Description

METACAM (meloxicam oral suspension) is a veterinary prescription non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps control pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs 6 months and older. METACAM is approved by the FDA to help dogs who suffer from a degenerative and inflammatory joint condition. NSAIDs, such as METACAM, improve your dogs overall mobility by relieving joint pain and inflammation. Similar to human osteoarthritis (OA), canine OA is a condition in which one or more joints become inflamed and painful and may even be swollen. METACAM comes in a liquid formulation, so its easy for you to administer the precise effective dose possible recommended by your veterinarian. Just use the easy-to-read syringe that is provided in the box. METACAM is safe for use in small, medium, large, and extra-large dogs. Ask your veterinarian about METACAM for dogs living with OA pain to help them find relief and get them back to doing the things they love.

  • - Provides once daily dosing, METACAM provides relief to dogs suffering from pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA)
  • - Oral suspension comes with a graduated syringe, featuring easy-to-read weight measurements, that allows for the correct amount of medication to be easily and accurately dispensed
  • - Palatable formulation that can be applied directly on the dogs food
  • - Can be titrated down to the lowest effective dose
  • - Safe to use in dogs over the age of 6 months, including small, medium, large, and extra-large breeds

Your veterinarian will carefully consider the potential benefits and risk of METACAM (meloxicam oral suspension) and other treatment options before deciding to use METACAM. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual response. METACAM should be administered initially at 0.09 mg/lb. (0.2 mg/kg) body weight only on the first day of treatment. For all treatments after day 1, METACAM should be administered once daily at a dose of 0.045 mg/lb. (0.1 mg/kg). The syringe is calibrated to deliver the daily oral maintenance dose in pounds. Please note: Using the weight of your dog, and noting the dose concentration of the METACAM, use the full prescribing information to determine how to draw up the dose (syringe or dropper) and administer the dose (directly into the mouth or mixed in with the food).

The safe use of METACAM (meloxicam oral suspension) in dogs younger than 6 months of age, dogs used for breeding, or in pregnant or lactating dogs has not been evaluated. With your veterinarian, carefully consider the potential benefits and risk of METACAM and other treatment options before deciding to use METACAM. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual response. Warnings: Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of reach of children. Consult a physician in case of accidental ingestion by humans. For oral use in dogs only. Contraindication: Dogs with known hypersensitivity to meloxicam should not receive METACAM (meloxicam oral suspension). Do not use METACAM Oral Suspension in cats. Acute renal failure and death have been associated with the use of meloxicam in cats.

Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this flea and tick control solution for its fast-acting, reliable effectiveness, with many reporting dead fleas within minutes and protection lasting weeks or months. The topical application is consistently noted as easy, mess-free, and well-tolerated by dogs, with clear instructions and a precise applicator design. Strong brand loyalty is evident, with many customers citing years of continued use and recommending it to others without hesitation. A very small number report occasional breakthrough cases or mild sensitivity, though these are rare exceptions among thousands of satisfied users.

Check your local vets prices first. My vet only charges $32 per month for my cat.

No, I do not recommend this product.

FRONTLINE® Shield for Dogs (XS, 5-10 lbs)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] FRONTLINE® Shield for Dogs (XS, 5-10 lbs) was very easy to apply topically to my small dog. 3 doses come in a box (3 month supply). It works to fight/shield your dog from adult fleas & their eggs (& larvae), ticks, mosquitoes, chewing lice, & stable flies. One dose lasts one month.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could not actually use this specific item since it is the wrong size, but I have used the correct size before and it is good...... There is no smell, keeps fleas off, stays where is supposed to.......

FRONTLINE Shield for Dogs Does a Good Job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use FRONTLINE Shield for Dogs Does and it works great on our black lab mix. He stayed flea and tick-free all season when we used this. We have a large yard that backs up to the woods, so we were worried about fleas and ticks. But FRONTLINE Shield for Dogs did its job and kept him protected all season long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a very active pup who enjoys the outdoors and chasing chickens. We were able to use this before our vet visit with no issues. Went on well, dog didn’t seem to mind and we did not find any ticks on him.

Long trusted product for my dogs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have four dogs and they all use Frontline to protect from fleas and ticks. We have deer ticks in the woods behind our house, but I very rarely find any on my dogs (and when I do, they are very recently latched). I have used Frontline for many years and it is very reliable. I will mention that it seems they changed the design of the tube and this was slightly harder to open than previously-- but it was easy enough to cut open with scissors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When it comes to my dogs I always think of them as an extension of our family and treat them as so. With that being said when it comes to flea and tick prevention I make sure that they are covered and that they are not going to be having unnecessary chemicals put on them. Front line is a brand that I have used for many years because I trust them. Their products are easy to use and to apply to my dogs so that way they don’t get stressed or nervous and I can feel comforted knowing that they are taken care of and protected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By having neighbors that do not have their yards cut regularly, it brings many different critters and bugs into my yard. I have a Lab mix and he starting scratching more than usual so I tried Frontline on him. Within hours, it seemed he was already scratching less and as the days went on, less and less scratching was evident.
