What are Customers saying Pros | My poor old Lady and I share problems getting up and down ... the Novox has really helped her. Wish I could take some! (Just kidding, of course.) It really has made a difference in her mobility - and her disposition. Thanks! | Our 11 year old Beagle was born with a left shoulder, joint deformity. AS she advanced in years, difficulity in walking resulted. Previcox restored normal joint movement and walking in two days. | My Golden Retriever was limping and having a hard time going up stairs. Since using Vetrynol Aspirin she is so much better. NO limp and no hesitation about stairs and jumping into the truck. Much improved. |
What are Customers saying Cons | ...will not take Novox...I don't know if it has a bitter taste..."...may cause kidney failure. | After one day of taking it he started vomiting and had severe diarrhea... | "...too strong for my dog My little dog only weighs 5lbs." |
Vet Recommendations | Currently under review | Previcox is another effective prescription nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medication that has found favor among many veterinarians in recent years. Supposedly more friendly on the liver and kidneys than some of the other non steroidal anti inflammatory medications it is especially helpful in managing arthritis and pain in middle age and older dogs. I have only rarely seen digestive tract reactions when using this product. I give this an overall ranking of a 4 out of 5. | Vetrynol Aspirin product review: In recent years there has been the development of many newer non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs to help manage both acute and chronic pain for a variety of medical conditions from arthritis and spinal problems, to post surgical management of pain. While these newer drugs are often considered somewhat more effective and safer than older drugs like aspirin, they are also much more expensive. In my opinion and experience over many years of veterinary practice, products like vetrin aspirin are often comparably effective to these newer drugs, and I have even found Vetrynol Aspirin to be effective at lower than recommended dosages than the label suggests, as low as 3 to 5 mg per pound once or twice daily as needed. As with any products of the non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug class, I always recommend vet exams and blood work before starting such over the counter medicines. As is also the case with drugs of this class, occasional digestive and less common kidney/liver issues can occur with both short or long term use in very sensitive pets. However at lower dosages and with periodic vet exams both before and when using this product longer term, I have found this product quite effective, especially when used with joint supplements like super joint enhancer from 1800petmeds. I give this product an overall rating of a 4, with an efficacy a 4 and taste/ease of use a 5. |
