Chances are that you have arrived at this site due to your dog receiving an NSAID as a pain reliever for osteoarthritis or for inflammation, which has led you to seek additional information other than what is listed within the manufacturer's site. Hopefully, you may also have arrived here due to desiring to become more educated about these products, before you allow it to be administered to your dog.

Please read on and make your own decisions.

Those of us that were able to, did........ but some of us were not that lucky.
