Request prescription assistance →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in dogs to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, soft-tissue surgery, and orthopedic procedures. It is one of the most prescribed canine NSAIDs in the United States and is sold under several brand names — Rimadyl, Carprovet, Carprieve, Novox — all of which are pharmaceutically equivalent generic versions of the same active ingredient. Carprofen works by selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme that drives pain and swelling, while sparing much of the COX-1 activity that protects the stomach lining and kidneys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat carprofen is used for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeterinarians prescribe carprofen for dogs with osteoarthritis (the slow, stiff getting up after a nap; reluctance on stairs; lameness after exercise), for control of post-surgical pain after spays, neuters, dental cleanings, mass removals, and orthopedic procedures, and for short-term relief of acute injuries and soft-tissue inflammation. The chewable beef-flavored tablets make it one of the easiest pain medications to administer, and the medication typically begins working within 1–2 hours of dosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarprofen is for dogs only — it is not approved for cats, who lack the enzyme needed to metabolize it safely. Give with food to reduce GI upset. Common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite; serious but rare effects include GI ulceration, kidney injury, and idiosyncratic liver reactions — call your veterinarian immediately if your dog stops eating, vomits repeatedly, develops black or tarry stool, or becomes jaundiced. Baseline bloodwork is recommended before starting long-term carprofen, with periodic rechecks every 6 months. Never combine carprofen with another NSAID or with corticosteroids (prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone) — the combination dramatically raises the risk of stomach ulcers and kidney damage. Use cautiously in dogs with kidney, liver, or bleeding disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmarty Vets dispenses both brand-name (Rimadyl) and generic (Carprovet, Carprieve, Novox) carprofen with a valid veterinary prescription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick \u003cstrong\u003eBuy on VetCove\u003c\/strong\u003e to order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bayer","offers":[{"title":"25mg \/ 30 tablets","offer_id":51853089439975,"sku":"85047833","price":36.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25mg \/ 90 tablets","offer_id":51855036121319,"sku":"85047884","price":84.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25mg \/ 120 tablets","offer_id":51855036154087,"sku":"vc-1791-3934-16441","price":107.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"75mg \/ 30 tablets","offer_id":51855036186855,"sku":"85047892","price":41.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"75mg \/ 90 tablets","offer_id":51855036219623,"sku":"85047906","price":102.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"75mg \/ 120 tablets","offer_id":51855036252391,"sku":"28090538BO","price":131.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100mg \/ 30 tablets","offer_id":51855036285159,"sku":"85047914","price":49.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100mg \/ 90 tablets","offer_id":51855036317927,"sku":"85047922","price":122.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100mg \/ 120 tablets","offer_id":51855036350695,"sku":"28090546BO","price":156.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4387\/8119\/files\/101462-239.webp?v=1774103784","url":"https:\/\/www.smartyvets.com\/products\/quellin-carprofen-soft-chewable-tablets","provider":"Smarty Vets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
