Not for use in horses hypersensitive (allergic) to Phenylbute. Do not use in horses with stomach ulcers or a history of stomach ulcers, horses that are anemic, or have diseases of the bone marrow, kidney, liver, or heart. Do not use in pregnant or lactating horses unless benefits outweigh the risks. Avoid use in debilitated horses, foals, and ponies unless benefits outweigh the risks, since the possibility of toxic side effects is increased in these animals.

My vet prescribed this for my aging 27 year old mare with arthritic stifle and knees. The product works as prescribed. Entirely Pets contacts my veterinarian to verify the RX. They are very efficient and work as quickly as possible to ship my products. Additionally, you cannot beat the price! Entirely Pets offers the BEST prices on all my RX needs.

Good product and excellent customer service

I need to start off by saying that a review on a prescribed medication might not be appropriate. Each horse has different considerations that affect if they should be given a medication and how they will react to it. My horse's medical and physical condition is most likely entirely different than your horse's. Work with your veterinarian.
I have had my now 32yo on powdered bute for over 5 years. We occasionally try other analgesics, both prescribed and herbal, but they do not provide the pain relief this product does. Only now are his kidney enzymes beginning to show signs of being out of range (I have NSAID panels run regularly to keep track of this). At 32yo, I'll take keeping his pain reduced over slightly increasing kidney values. His issue is dystropic mineralization in knees and hocks.
A few days after I placed my order for the 2.2lb size, EntirelyPets notified me they were out of stock. Their web site still stated they had the product in stock. I was a little miffed and left it at that.
EntirelyPets took the initiative to send me two 1.1 lb canisters at the same price. I can't ask for better customer service than that. Thank you EntirelyPets!!!!!

Pros
- Works!! - for my horse.
- Clarification on my selection of Yes for the question below "would you recommend this item to a friend?"
- I would not recommend this product to a friend - I would recommend they discuss this product with their vet to see if its appropriate for their horse.
Cons
- I need to have NSAID panels run approx 2x/year to keep track of his kidney values = more $$ to spend. I cannot use this product on my other horse because it would be a risk aggravating his ulcers.

Love the product and the staff
November 2, 2018
I have a horse with cancer in his foot and they say say not much they can do so he gets this everyday and he is healthy and happy. The staff are wonderful when I said I needed his meds refilled to be here by a certain day they are wonderful to do everything they can to get it here on time. I want to thank them all for all they do to help him get what he needs. God bless you all.
Merchant Response:Hi Angie,
I'm glad VETONE Phenylbutazone is working great for you and your horse. I hope they get better soon.
