**Important Guidelines for Pet Owners:** * **Administration:** Always give this medication with a meal to reduce the risk of stomach upset. * **Stop Medication Immediately:** If your pet experiences vomiting, diarrhea, dark/tarry stools, lethargy, or loss of appetite, stop the medication and contact your veterinarian. * **No Human Drugs:** Never give your pet human pain relievers (like Tylenol, Advil, or Aspirin) while they are taking carprofen, as this can be fatal. * **Follow-up:** Keep all scheduled appointments for blood work to ensure your pet's liver and kidneys are handling the medication well. > **Safety First:** Store out of reach of pets and children. The chewable tablets are highly palatable, and dogs may eat the entire bottle if they find it, leading to a severe overdose.
