All-Natural Good Dawg Gravy vs. common prescription pain meds
Many dog parents want daily, all-natural support for stiffness and joint discomfort, and will use prescription drugs only when they’re truly needed.
This table is a simple, side-by-side look at how Good Dawg Gravy compares with the NSAID pain medications most commonly prescribed for canine
osteoarthritis (Carprofen and Galliprant). Always work with your veterinarian on your dog’s pain plan.
What you’re comparing
All-natural supplement
Good Dawg Gravy (CBD + joint support)
Prescription drugs
Common NSAIDs (Carprofen / Galliprant)
Type of product
Single-serve, all-natural food topper with hemp-derived CBD and other joint-support nutrients, designed for daily use alongside
your dog’s regular food.
Prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to control pain and inflammation from diagnosed osteoarthritis.
Primary goal
Ongoing support for comfort, mobility, and healthy inflammatory response — especially for dogs who need something gentle every day.
Reduce pain and inflammation quickly when joints are already very sore or arthritic; often used when supplements alone aren’t enough.
How it works*
CBD interacts with your dog’s endocannabinoid and inflammatory pathways. In clinical studies, CBD has been shown to reduce pain scores
and improve activity in dogs with osteoarthritis when dosed appropriately.
NSAIDs block prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation (Carprofen via COX pathways; Galliprant targets the EP4 receptor),
which can give strong pain relief but also affects other organs.
Daily use & monitoring
Formulated as a daily supplement. Your vet may still recommend periodic bloodwork, especially if your dog also takes other medications
or has liver issues.
Intended for daily use under veterinary supervision. The FDA recommends regular lab monitoring because long-term NSAID use can affect
the stomach, kidneys, and liver.
Common side effects reported in studies
CBD studies in dogs have generally reported good tolerability, with occasional soft stool or sleepiness and some cases of elevated
liver enzymes that need monitoring. Serious adverse effects are uncommon when quality and dosing are appropriate.
Vomiting, diarrhea, reduced appetite, and lethargy are among the most common. More serious risks include stomach/intestinal ulcers,
kidney strain, and liver damage, especially with long-term use or incorrect dosing.
Long-term questions
Growing research suggests CBD can safely support dogs with osteoarthritis, but long-term data are still developing. Product quality,
dosing, and vet oversight matter.
NSAIDs are well-studied but may carry more long-term organ risk, so most vets balance benefit vs. side-effects and may look for ways
to reduce dose over time.
Best fit for
Dog owners who want to prioritize an all-natural, food-based, once-a-day option for ongoing joint support — and who are thinking about
what their dog is taking every single day for years.
Dogs needing stronger pain control right now, or when your veterinarian decides a pharmaceutical is required to maintain quality of life.

Research on CBD & canine osteoarthritis (PubMed / NIH-indexed)
Gamble LJ et al., Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018 – CBD oil (2 mg/kg twice daily) significantly reduced pain and increased activity in dogs with osteoarthritis.
Verrico CD et al., Pain, 2020 – Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial showing daily CBD reduced osteoarthritis pain in dogs with no significant lab abnormalities over 4 weeks.
Patikorn C et al., 2023 systematic review – Concluded CBD appears safe for treating canine osteoarthritis; evidence suggests pain reduction but larger, longer trials are still needed.
These studies guide how responsible CBD products are formulated and dosed for dogs. They don’t test or endorse any specific brand.
A dog food topper is a product you add to your dog's regular meals, typically meant to enhance the flavor and texture. Good Dawg Gravy toppers are crafted to taste great and provide the highest nutritional support available in the Food Topper Market. They are not meant to replace your dog's primary food, but rather to supplement it.
Bone Broth, often called a "Super Food," is safe and beneficial for dogs due to its rich nutrient profile. It can support joint health, digestive tract repair, sensitive stomachs, diarrhea recovery, improved nutrient absorption, and reduced inflammation. Bone broth may also help with hydration, appetite stimulation, immune system support, and improved skin and coat health.
Dog food toppers like Good Dawg Gravy are designed to supplement a dog's diet with Core Longevity Supplements aimed at addressing health concerns such as joint pain and anxiety. For example, all 4 Good Dawg Gravy formulas help with joint pain, but our Senior Formula is specifically created with natural supplements that support healthy, pain-free mobility in aging dogs. Our Calming Formula contains Cannabidiol (CBD) to regulate stress and mood, and L-Tryptophan, an amino acid that helps the body produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to well-being and emotional balance.
