As the only piprant-class NSAID, Galliprant is the most targeted oral treatment for canine OA. With the power to precisely target OA pain, Galliprant can be used from first diagnosis and for as long as needed, even in young dogs. As recent data shows, OA is much more common in young dogs than first thought. This new study revealed that 41% of young dogs had radiographic OA, and two-thirds of those had associated pain. Based on this insight, early intervention in young dogs could improve quality of life for years to come. As the most targeted oral treatment for canine OA, Galliprant can play a key role in this early stage of OA management.
