Prednisolone for dogs

Prednisolon für Hunde

Prednisolone is a synthetically produced glucocorticoid that has an immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect in addition to an immunosuppressive effect.


Prednisolone is not only used in human medicine, but also in veterinary medicine and is prescribed to dogs with a wide variety of complaints.

Areas of application of Prednisolone in dogs

Due to its effect, the treatment of dogs with the glucocorticoid prednisolone is suitable for a number of different diseases.


Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is used for inflammation of the skin and joints. If a dog suffers from a severe allergy, the anti-allergic effect of Prednisolone can help to alleviate the symptoms.


In addition, it can be used for various autoimmune diseases and in the case of insufficient formation of the hormone cortisol in the adrenal cortex of the dog.

Side effects of prednisolone for dogs

As a dog owner, you should always be aware of the fact that Prednisolone is associated with risks for your dog. This is because the active ingredient can have a number of sometimes very serious side effects.

Taking Prednisolone can cause the following problems, among others:

  • The immunosuppressive effect can result in an increased susceptibility to infections.
  • Long-term use of Prednisolone can cause damage to the dog's bone structure.
  • Changes in the sugar balance can lead to diabetes.
  • Dogs taking prednisolone tend to gain weight and retain water.

Prednisolone for dogs - our conclusion

Taking Prednisolone can be useful for dogs in certain situations. However, you should also be aware of the possible risks for your four-legged friend.


It is not always worth buying the expected side effects. For this reason, we recommend that you decide on a case-by-case basis and talk to your veterinarian about possible alternatives for the treatment of your dog.

If you decide to treat your dog with Prednisolone, follow these tips:

  • Give your dog enough to drink as Prednisolone leads to increased thirst.
  • Note the increased fluid intake when planning your walks.
  • Do not increase the rations to avoid weight gain.
  • If you are taking the food for a longer period of time, you will need regular check-ups by a veterinarian.

Healthy and vital with Bellfor products

Of course, we do not advise you at this point to visit a veterinarian or to refuse a treatment of your dog intended by him.


However, we are convinced that a balanced diet with our dog food can make a valuable contribution to the health and well-being of your dog.


In addition, natural food supplements can help to counteract existing complaints. For example, numerous customer testimonials show that Bellfor Joint & Bone can be used to achieve great results in joint conditions such as osteoarthritis.


Before you apply Prednisolone or other medications to your dog's body, it may be a good idea to find out about more digestible alternatives.
