Started my two old girls 14 y o Akita/shepherd and 13 y o lab mix on Galliprant on advice from my vet – they were Rimadyl for awhile but cant keep them on that without liver tests every month. They are both taking one pill per day – 60 mg. $67 per month per dog but there is a $30 rebate offered by the manufacturer and I have received several after submitting forms.
I will say that this medication keeps my dogs comfortable. They have not suffered any side effects – no diarrhea, loss of appetite etc. So far so good.
We know that it is a waiting game before they are no longer able to climb stairs etc but we still take two walks a day – the length determined by their mobility and desire.
This has been a godsend for my dogs
