Keep your best friend active, safe and pain free
You probably take aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen every day and don’t even think twice about it. NSAIDs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, help us get rid of our weekend-warrior pains, osteoarthritis aches, and daily soreness. Did you know there are NSAIDs specifically for your dog or cat? These veterinary NSAIDs also help get rid of your furry friends’ aches and pains.
The NSAIDs we take can have side effects such as nausea, vomiting, fluid retention, kidney failure, and liver failure. Unfortunately, the veterinary NSAIDs we give our furry friends can also result in similar side effects.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will host a webinar “Advice to Dog Owners Whose Pets Take NSAIDs” on Wednesday, February 22 at 2:00 p.m. ET. They will present a broad overview of the science behind NSAIDs for pets, and discuss the potential side effects that are possible, as well as what you should do as a pet owner if you think your pet is having a reaction to veterinary NSAIDs.
