calif_chaz Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Does anyone know the best place to ger (or order) rimadyl? I have the prescription from our vet and since it will be a long term thing I would like to get the best price on it. Thanks for any input!

CaliforniaGreys Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I used to get mine from petscriptions.com because it was 54.00 and the vet charges 110.00. But our vet now price matches. You may want to ask your vet if they will do the same.Hope so...

Guest KennelMom Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The cheapest I've found it (by the bottle) is at http://www.thomasvetdrug.com/. Our vet wrote us an RX for a 60 count bottle. It's not online, but it's in their print catalog for $62.95 for 60count/100mg. $51.95 for 60count/75mg. You can fax the prescription to them or mail it. Don't bother emailing them b/c it takes a while...I called them to coordinate filling the RX and got right through to a human. We've ordered several things from them in the past and always been happy with their products and fast shipping. If you need individual pills, I have no idea.

onrushpam Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Ask your vet about switching to Meloxicam. It's an NSAID like Rimadyl and is available on the $4 formulary at both WalMart and Target. If the vet feels that Rimadyl is a better choice for your dog, then go with it, but meloxicam/Metacam/Mobic can be just as effective.

Hubcitypam Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 That was Lynn, not Pam. Lynn You kids and your dual personalities! I second the human metacam. Somone has been getting it in Mexico for my crippled eternal foster for .05 a pill and he takes 1/2 daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbullwinkel Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have Missy on Meloxicam generic from walmart. Now they have $10 for ninety days! prior to that she was on Metacam which online cost me $65! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You might want to look for Novox (generic rimadyl). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatricksMom Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I haven't used Meloxicam in dogs, but I have used it many times in rabbits and guinea pigs, with good pain control and no problems--given how delicate they are it seems like it'd probably be worth a try.

Guest longdogs Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 The active ingredient in Rimadyl is the drug carprofen. You can buy generic carprofen here in Australia which is just as good and much cheaper. I don't know whether it is available in the US. You would have to speak with your vet or pharmacist. It sounds like Novox might be an equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
