Veterinarians may prescribe Rimadyl (Carprofen) Chewables to dogs over the age of 6 weeks old. Rimadyl is an NSAID formulated to control joint pain and inflammation caused by osteoarthritis, arthritis, hip dysplasia or surgery. It's safe for long-term use and delivers increased energy and comfort levels within just 2 weeks of starting treatment. Rimadyl is available by prescription only and comes in a chewable, pork-liver flavored tablet form to be administered to your dog orally.How it Works
Like other NSAID medications, carprofen's means of action is thought to inhibit activity of cyclooxygenase.
Special Precautions
Not safe for use in cats.
Do not use Rimadyl in dogs who have shown prior carprofen hypersensitivity.
Overdose Information
In case of overdose, contact your closest emergency animal hospital.

The recommended dosage for oral administration to dogs is 2 mg/lb. of body weight daily. The total daily dose may be administered as 2 mg/lb. of body weight once daily or divided and administered as 1 mg/lb. twice daily. For the control of postoperative pain, administer approximately 2 hours before the procedure. Rimadyl chewable tablets are scored and dosage should be calculated in half-tablet increments. Tablets can be halved by placing the tablet on a hard surface and pressing down on both sides of the score. Rimadyl chewable tablets are palatable and willingly consumed by most dogs when offered by the owner. Therefore, they may be fed by hand or placed on food. Care should be taken to ensure that the dog consumes the complete dose.
