through .

Treatment for aging dogs.
By Sandy on Feb 23, 2021
With arthitis and no exercise especially during the winter we experienced here in NW Indiana, Sandy had problems with her still and sore muscles. I gave this medicine and she is back to her old self again running and jumping. If you keep your dogs exercised, they will be healthy.
