Vetmedin

Vetmedin is a medication used to improve heart function in dogs with heart failure, particularly caused by a weakened heart muscle. Its active ingredient, pimobendan, helps the heart pump more effectively by increasing the strength of contractions and relaxing blood vessels, which reduces the workload on the heart. This can help improve a dog's energy, appetite, and overall quality of life. Vetmedin is typically prescribed by a veterinarian and administered orally, usually once or twice daily. It’s important to follow the vet’s instructions closely and have regular check-ups to monitor the dog’s response and adjust the dosage if needed.
