What is the right dosage for my dog?
A licensed pharmacist or a veterinarian can prescribe the right dosage for your pet. However, the usual dosage is 1.4 mg to 1.8 mg per pound. This is mostly followed if your dog is being treated for post-operative inflammation and pain. For osteoarthritis, the required daily dose is lower, which is usually at 0.45 or less than 1 mg for every pound of your dog’s weight. It is not necessary to give food to your dog prior to taking the drug, but the effects are usually better if you do. Plenty of water is advisable. Deramaxx is usually administered by mouth. The prescription of the veterinarian should be followed at all times. Do not decrease or increase dosage on your own. Everything should be cleared with the vet.
