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
  • - Safe to use in dogs over the age of 6 months

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.

Slow response, no communication

Frustrated customer

Waited over a week to get it approved I had to contact the doctor myself and his secretary told me that they had not heard from Petco at all and this is after waiting almost a week for a response from Petco. Very frustrated about this.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great product, but short supply.

Cape Cod Aussie

We have tried several different anti inflammatory medications for our 13 year old Aussie with arthritis issues. He has now been on Metacam for a couple of months and it seems to be working the best with no adverse side effects. It is easy to dispense once a day on his food. The only problem currently seems to be a general shortage in the supply of the medication. We have had a difficult time finding it on a consistent basis and now have active prescriptions with three different pharmacies. Otherwise we would give it 5 stars.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Is this a in a pill or a liquid form?

  1. liquid



What's the shelf life of Metacam after opening? Thanks for any help.

    I used to purchase the 180ml 1.5mg/mL of Metacam for my 98lb. German Shepherd with hip dysplasia. It is much more economical for me. You seem to only sell the 10mL. Can I get the larger bottle?
