Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can Firovet 57 mg be given with or without food?

Ans: Yes, Firovet chewable tablets can be given with or without food. Food may delay absorption slightly, but it does not reduce overall bioavailability at the recommended dose. This flexibility makes daily administration easier for most dogs.

Q2: How often should I give Firovet 57 mg to my dog?

Ans: Dogs are typically given 2.27 mg per pound of body weight once each day. This dosage works the same for joint issues and for recovery after surgery. To keep treatment safe and effective, follow your vet’s exact dosing and timing instructions.

Q3: Is Firovet safe for dogs under 12.5 pounds?

Ans: Firovet cannot be dosed correctly in dogs below 12.5 pounds due to the fixed tablet size. If your dog falls under this weight, check with your veterinarian for another NSAID or an appropriate pain relief alternative designed for smaller dogs.

Q4: What side effects should I monitor when giving Firovet?

Ans: This medication can cause vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, or lethargy in some dogs. More serious effects may involve ulcers in the stomach or intestines, kidney changes, elevated liver enzymes, or neurological issues like ataxia or seizures. If you observe any signs that concern you, get in touch with your veterinarian as soon as possible.

Q5: Can Firovet be used with other NSAIDs or corticosteroids?

Ans: No, Firovet should not be given alongside other NSAIDs or corticosteroids. Combined use increases the risk of gastrointestinal issues, renal complications, and other adverse reactions. Your veterinarian should supervise all medications given during treatment.
