Abstract
Highlights • Many dogs with osteoarthritis receive NSAIDs for long time periods.• The risk of NSAID-related adverse events concerns veterinary surgeons and dog owners.• Many strategies are adopted to minimise the risk of these adverse events.• These strategies may compromise animal welfare through inadequate analgesia.• The evidence base to support these strategies is inadequate and should be addressed.
