Overview
Make sure your dog gets the entire dose. Dogs normally eat these tasty tablets without hesitation. As a result, the tablet can be hand-fed or crumbled over the pet's regular meal. By laying the tablet on a hard surface and pressing down on both sides of the score, the tablet may be split in half. Rimadyl is available as a scored tablet. Dosage should be determined in half-dose increments. Approximately 2 hours prior to a surgery, give to control postoperative discomfort. The complete dose can be given all at once or split into two doses of 1mg per pound given twice a day. For dogs, the daily recommended oral dose is 2mg per pound of body weight.
