Frequently asked questions

What is Metacam oral suspension used for?
Metacam 1.5mg/ml oral suspension is used for the relief of pain and inflammation in dogs. It may be prescribed for long-term joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis, and for short-term pain management associated with injury or after surgery.
How do I measure the correct dose?
Metacam is supplied with a measuring syringe that dispenses a dose based on body weight. The syringe markings are in kilograms (kg), not millilitres. Draw the suspension up to the marking that matches your dog’s weight.
Does Metacam oral suspension need refrigeration?
No. Store Metacam oral suspension below 25°C. Once opened, the product should be used within 6 months. Discard any unused suspension after this time.
Should Metacam be given with food?
Yes. Metacam oral suspension should be given with food or immediately after feeding to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. The suspension may be mixed with a small amount of food if needed.
How long does Metacam take to work?
Pain relief usually begins within 1–2 hours after dosing. For chronic conditions, improvements in comfort and mobility are often observed within a few days of initiating treatment.
Can the dog formulation be used in cats?
No. Metacam 1.5mg/ml (dog strength) must not be given to cats. Cats require a lower-strength formulation. Use in cats can result in serious adverse effects.
What should I do if my dog shows side effects?
If vomiting, diarrhoea, or unusual lethargy occurs, stop treatment immediately and seek veterinary advice. These may indicate gastrointestinal irritation.

Do I need a prescription to buy POM-V pet medicines online?

Yes. POM-V items require a valid prescription from your UK vet.

 Upload your prescription during checkout. 

Photos must be clear. If details are wrong or expired, orders can’t be processed. This is standard across UK pet pharmacies.

No. Under UK law, vets must provide a written prescription if you request one for a POM-V medicine. They may charge a reasonable fee for issuing it, but they cannot refuse. This allows you to choose where to buy your pet’s medication, whether directly from your vet or from a registered UK pharmacy such as Ashcroft 4 Pets.

In the UK, most POM-V prescriptions are valid for 6 months, unless your vet specifies a shorter duration. Prescriptions for Schedule 2 or 3 controlled medicines are usually valid for 28 days and are not repeatable. At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we follow these same UK veterinary guidelines to ensure your pet’s medication is dispensed safely and legally.

At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we are a fully VMD-registered and accredited online retailer. This means every prescription and over-the-counter pet medicine we supply is safe, genuine, and dispensed according to UK law.

We follow all Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) rules, and our team checks every prescription carefully before processing. You can order with confidence, knowing your pet’s health is in the hands of experts and all medicines are traceable, legally supplied, and authentic.

In the UK, most repeat prescriptions for POM-V medicines are valid for up to 6 months from the date your vet issues them. You can order multiple times within this period if your vet has authorised repeats.

For controlled medicines (Schedule 2 or 3), the prescription is valid for 28 days only and cannot be repeated. These medicines are strictly regulated due to their potential for misuse.

At Ashcroft 4 Pets, we follow UK law carefully, ensuring all prescriptions are dispensed safely, legally, and in the exact amounts prescribed.

 If your vet prescribes a human medicine for your pet under the Cascade, we can usually dispense against that prescription (with the right checks).
