Significantly helped my senior Golden Retriever

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I adopted my Golden Retriever, Alli, at the age of 11 from a rescue and she is now a few weeks shy of 16. When she first came into rescue she was pretty grouchy and apt to snap unexpectedly if touched in the wrong place or the wrong way. The rescue's vet diagnosed her with arthritis and I believe her grouchiness was very much related to pain from the arthritis. She was put on Putney carprofen right after her vet exam and has been on this medication continuously ever since. It has made a huge difference in her mobility and overall quality of life. She has never had any side effects from taking the medication and has mellowed significantly over the four years that I've been blessed to have her in my life. Ordering from Vet Rx Direct has been a very smooth and easy process and shipment is always very prompt.

I will not buy this product again

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Tried Rimadyl and it was great but expensive. Tried Putney Carprofen tablets and they worked a little, then tried chewable and they did not work at all. Could see dramatic decline in overall well-being. Went back to using Rimadyl and both our Irish Terriers improved dramatically. One Irish is 15, the other 8.

Comments about Carprovet (carprofen) Caplets

We've used this medicine before, so this review isn't so much about that. Carprofen is carprofen. The service was great - they contacted our vet right away, and the turnaround time from placing the order to receiving it was extremely quick. We will definitely be using them again. Another big selling point was that they are an Vet-Vipps accredited site. Would highly recommend!
Great service. Great product.
