FAQs
Can I give my dog Previcox with other medications?
Only if directed by your veterinarian. Never combine Previcox with other NSAIDs or corticosteroids, as this significantly increases the risk of serious side effects.
How fast does Previcox work?
Many owners observe improvements in mobility and comfort within 24 to 48 hours, though this varies depending on the severity of the condition.
Is the 57mg tablet the same as the 227mg tablet?
The active ingredient is the same, but the concentration differs significantly. Always use the specific milligram strength prescribed by your veterinarian for your dog's weight.
Does my dog need blood tests while on this medication?
Yes, for long-term use, veterinarians typically recommend periodic blood work to monitor liver and kidney function.
Can I give Previcox to my cat?
No. Previcox is formulated specifically for dogs. It should never be given to cats, as it can be toxic to them.
What should I do if my dog misses a dose?
Give the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the chewable tablet
Try hiding the tablet inside a small piece of cheese, a meatball, or a dollop of peanut butter to mask the taste.
Dog exhibits vomiting or diarrhea
Discontinue use immediately and contact your veterinarian to determine if the medication should be stopped or if a stomach protectant is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Administration: Administer the tablets exactly as directed by your veterinarian. You may provide the tablet with or without food, though food can help prevent stomach upset in sensitive dogs.
Dosage: The 57mg tablet is typically dosed based on body weight. Never adjust the dose yourself without consulting a professional.
Storage: Keep the medication in its original container, stored at room temperature, and securely out of reach of children and other pets.
Monitoring: Always report changes in appetite, energy, or stool consistency to your veterinarian immediately, as these can be signs of adverse reactions to NSAIDs.
Interaction: Inform your veterinarian if your dog is taking other supplements, vitamins, or medications, as some cannot be used concurrently with Previcox.
