Carprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with the same active ingredient as Rimadyl, and it works by preferentially inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme that drives pain and swelling. The chewable form is designed for easier dosing and comes in 25 mg, 75 mg, and 100 mg strengths, from single tablets to 180-count bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive ingredient:\u003c\/strong\u003e carprofen 25 mg, 75 mg, or 100 mg per chewable tablet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e dogs only — carprofen is not approved for cats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrug class:\u003c\/strong\u003e non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e single tablets and 30-, 60-, and 180-count bottles in each strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e palatable chewable tablet, given by mouth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e osteoarthritis pain and inflammation; postoperative pain after soft-tissue and orthopedic procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrescription status:\u003c\/strong\u003e requires authorization from your veterinarian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FDA-approved label dose of carprofen for dogs is 2 mg\/lb (4.4 mg\/kg) of body weight per day, given once daily or divided into two doses of 1 mg\/lb. Your prescribing veterinarian sets the exact dose and duration for your dog. Give with food to reduce the chance of stomach upset, and never give more than prescribed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarprofen is for dogs only; never give it to cats. The most common side effects are vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Stop the medication and call your veterinarian if your dog stops eating, vomits repeatedly, passes black or tarry stool, or shows yellowing of the gums or eyes. Do not combine carprofen with other NSAIDs (such as meloxicam, Galliprant, or aspirin) or with corticosteroids such as prednisone. Baseline bloodwork before starting and periodic monitoring during long-term use are recommended. Because chewables are palatable, store them securely out of your dog's reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Carprovet the same as Rimadyl?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Carprovet is a generic carprofen product with the same active ingredient and strengths as brand-name Rimadyl, typically at a lower price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between Carprovet chewable tablets and caplets?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth contain the same carprofen strengths and work identically.
