Metacam treats arthritis and other causes of pain and inflammation, especially those affecting the musculo-skeletal system. It can also be used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation after surgical operations, or to aid treatment in certain types of infection. Metacam belongs to the group of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and is one of the safest available for use in dogs, cats, pigs and horses. Metacam is supplied as a pleasantly flavoured liquid to be given by mouth or with food. If the dose is given directly into the mouth, this is best done after a meal. Metacam side effects are reduced through its ability to target the sites of inflammation while having much less effect than many other medications on the gut lining and kidneys.
Metacam is not advised for animals that are dehydrated, and care is needed where conditions affecting the kidneys or gut lining are suspected.

Great product worked well on my Dogs leg

I’ve been using Metacam for my dogs for the last 20+ years and it helps dogs with arthritis and hip dysplasia. I’ve used this on 3 dogs with arthritis and 1 with hip dysplasia and it does seem to ease the pain. Chester our current recipient is a 16 year old Border collie and still loves chasing his ball. Although he hasn’t been diagnosed with arthritis we want to keep him active and mobile for as long as we can.

My vets have issued me with a 32ml bottle and I have asked for a copy of the script. Can I order a bigger bottle from you or buy more than one 32ml bottle in one purchase or am I restricted to just 1 x 32ml bottle. Thank you.
We can only supply exactly what is written on your veterinary prescription. This is a legal requirement to make sure pets receive the right medication in the correct dose. If you’d like something different—such as a different strength, quantity, or product—you’ll need to ask your vet to update the prescription before we can process the order.

Good morning
I want to order Metacam for my dog and realise I have to have a prescription. My vets will give me a prescription but it costs £27 so my question is, would you need a new prescription every time I want to order this medication or will one prescription be okay and allow me to continue to purchase this from you in the future without getting a new prescription.
Prescriptions are valid for 6 months unless stated otherwise. You have 6 months to purchase what you have been prescribed. If there are repeats on the prescription this will stay on our system. It depends what your vet prescribes on 1 prescription.
