Buy Rimadyl Online from Licensed Canadian Pharmacies

Rimadyl, also known by its generic name carprofen, is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in dogs to relieve pain and inflammation from osteoarthritis and to manage post-surgical discomfort. Its active ingredient, carprofen, selectively inhibits COX-2 enzymes, helping reduce inflammatory prostaglandins while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects. Available in chewable tablets or caplets, Rimadyl is administered orally and is typically well-tolerated. It should not be used in dogs with known hypersensitivity to NSAIDs or in those with certain pre-existing conditions. Regular veterinary monitoring is recommended during treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness. You can order Rimadyl online from reputable pharmacies to ensure its authenticity and effectiveness.

Usage Guide

Usage Guide

Read the product instructions carefully and use it exactly as instructed by your veterinarian.

  • Typically, dogs will readily consume Rimadyl tablets when offered as a treat because it has a good taste.
  • You can also hide it in food, use a pill pocket, or gently keep it at the back of the tongue and encourage swallowing.
  • Always give Rimadyl with a snack or meal to lessen the risk of stomach upset in your pet.
  • Do not administer it with other NSAIDs.
How It Works

How It Works

Rimadyl works by blocking the COX-2 enzyme, which helps reduce swelling and discomfort, while sparing COX-1 to protect the stomach lining. Rimadyl acts quickly, often within hours, and can improve mobility over time. Though generally considered to be safe, it may cause side effects like vomiting or liver issues, so regular vet checkups are essential during long-term use.

Warnings

Warnings

Pet owners should be aware of the following important warnings when administering Rimadyl for pain and inflammation in dogs. Key points of the warnings include:

  • Contraindications: Rimadyl is contraindicated for use in dogs with a known hypersensitivity to carprofen, bleeding disorders (e.g., von Willebrand’s disease), or if they are using other anti-inflammatory drugs (such as corticosteroids or other NSAIDs).
  • Do not Use in Cats: This canine pain medication is not recommended for use in cats because cats metabolize medications differently than dogs. This can cause an accumulation of the drug in their system, increasing the risk of toxicity.
  • Gastrointestinal Issues: Rimadyl can increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, like reduced appetite, vomiting, and melena, due to its inhibitory effect on prostaglandins, which help maintain the stomach lining. Dogs receiving Rimadyl should be closely monitored for these symptoms.
  • Liver Damage: Although rare, Rimadyl has been linked to liver toxicity, especially in long-term use. Liver function should be monitored, particularly in dogs with liver disease or those on prolonged therapy.
Safety Guide

Safety Guide

There are certain precautions that people should consider before using Rimadyl for dogs.

  • Use With Caution: Rimadyl should be used cautiously in dehydrated dogs, those on diuretics, or those in the perioperative period.
  • Medical Examinations: Pre-treatment laboratory tests and physical examinations are recommended for all dogs prior to initiating NSAID therapy.Use in Puppies: The safety of Rimadyl has not been established for puppies under 6 weeks of age, pregnant dogs, lactating bitches, or those used for breeding purposes.
  • Pregnant or Lactating Dogs: The safety and effectiveness of this vet-approved dog pain reliever have not been established in pregnant or lactating dogs. Its use should be avoided in dogs that are planning to breed unless prescribed by a veterinarian who weighs the risks and benefits.
Missed Dose

Missed Dose

If your dog misses a dose of Rimadyl, give it as soon as possible, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. For once-daily dosing, administer the medication if less than 12 hours have passed; otherwise, skip the dose and resume the schedule. For twice-daily dosing, if 6-8 hours have passed since the last dose, wait for the next scheduled dose. Always follow your veterinarian’s guidance for specific situations.

Overdose

Overdose

An overdose of Rimadyl is a severe emergency requiring immediate veterinary attention. Its signs and symptoms include diarrhea, severe vomiting, stomach pain, or very low energy. Do not wait to see if your dog’s symptoms get better. Call your veterinary clinic immediately if you think your dog may have consumed Rimadyl more than the prescribed dose.

Storage Guide

Storage Guide

To ensure the medication you are using for your dog remains potent and safe, follow proper storage and handling instructions. For Rimadyl, consider the following:

  • Store Rimadyl at a controlled room temperature between 59°F & 86°F (15°C-30°C).
  • Store Rimadyl in a locked cabinet or high shelf out of reach of dogs, as they may overdose if they find the chewables.
  • Keep Rimadyl in its original container in a dry place, away from humidity or sunlight.
