Owners should be advised of the importance of periodic follow up for all dogs during administration of any NSAID.

My dog has had a partially torn ACL and has pain in all her joints making her walk stiffly especially after activity. Rimadyl really helps her get around better, but it makes her a bit sick to her stomache. It helps alot when I give it to her after she eats instead of on an empty stomache.

I have been purchasing these from my dog's vet for $65 per 60ct. What is the incentive for purchasing from Allivet and having to wait? i thought there would be some reason for purchasing over the Internet.

11yr old Husky could no longer stand up & fell down a lot due to his back legs (torn ACL, Arthritis, & severe internal rotation). 2weeks later, he's 5 years younger. Still falls down on tile when another dog bumps into him, BUT he now just pops back up & walks no problem. I give w/ his food so no stomach side effects. Bless my vet & this medication!!!

My dog had extreme pain and inflammation trying to have a bowel movement due to anal gland infection. She has been on the medication for 3 days now and the pain and inflammtion has reduced and she is more comfortable tho still has to complete the medication for full effect.

I have an older dog who within a few days became extremely lethargic and skittish. She would hardly leave her crate even to urinate. She urinated in the house 3 times in 2 days and then urinated in her crate - something she has NEVER done.
