Powerful pain relievers for dogs

Rimadyl (Carprofen) 100 mg, 180 Caplets is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prescribed to treat pain and inflammation in dogs. In fact, Rimadyl is the number one brand of NSAID for dogs. It can be used to relieve arthritis pain, pain caused by hip or elbow dysplasia, or to control pain after some surgical procedures.

Rimadyl 100 mg Caplets work by inhibiting COX-2, an enzyme that triggers inflammation. Just give your pet the prescribed dose, and Rimadyl works for 24 hours to help keep your dog pain free. Unlike ibuprofen, which can be dangerous for dogs, Rimadyl is FDA-approved for canine pain relief. Help your arthritic dog stay mobile, active, and healthy with Rimadyl 100 mg, 180 Caplets. However, if your dog does not readily accept the caplets, liver-flavored chewable tablets of Rimadyl are also available.

Pros:

Works really well even at low doses.

Cons:

Not sure how safe it is taken all the time for years, but it is better than chronic pain.

Rimadyl for dogs works great on my two babies. My older dog has osteoarthritis and takes it all the time. My younger dog took it following a procedure to fix his hip about six months ago.
