Highlighted Reviews

β€” Julie

"I was paying $125 a month at my local compounding pharmacy and was so glad to see when Chewy started carrying it at a MUCH lower price. Bowie is always happy to take it even after a few months, so that’s awesome as well!!"

β€” Sabrina

"Chewy did not check the prescription by my vet and this medicine was given with a dosage 10 TIMES the correct amount. This almost KILLED my dog and chewy even admitted they are supposed to check the prescription before sending out. Fur parents.... Be diligent when ordering prescriptions from chewy!"

The Piroxicam Compounded Oral Oil Liquid is a cost-saving option for managing pain in dogs and cats, but significant concerns about dosage accuracy, design, and effectiveness make it a risky choice. Buyers should proceed with caution and consult veterinary advice.
