Canidryl

Canidryl is a brand name for Carprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in veterinary medicine to treat pain and inflammation in dogs. It is particularly effective for managing osteoarthritis and post-operative pain following soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeries. Carprofen works by inhibiting the enzymes that produce prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body responsible for inflammation and pain.

Canidryl is available in flavoured tablets, which makes administration easier for pet owners. Dosage instructions are typically provided by a veterinarian and are based on the dog's weight, health condition, and specific needs. The medication comes in different strengths, commonly 20mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets​.

While Canidryl is generally safe when used as directed, it can cause side effects in some dogs. Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite, with more serious risks being rare​. It is important to monitor your dog for any unusual symptoms and contact your vet if you have any concerns.
