Chelsea
Rimadyl was prescribed for Chelsea to relieve the pain she was suffereing from because of arthritis and joint and hip problems. I was happy to give it to her 2X a day to help her. She took it as if it was a piece of candy so she apparently liked it. That certainly helped matters. She was 15 on February 4th and she had to be euthanized on February 21st-thank you for having something to help her pain. She was the prettiest cocker spaniel ever! I miss her terribly!

I'm trying but it's not easy with the current economy.
My dogs are 12 and 10 years old, are not active and have arthiritis. As a single person on a budget, I have to work to make ends meet. I refuse to get a second job because it would take even more time away from being with them. I try to keep me expenses down. My vet charged me a 250% mark up for Rimadyl. Since then, I purchased my next order from PetcareRx. I questioned what other medication I could have gotten for a lot less. Now, I ask the vet what he will be prescribing and place my orders with PetcareRx. Thank you PetcareRX.

Saved my dog's life!
My 10 year old Lab Webster has bad hips and elbows. At 3 years old my vet told me he would need every joint replaced and would spend years having surgery after surgery and pretty much spending all his time in pain and in recovery. We decided to not do the surgery and put him on Rimadyl twice a day instead. My vet said I would be lucky to have him for 2 more years that it would only be a temporary relief in his pain. Now 7 years later my boy is still doing great!! It has cost a lot over the years, much less than it could have thanks to Petcare RX, but it has been so worth every cent! My Webster isn't going anywhere anytime soon!

Princess loves it, and so does her Pet Mom
My lab/dalamation mix will be 9 this year. She has arthritiis and has had ACL repairs. Rimadyl works! Not only did it help speed her through recovery, it keeps her acting like a puppy every day. I cut the 75mg tabs in half with a large pill cutter and she gets 1/2 pill everyday. She thinks its a treat, not medicine. I know she won't live forever, but I attribute her relatively pain free senior years to this great drug. If you have a dog who's breed is prone to joint problems (lab, dalmations, or any large - medium sporting dog) this drug is the best. Ask your vet to prescribe a dose that can be 1/2'd to save money. Its worth the price to have your pet-child back in shape and happy!

Chewables - consider this...
My vet prescribed 100 mg caplets and said to split them for morning and evening. The caplets can easily be cut or snapped in half. My dog will let me put a pill down his throat. I bought the chewables to make life easier when my mom cares for him. The chewables don't split well at all even though they are scored They break into uneven pieces.

These pills work!
My almost 14 year old Keeshund has always been too heavy & it has caught up with her. She's got arthritis in her hips & at one time we had to carry her back inside (no easy task!) since being on Rimadyl she is able to go up & down stairs all by herself. Apparently, she also likes the flavor, she eats them up, with no hassles.

Our old friend Duke.
Thank you for making it so convenient to receive Rimadyl for our labrador Duke. He has been a family member for 16 years and suffers from the lost of the use of his hind legs. Since we started giving him 2 tablets a day, he can manage to climb the stairs. We don't know how much longer we will have him, but at least we know that we are making him as comfortable as possible. Thanks again.

Saved my dog's life!
I have a 15 yr old 120 lb golden retriever that is the love of my life. Late last year he began to lose his ability to climb the stairs, and soon after I had to help him stand and encourage him to walk. As I couldn't carry him, I had started to prepare myself for what seemed to be inevitable. I took him to the vet for his annual and asked if anything could be done for him. He put him on Rimadyl - 2 100mg/day. It cost a fortune, but I figured it wouldn't be for long and I could afford it in the short term. Within 24 hrs he was going up the stairs!!! I was shocked, and immediately searched online for better prices. I found it here for less than half of what I was paying at the vet! So now, for what it (used to) cost me for my morning coffee, my old guy is no longer in pain and has regained much of his motion. In addition, it has steadily restored his confidence and general quality of life. It's as if the clock has turned back 5 years. I can't think of a better trade for a cup oof coffee!!!!!

It does work
My dalmatian has been on rimadyl since she was 5 years old. She had arthritis early in life since she had been so active. She will be 12 very soon and is still on rimadyl. She has had surgery for torn ligaments in both her back legs, so has a hard time getting up and down and using stairs, althought she can still run outside as good as ever. I can tell the difference when she takes the rimadyl. She still has difficulty getting up and down, but I think it is mostly her leg surgery and the rimadyl has really helped with the arthritis.,

I can tell it works
My dog likes the tast of the chewable Rimadyl, and I know when I forget to give my dog her chewable rimadyl because she doesn't come out from under the table. It at least keeps her from getting worse. With an knee injury and old age setting in, my dog doesn't like to move around too much, but with this medication she doesn't mind having to get up.

My nearly 15 year old Standard Poodle is almost new again!
My wonderful, irreplaceable Priscilla began to limp and show stiffness about six months ago, especially when getting up and starting to walk. She developed a tremor, became extremely withdrawn, wouldn't play, her tail was always tucked. She acted senile. Could no longer manage the simple step-down into our family room. Her appetite was off. She looked sad. I really thought it was the beginning of the end. One week on Rimadyl and she's a new dog! Playful, sociable again, prancing, eating, managing the stairs, wagging her tail. She's been totally deaf for a year. Had not barked in a year. She's starting to hear sounds, follow commands and bark again. It's music to my ears! Can Rimadyl affect hearing?

Our 6yo dog, Rowdy, an 85lb Rottie/Shepard mix is haivng hip problems. We was barely able to make it up our steps, had difficulty getting up from laying down and had a very noticable limp. After being on Rimadyl for three weeks he is moving around the houe much better, limps less and is in much less pain. The Rimadyl really helped.

Thank God
My 15 year old german sheppard/rottwieller wouldn't be alive today without this medicine, I would have had to put him down. He still acts like a puppy, but this winter , his hips have really given out on him and he just collapses and can't get backup. Since taking this he is able to get around much better.
If anyone knows of any other medicines/remedies/exercises, that might help, feel free to email me at wdesantis@comcast.net

I saw a BIG difference after just 1 day!
My 8 yr old Rott mix has been having pain and stiffness for about a year to the point that she would whine when trying to get up. I took her to a new vet that had me give her Rimadyl chewables for a week. Woah! After just 1 day my dog was playing w/ the kids and getting up w/o any pain and her limp was gone. What a relief to the whole family, considering we were thinking we were going to have to put her to sleep soon because she was in so much pain. 2 days after we ran out of the sample bottle I could see her start limping and having a hard time getting up again. Of course, I could do nothing but let the vet know the Rimadyl worked great and we want to keep her on it. It is expensive, but she is worth it. Our dog takes good care of us, she deserves it.

I rated this with a 5 star. My 13 yr old Wolf/Huskey has been on 1 every day in the Summer, 2 every day in the winter. With less pain he uses his hind legs more, which increases his muscle tone. With daily exercise and Rimadyl Chinook is still a slim lively white wolf at over 13. yrs old.

Rimadyl for senior dogs
I have a Lab/boxer mix 9 years of age. My veterinarian recommended Rimadyl for her arthritis. She also has a bad liver. I read up on the medication and found... Rimadyl medication should not be used in any dog with kidney, liver, or heart disease. Do not give to dogs that are pregnant or nursing. Found information on...http://entirelypets.stores.yahoo.net/rimadyl2.html. If you have a senior dog you may want also read up on this web site http://www.srdogs.com/Pages/rimadyl.rec.html . I also found some negative information there. I quickly stopped giving my senior dog Rimadyl and switch back to Deramaxx. The reason for the switch in the first place was my veterinarian no longer offers Deramaxx in his office. I just have to order it through this web site with my vets approval. Which I had no problem. The service was great. Shipping was fast.

Reclaim your dog's quality of life
My dog, Theo will be 15 on April 1st. He is a Black Lab/Rottie mix and has been on RIMADYL for over 3 years. It has helped him reclaim an excellent quality of life! Without the RIMADYL, he would NOT be able to go up the stairs, or get up on his own to walk around and take care of his bodily functions.
Like humans, our senior pets may have the mind of a pup but their bodies break down as they age. Rimadyl can help your dog stay as young at heart for longer than usual....it is well worth the expense.*This is a prescription item

Keep your pet moving
My German Shephard is 12 years old, Rimadyl and SynoviG3 have been in her life for 4 years now. A regular vet prescribed the Rimadyl and a rehabilitation vet prescribed the SynoviG3. My Shephard use to lay in her urine due to pain and not wanting to move, her life is so much better. My vet told me she probably had 1 year left due to her bone and joint issues but that was 2 1/2 years ago, what do they know??? She still gives kisses, barks, skips (runs like a deer) she only occasionally needs help up the backdoor steps. The only reason for not giving 5 stars - this medicine does cause stomach upset for my dog and the price could be more reasonable.

Don't hesitate to give Rimadyl to your pet! Your pet will THANK you! Our 11 yr old, 87lb German Shep/Chow mix started having trouble with our steep stairs. He had been on Ascriptin for 6 months, and it no longer seemed to help. He'd stand at the bottom of the stairs and look up them. Our Vet put him on Rimadyl. In a matter of days, he was more active and the steps were easier. Rimadyl is a miracle worker! We will be moving in Aug. to a home with 4 acres and No STEPS! Chase will love it!

We have a large dog over 80 lbs who is 15 years old and is in good health with a great immune system, heart, lungs and liver, except for the stiffness in his legs. He has been on Rimadyl for one week and we can see the difference. This was amazing to us as before taking Rimadyl he would always just want to lay around. After being on Rimadly for just one week, he was able to go camping with us and be my husband's fishing buddy just like old times. What a difference a week makes.

It has helped 2 of my dogs, who have arthritis in their back legs, walk much better in a short period of time. It has also helped stop the pain and arthritis in one of them (Pit) in his neck from being hit there by my Boxer who does that to make him play with her. It is expensive, but it is also "top of the line" for what it does, AND it works! Funds aren't great, but my kids are worth it.
