Is it safe for my dog to be on prescription gabapentin long-term?

Question

How long can a dog be on the prescription gabapentin

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

There is really no maximum time that a dog can be on this medication. Some older dogs are on it daily for many years at a time for arthritis or other chronic conditions - it's generally quite well-tolerated and does not tend to cause any health problems, even with long-term use.
