About Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs contain pimobendan, a medicine widely used in veterinary cardiology. Vets prescribe it to help manage congestive heart failure caused by conditions such as degenerative valve disease or dilated cardiomyopathy.

Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs do not cure heart disease. Instead, they form part of a long-term treatment plan aimed at improving comfort, activity tolerance and overall quality of life.

When vets prescribe Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Your vet may prescribe Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs if your dog has:

• Confirmed congestive heart failure

• Mitral or tricuspid valve disease with signs of heart failure

• Dilated cardiomyopathy, where pimobendan is appropriate

Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs are often used alongside other medicines, such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors, depending on your dog’s condition.

How Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs work

Pimobendan works in two important ways:

• It increases the strength of heart muscle contraction, so each heartbeat pumps blood more effectively.

• It causes vasodilation, meaning certain blood vessels widen and reduce resistance to blood flow.

These combined effects reduce strain on the heart while maintaining good circulation. Many dogs show improved energy levels and reduced breathing effort once stabilised on treatment.

How to give Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Always follow your vet’s instructions carefully. General guidance includes:

• Give Vetmedin Chew 10 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs at the dose and times stated on the prescription label.

• Many dogs receive the medicine twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.

• Vets often recommend giving Vetmedin on an empty stomach, around one hour before feeding.

• The tablets are flavoured, and many dogs take them willingly from the hand.

If you miss a dose, do not double the next one. Contact your vet or pharmacist for advice if you are unsure what to do.
