Overview
Novox Chewable Tablets are a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) for dogs that contain the active ingredient carprofen. Designed to control pain, inflammation and fever associated with osteoarthritis, arthritis, hip dysplasia or post-surgical recovery, Novox provides a chewable alternative to swallowing pills, which can make dosing easier for picky or anxious dogs. Available in 25 mg, 75 mg and 100 mg strengths and sold in 30-, 60- and 180-count bottles, Novox is the generic form of Rimadyl and is prescribed for dogs older than six weeks. Owners will choose Novox when they need a vet-supervised, proven NSAID option that’s easier to administer than tablets or liquids.

Cons

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Novox is a prescription medication, so a veterinarian must evaluate your dog and write or send an e-prescription. This ensures the dose and treatment duration are appropriate and that baseline monitoring is arranged if needed.
