Rx Vetmedin (pimobendan) Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Rx Vetmedin® Chewable Tablets for Dogs (Pimobendan)

Vetmedin® (pimobendan) is a prescription cardiac medication for dogs used to manage congestive heart failure (CHF) and, in appropriate cases, delay the onset of CHF in dogs with Stage B2 preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). This inodilator works through two complementary actions: it helps relax blood vessels to reduce the workload on the heart and improves heart muscle contraction to support more efficient blood flow.

Vetmedin Chewable Tablets are beef-flavored and scored for flexible dosing as directed by your veterinarian. The prescribed dose is based on your dog's body weight and is generally divided into two daily administrations approximately 12 hours apart. When used as directed, Vetmedin has been shown to improve quality of life and extend survival in dogs with heart failure due to MMVD.
