Prednisone in pill form as shipped from the drug company should have a shlef life of at least 2 - 3 years to account for shipping, storage and sales time. Often pharmacies use a one year expiration date which is not the actual date from the drug company. They are trying to be safe and account for poor storage, containers left in hot cars etc., and potentially for increased sales. If stored properly, ie not in sunlight or a humid area, 2 years from prescription date should be just fine.

∙ 11y agoreally i feel it should be thrown out if not taken all.. and your doctor wouldn't prescribe more then u need.. so its just common sense :)
The above statement is completely incorrect. My daughter's Dr. intentionally prescribed more than enough for "one round" of predisone so we could keep some on hand for emergencies. We probably have enough for 2-3 "rounds" depending on how long she has to be on it each time.

How long should my dog be kept on Prednisone?
This will depend greatly on why your dog was started on prednisone. If the prednisone was for a temporary condition, like getting an itchy skin under control, your dog should be weaned off the prednisone within a couple months at most. However, prednisone is also prescribed to treat Cushings disease, which is a permanent condition that requires medication for the rest of the dog's life.
