Product Details
Rimadyl for dogs – Pack of 100
Rimadyl tablets for dogs are a prescription-only anti-inflammatory medication for dogs, made by Zoetis. The active ingredient is carprofen, an NSAID.
After surgery, your vet may give a Rimadyl injection first, then switch your dog to tablets at home. If your dog is on it long term, keep up with vet check-ups.
Strengths
Rimadyl Palatable Tablets come in 20mg, 50mg and 100mg.
Keep the pot shut and up high, because a dog that eats a lot of them can become seriously ill.
Warnings
- Not recommended for pregnant bitches.
- Don’t give Rimadyl if your dog has heart, liver or kidney disease, a stomach ulcer or bleeding, or a blood disorder.
- Do not give with other NSAIDs, or within 24 hours of one.
- Never give to cats.
- As with all NSAIDs, there is a rare risk of side effects affecting the kidneys or liver.
- If you suspect your dog has taken more than the prescribed dose, contact your vet.
If you notice any side effects, stop treatment and contact your vet. Read the datasheet for full warnings.
We can only dispatch this item once our vet has checked and approved your vet’s written prescription.
