Galliprant is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in dogs to manage the pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. Unlike traditional NSAIDs, Galliprant selectively targets the EP4 prostaglandin receptor, which plays a key role in arthritis pain, while minimizing effects on other systems like the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. This makes Galliprant a safer option for long-term use in aging or sensitive dogs.

Carprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly prescribed for dogs to manage pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis or following surgery. It works by inhibiting COX enzymes involved in the inflammatory process, which helps improve mobility and comfort.
