Can I give my dog Adequan and Deramaxx together for arthritis?

Question

My senior pitizen Scrappy has been on arthritis therapy including Deramaxx, tramadol and gabapentin for a year now and today we are adding Adequan. I wanted to get a second opinion on whether the combination is safe? Im not really worried about Tramadol and gabapentin, it's the combination of Deramaxx and Adequan both being NSAIDs that I was a bit reluctant on - is it typically safe to administer both? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 80 lbs

Adequan is safe to use with these drugs. It is not an NSAID, it is an injection of polysulfated glycosaminoglycan and has no known drug interactions. Here is more info: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1800
