Product Overview

METACAM® (meloxicam oral suspension) is a veterinary prescription non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps control pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs 6 months and older. METACAM is FDA-approved to help dogs who suffer from a degenerative and inflammatory joint condition.

NSAIDs, such as METACAM, improve your dog’s overall mobility by relieving joint pain and inflammation. Similar to human osteoarthritis (OA), canine OA is a condition in which one or more joints become inflamed and painful and may even be swollen.

The most common risk factors contributing to the development of OA include increasing age (especially geriatric dogs) and obesity. Other risk factors include:

  • Early nutrition and growth rates
  • Levels of exercise
  • Developmental diseases like hip dysplasia
  • Physical trauma or injury e.g., torn cruciate ligament
  • Breed predisposition, particularly larger-sized dogs

If your dog has OA, they may exhibit signs including:

  • Limping or lameness
  • Reluctance to run or climb stairs
  • Stiffness or decreased movement of joints

METACAM comes in a liquid formulation, so it’s easy for you to administer the precise effective dose possible recommended by your veterinarian using the syringe that is provided in the box. Ask your veterinarian about METACAM for dogs living with OA pain to help them find relief and get them back to doing the things they love.

METACAM® (meloxicam oral suspension) is a veterinary prescription non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps control pain and inflammation due to osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs 6 months and older.
Metacam is intended for use in dogs six month of age or older.
  • Provides once daily dosing, METACAM provides relief to dogs suffering from pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.
  • Oral suspension comes with a graduated syringe, with weight measurements, that allows for the correct amount of medication to be easily and accurately dispensed.
  • Palatable formulation that can be applied directly on the dog’s food
  • Can be titrated down to the lowest effective dose
  • Safe to use in dogs over the age of 6 months.
Metacam works by reducing the hormones in a dog's body that can lead to inflammation and pain from arthritis due to age.
METACAM® (meloxicam oral suspension) is for oral use in dogs only. Repeated use of meloxicam in cats has been associated with acute renal failure and death. Do not administer oral meloxicam to cats. See Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions for detailed information. As a class, cyclo-oxygenase inhibitory NSAIDs may be associated with gastrointestinal, renal and hepatic toxicity. The most common side effects are vomiting and soft stool or diarrhea. These are usually mild and affect primarily the gastrointestinal system, but more serious side effects can occur. Therefore, NSAIDs should only be administered under the direction of a licensed professional. If you notice side effects in your dog during treatment, stop the drug and call your veterinarian. Dogs should be evaluated for pre-existing conditions and currently prescribed medications prior to treatment with METACAM, then monitored regularly while on therapy. Concurrent use with another NSAID, corticosteroid, or nephrotoxic medication should be avoided or monitored closely. Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of reach of children. Consult a physician in case of accidental ingestion by humans. Dogs with known hypersensitivity to meloxicam should not receive METACAM Oral Suspension. Please refer to the full prescribing information.
Meloxicam
Contact your closest emergency pet hospital.
The safe use of METACAM® (meloxicam oral suspension) in dogs younger than 6 months of age, dogs used for breeding, or in pregnant or lactating dogs has not been evaluated. With your veterinarian, carefully consider the potential benefits and risk of METACAM and other treatment options before deciding to use METACAM. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual response. Warnings: Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of reach of children. Consult a physician in case of accidental ingestion by humans. For oral use in dogs only. Contraindication: Dogs with known hypersensitivity to meloxicam should not receive METACAM® (meloxicam oral suspension). Do not use METACAM Oral Suspension in cats. Acute renal failure and death have been associated with the use of meloxicam in cats.
Sold by the bottle in 10 ml, 32 ml, 100 ml, or 180 ml in strength of 1.5 mg/ml
Boehringer Ingelheim
Although arthritis cannot be cured, its symptoms can be treated and reduced. A combination of exercise, healthy diet, proper weight, joint care supplements, and an NSAID like Metacam can improve your dog's quality of life.

Your veterinarian will carefully consider the potential benefits and risk of METACAM® (meloxicam oral suspension) and other treatment options before deciding to use METACAM. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual response. METACAM should be administered initially at 0.09 mg/lb. (0.2 mg/kg) body weight only on the first day of treatment. For all treatments after day 1, METACAM should be administered once daily at a dose of 0.045 mg/lb. (0.1 mg/kg). The syringe is calibrated to deliver the daily oral maintenance dose in pounds. Please note: Using the weight of your dog, and noting the dose concentration of the METACAM, use the full prescribing information to determine how to draw up the dose (syringe or dropper) and administer the dose (directly into the mouth or mixed in with the food).

Marsha R Verified Purchase

Allivet is a godsend! My boy, Pipkin, went through GI stasis (can be fatal to rabbits) back in December. After weeks of vet visits & lots of $$, we found out the poor boy had chronic back pain. Was placed on Metacam back in December. It was only supposed to be temporary, but he acts so much better on the med. He's just a 7 pound bunny but is on 1 ml/day. So we go through the 10 ml bottle fast! Our vet's price is more than double the price of Allivet! So it's a lifesaver! And the next day delivery was a cherry on top! Thank you, Allivet! Pipkin thanks you too.

They contact your vet for you- if that is your wish. Their prices are great. This med, when purchased from my vet, is $220. Purchased on sale at Allivet for $130. BIG DIFFERENCE!. I will continue to use Allivet for my future purchases!!!!! Thank You Allivet!

Maggie L Verified Purchase
May 4, 2018

I bought this Metacam for my dog because she'll be 13 and she is having trouble with her joints. If I don't give it to her every day, I notice she struggles to get up. If it is really cold out, just like us, the weather is hard on her. She'd really be suffering without Metacam. It is expensive but in the end, I'll pay it because it definitely works!
