Librela is an innovative drug for the alleviation of pain associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. The medication contains a canine monoclonal antibody (mAb) which targets nerve growth factor (NGF).

Good prescription drug that seems to help with our dog’s arthritis
Customer recommends this product
An excellent, very effective product which I have used regularly on 2 of my dogs. I only wish it had been available for one of my previous dogs who had crippling arthritis pain.

Customer recommends this product
This was bought on Vets recommendation as my dog Shadow GREYHOUND has serious foot injury which made him scream in pain a lot of the time. We were given three options,amputation, operations (may not work) or Librela injections. We opted for Librela I was taught how to administer injection to Shadow an have done this once month for six months. Difference is amazing ,I am not saying he does not limp on occasions but only after manic runs.
So yes a good product cheaper to buy on repeat prescription from Vio vet than direct from vet, I would highly recommend. Get your vet to show you how to administer.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Librela® Solution for Injection for Dogs, including answers from our team.
Jacqueline Gray
Is it ok to give Joint Force for stiff joints when had Librela & while taking 4 pardale
Yes, Joint Force is safe for use alongside Librela and Pardale-V if your vet has prescribed these.
MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER MAYNE
what part of the body would Librela be injected
According to the datasheet Librela needs to be injected subcutaneously. There are multiple sites your vet can do this, most commonly this is done into the scruff at the back of the neck.
Peter
Labrador, 12 years old, 32kg.
We are trying Librela for the first time. Our dog is currently on Gabapentin 100mg tablets.
Our local vet advised that we can keep giving him the tablets, as it takes a month for the Librela to start working. Is this ok to do please? Thank you
There is nothing within the datasheet that indicates the use of Gabapentin alongside Librela would be an issue. However you should discuss this with your prescribing vet, only they can say for certain if it is safe or not as only they are aware of your pet's full clinical notes.
J S Brandreth
What dosage would I need for a 53kilo dog
This is a prescription only medication so you should contact your prescribing vet regarding dose advice and follow this.
According to the datasheet your 53kg dog will need 1 x Librela 30mg vial administered once a month.
PATRICIA ANN SUTHERLAND
The vet has charged me £105 for the one injection today. Labrador is 14 years old and has some athritis in her elbows. Do i need a prescription to order this online and what dose do i need . She is 22kgs.
This is a prescription only medication so you will need a written prescription from your vet for it. It is best to seek them reagrding dose advice. According to the datasheet your 22kg dog would need 1 x 15mg vial once monthly. We dispense this medication in packs of 2.
Susan Ward
If I buy 2 x 5ml vials and only use one does the other one last for 4 weeks in the fridge
If stored according to the datasheet requirements within fridge then the medication will last until the expiry date stated on the vial itself. This is very likely to be beyond 4 weeks, more likely to be over a year.
Jan
Could you please tell me if the temperature controlled package is letter box friendly for this item or will I need to be in to accept delivery ?
Many thanks.
A person will need to be present to accept this package upon delivery as it is temperature controlled and must be stored straight in the fridge upon arrival. Our temperature controlled packaging ensures the correct refridgerated temperatures are maintained for upto 24 to 48 hours and the delivery service for this product is next day (within 24 hours) to ensure delivery within this time.
Sue
I have a very large st bernard with arthritis in his elbows. He is over 80 kg. Is this suitable for large breeds
Yes, the datasheet states the following:
For dogs above 60 kg, the contents of more than one vial are required to administer a single dose. In those cases, withdraw the content from each required vial into the same syringe and administer as a single subcutaneous injection (2 ml).
Your prescribing vet will be able to advise on what size of vials you require.
Marjorie McAnish
Do you supply or where can I get a syringe to give my dog her Librela
This medication does not come with needles or syringes, these can be purchased separately from our website though. It is recommended to use 2.5ml syringes with 23G 5/8 inch needles for the average dog. If you need product recommendations then please get in touch at [email protected].
Janice Parr
Can Librela be given to a dog on Modulis 100mg?
The datasheet for Librela states that 'No interactions were observed in field studies where this veterinary medicinal product was administered concomitantly with veterinary medicinal products containing parasiticides, antimicrobials, topical antiseptics with or without corticosteroids, antihistamines and vaccines.'
There is no specific mention of drugs like Modulis 100mg, however there is no reason to assume they will interact. It is worth running this question past your prescribing vet too though as they will need to prescribe the medication to you.
