Introduction to Librela (Bedinvetmab) for Canine Osteoarthritis

Introducing Librela: A New Standard of Comfort for Dogs with Osteoarthritis

At Best Friends Veterinary Clinic, we are excited to begin offering Librela, a groundbreaking monthly injectable therapy designed specifically to relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs. Many dogs struggle with chronic joint pain as they age, and Librela provides a safe, long-acting option to help them move more comfortably and enjoy a better quality of life.

What Is Librela?

Librela (bedinvetmab) is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets nerve growth factor (NGF)—a key mediator of pain. By neutralizing NGF, Librela reduces osteoarthritis pain at its biological source.

• Works differently from NSAIDs

• Gentle on organs such as the liver and kidneys

• Safe for long-term use in many dogs with chronic OA

  
  

Key Advantages of Librela

✔ Monthly injection – No daily pills needed, reducing stress for both dogs and guardians.✔ Rapid pain relief – Many dogs show improvement within days.✔ Long-lasting effect – One injection provides relief for a full month.✔ High safety profile – Because it is not an NSAID, it may be suitable for dogs who cannot tolerate traditional pain medications.✔ Improves mobility and quality of life – Helps dogs walk, run, and play more comfortably.

How Is Librela Administered?

• Librela is given as a subcutaneous injection once every 4 weeks.

• No fasting is required, and the appointment is quick and comfortable.

• Most dogs tolerate the injection very well with minimal side effects.

• Your veterinarian will assess your dog’s joint condition regularly to monitor progress.

Is Librela Right for My Dog?

Librela may be recommended for dogs who show:

• Stiffness or difficulty standing

• Limping or lameness

• Reduced activity or reluctance to play

• Pain when touched

• Difficulty climbing stairs or getting into the car

Your veterinarian will evaluate your dog’s symptoms, age, medical history, and overall health to determine if Librela is an appropriate therapy.

A More Comfortable Life Is Possible

Chronic osteoarthritis pain does not have to limit your dog’s happiness. Librela offers a new, modern, and safe pathway to long-term comfort.

Dear Pet Owners,

Thank you for your continued trust and support for Best Friends Animal Hospital.

To provide better care for sick pets, we will be implementing an additional fee for weekend and night consultations. A 20% surcharge will apply to treatments, diagnostic tests, and prescribed medications during weekend (Saturday & Sunday) and night-time consultations.

However, preventive medications such as heartworm, tick, and flea preventives, as well as medical supplements, prescription diets, and prescription treats, will not be subject to this surcharge. Additionally, general pet supplies will remain unaffected.

We are committed to expanding and improving our services to better accommodate your needs.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
