Works Wonderful For Dallas's Cough
My Yorkshire Terrier Dallas has a collapsed Trachea. We took him to the vet because he was constantly wheezing and coughing. The vet said it was collapsed trachea and he gave us this medicine for Dallas. I am very happy with the results as Dallas has been taking it for 4 days now and he has only coughed a few times since he started it. I would recommend this product to a friend! The only side effects i have noticed is that he drinks more and therefore has to go to the bathroom more often. This is a wonderful product to help with coughs!

Works like a charm
Campy is allergic to almost everything and when dust and pollen are at their worst, he develops a very bad cough, especially at night (can't do ceiling fan in bedroom for sure). Temaril-P is the only thiing that get his bad cough under control. I've tried other medicines, both OTC and RX and this is the stuff that truly does the job.

TInker Bell
Tinker is a chuwawah/pug mix that is about 10 years old. we rescued her about 3 years ago and found out she has ALOT of health issues., She also lost her sight. Besides being on Temeril P she has about 4 other pills and an insulin shot she needs 2x daily. BUT.. with these meds, she is a happy puppy, you would never know she was blind and had health issues. she runs around with our other dogs, just like she is one of them and she keeps up. Im grateful that Pet meds allows me to keep her happy and healthy. THANK YOU!!!

good for itchy dogs
My golden retriever is a very allergic dog. This medicine helps, still some itching but not tearing his fur out!
Wasn't sure about the taste. I hide it in a small piece of cheese!

This works for my Boston Terrier
Years ago we rescued a Boston Terrier. He scratched like crazy and licked everywhere. We brought him to the vet and she prescribed Temaril-P and it worked wonders. Unfortunately, she told us that it was very dangerous to use it long term so we discontinued. Next we tried 3 months of hypoallergenic food, no success. Then we tried 2 years of injections, no success. Then we tried Atopica, no success. Finally we switched vets and found one who advised us that in fact Temaril-P is safe for long-term use in dogs. He explained that for humans it's not but for dogs it is because their body's react differently to it. So we are back on the Temaril-P and really regretting that we didn't switch vets sooner. The Temaril-P does make him thirsty but the scratching is almost completely gone!

Yes, Temaril-P contains a steroid and Previcox is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID). Steroids and NSAIDs are not usually prescribed together as they can cause severe gastro-intestinal side effects such as bleeding.
My Yorkie is 3,5 years old and for 2 years she has Temaril-P. About 35 tablets a year.It's hurt my feeling to give her this tablets but only Temaril-P can help her to stop itching.Please if anybody know for how long time can you give this tablets to dog? Thank you.
Temaril P may be given for an extended period of time. Your veterinarian will dose the medication accordingly to avoid long term side effects with the steroid component of the drug. Most vets perform bloodwork to see if the medication is affecting the functioning of the liver and kidneys with long term use.
what would the total cost be for a twelve month supply of generic form of heartguard (green box), and 50 tamaril? Is there any first time buyer discount or promo codes or free shipping. Please itemize How would i get a prescription from my vet to you for the tamaril or its generic form? Do you contact them?
Can i give him a half pill daily or skip a day and then give him one? He seems like he's really tired all day! Or can i give him a pill when i notice he starts itching & licking his paws again?
Once Temaril started working for our dog's allergies we reduced it to every other day. I would try reducing it if your dog is tired. Less medication is better if the itchy stops.
This medication is usually tapered to response. Only your veterinarian can tell you how to taper it. So please let your veterinarian know how your pet is responding so that the dose can be addressed.
