Heads up on cost of Rimadyl.. (pic)

Submitted by Dave and Zapper on March 30, 2013 - 9:34am

Go Back to General Bulldog Forum

Mr. Zapper had his annual wellness check yesterday along with a full blood panel. His liver and kidney functions are within the normal range so the Rimadyl hasn't had an adverse effect and it is really making a big difference in his arthritis :))

For #60 100mg Rimadyl at vet 1 = $73.75

For #60 100mg Rimadyl at vet 2 = $129.20

For #60 100mg Rimadyl at Costco = $37.39.

Can you guess where I'm headed this morning ?

Dave

rimadyl and works pretty well. He just had his blood panel done also. My dr put me on Zegerid for a stomach ulcer and the cost at Costco is 90 pills for $1,068.00. With insurance the co pay is $275.00 I sure hope it heals quickly! Glad your guy is feeling good on the Rimadyl.

Yes Deb, you need a Rx from the vet

I'm not giving him milk thistle because all the tests keep coming back fine. Maybe I should anyway as preventive maintenance but I didn't want to give him anything he didnt really need.
