Cartrophen Vet is given by injection to treat degenerative joint disease or arthritis in dogs,  and is also used in horses.

What is Cartrophen?



Cartrophen Vet is an injectable treatment used in dogs and horses suffering from the pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis (arthritis)and degenerative joint disease. It contains pentosan polysulfate sodium, a compound that helps protect and repair joint structures, improving mobility and comfort.


How Does Cartrophen Work?



Cartrophen targets the underlying causes of arthritis, not just the symptoms. Its active ingredient helps:


  • 
Improve joint lubrication

  • Protect cartilage from further damage

  • Promote cartilage repair processes

  • 
Reduce inflammation within the joint



This means many dogs and horses experience noticeable improvements in movement, reduced pain, and a better quality of life.


Who is Cartrophen For?



Cartrophen is prescribed for dogs and horses diagnosed with:



  • Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)

  • Lameness or stiffness, especially after rest

  • Difficulty rising, climbing stairs, or walking



It is suitable for dogs and horses at various stages of arthritis and can be used alongside other treatments under veterinary guidance.


How is Cartrophen Administered?



  • Cartrophen is a prescription-only injectable medication, prescribed by your veterinary surgeon.

  • Typically given as a course of 4 injections at 5-7 day intervals, though your vet will tailor the treatment plan to your dog’s needs.

  • Many owners report gradual improvements after each injection, with best results seen over the full course.


Why Choose Cartrophen?



  • ✔️ Acts at the source of joint damage — not just masking pain

  • ✔️ Clinically proven to improve mobility and reduce discomfort

  • ✔️ Well-tolerated by most dogs

  • ✔️ Can be part of a multi-modal arthritis management plan




Important Information


  • Always follow your vet’s instructions regarding dosage and treatment frequency.

  • Inform your vet of any other medications your dog is receiving.

  • Not recommended for dogs with bleeding disorders or known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.

  • Cartrophen is not recommended for young, growing dogs or for pregnant bitches.
