Rimadyl Chewables Have purchased this product before from Valleyvet.com. It is great that the Rimadyl are chewables. My dog just eats them, in fact begs for them. Valleyvet.com makes it easy to place prescription orders. They just call my vet for the prescription. Would love to find Rimadyl chewables in a non-brand name though to save some more money.
