It's really helped with her osteoarthritis.
Haven't noticed any side effects.

The WSJ, Newsweek, Daily Mail and New York Post are really exaggerating what the FDA actually said.

It's like the warning labels on antidepressants. They have to list all possible side effects just in case.

There's always risks with any drug. Librela definitely isn't a miracle cure. But it has helped relieve hip and joint pain in a lot of aging dogs.
