This medication helps my pet
From UndisclosedComments about OstiFen (carprofen)My senior dog is 13.5 years old and has aches and pains and I give her OstiFen and seems to make her feel better. I take her on walks, which are short due to her age but then I put her in the pet stroller and she loves it. I normally give her an OstiFen on the evening of our walks.-

I've been purchasing this product for 5 years
From UndisclosedComments about OstiFen (carprofen)This product has been a lifesaver for my older dog with joint issues . It relieves swelling and pain exceptionally well . I use it on occasion for my younger more active dog whenever he over does it at play time and is sore. -
Quality of Life we thought was gone is back!!!
From UndisclosedComments about OstiFen (carprofen)My twelve year old Golden Retriever was having a lot of trouble moving into a standing position after sleeping. His arthritis had really flared up the last year. After taking the Osti Fen for three days the difference was noticeable. After a week it was like he was eight again. He's getting around so much better it's amazing. Osti Fen gave him back a quality of life we thought he would never have again. Thank you for giving us back our old, dear friend. -
