Benefits of Carprieve tablets for dogs

Carprieve tablets for dogs can help your dog in several ways:

• Reduce pain from sore or arthritic joints

• Lower inflammation after soft tissue or orthopaedic surgery

• Support more comfortable walking and moving

• Improve rest and sleep by easing discomfort

• Flavoured tablet form to make dosing easier in many dogs

Used as part of a wider joint-care plan, Carprieve tablets for dogs can help dogs stay active for longer.

How Carprieve tablets for dogs work

Carprieve tablets for dogs contain carprofen. Carprofen is an NSAID. It blocks enzymes that make prostaglandins, which are key drivers of pain and inflammation.

When prostaglandin levels fall, many dogs:

• Feel less stiff

• Cope better with daily activity

• Show fewer signs of joint soreness after rest

Carprieve tablets for dogs do not cure arthritis or joint changes. They manage the pain and swelling that come with these conditions. Your vet may also suggest weight control, joint diets and controlled exercise.

When vets use Carprieve tablets for dogs

Your vet may prescribe Carprieve tablets for dogs to:

• Manage chronic pain from osteoarthritis

• Control pain and swelling after orthopaedic surgery

• Support recovery after other approved procedures

Before starting Carprieve tablets for dogs, your vet will examine your dog. They may run blood tests, especially in older dogs or those with other health problems. This helps check that an NSAID is a safe option.

How to give Carprieve tablets for dogs

Always follow your vet’s advice and the product label. General tips:

• Give the exact number of Carprieve tablets for dogs your vet prescribes.

• Your vet will tell you how often to give them, often once or twice daily.

• Many dogs will take the flavoured tablets from your hand like a treat.

• You can also give them with a small amount of food if your vet agrees.

• Make sure your dog swallows the full dose.

Try to give Carprieve tablets for dogs at the same time each day. This helps keep pain control steady. If you miss a dose, or if you are unsure whether your dog took it, contact your vet for advice. Do not double the next dose unless your vet tells you to.

Long-term management with Carprieve tablets for dogs

Carprieve tablets for dogs usually sit within a bigger management plan. Your vet may also suggest:

• Keeping your dog at a lean, healthy weight

• Regular, gentle exercise rather than sudden hard activity

• Soft, supportive bedding and non-slip flooring

• Joint-support diets or supplements if suitable

• Physiotherapy or other supportive therapies for some dogs

These steps work with Carprieve tablets for dogs to support comfort and mobility.
