Benefits of Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats

Using Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats under veterinary guidance can:

✔ Help reduce the workload on the heart

✔ Support better blood flow and blood pressure control

✔ Help protect kidney function in some cats and dogs with protein in the urine

✔ Provide film-coated, flavoured tablets that many pets take more readily

✔ Offer 5 mg and 20 mg strengths so your vet can fine-tune the dose to your pet’s weight

Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats will not cure heart or kidney disease. However, they can help many pets feel brighter, breathe more easily and stay comfortable for longer.

How Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats work

Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats contain benazepril, an ACE inhibitor (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor).

Benazepril:

• Blocks the ACE enzyme

• Helps blood vessels relax and widen

• Reduces resistance to blood flow

This means the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood around the body. In some pets with kidney disease, Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats can also help reduce protein loss into the urine. When combined with a suitable diet and regular monitoring, this may slow further kidney damage.

When vets may prescribe Benazecare

Your vet may prescribe Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats when:

• Your pet has diagnosed heart disease, such as valve disease or some cardiomyopathies

• Your pet has chronic kidney disease with protein in the urine

• An ACE inhibitor is suitable alongside other medicines and dietary changes

Before starting Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats, your vet will usually:

• Take a full history and examine your pet

• Run blood tests to check kidney values and other organ function

• Check a urine sample for protein and concentration

• Often measure blood pressure

• Sometimes carry out imaging such as X-rays or ultrasound

These checks help confirm that Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats are safe and appropriate.

How to give Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats

Always follow your vet’s instructions and the label on the pack. General guidance:

• Give the exact number of Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats prescribed

• Your vet will state if the dose is once or twice daily

• Tablets can usually be given with or without food; keep the routine consistent

• You can offer the tablet directly or in a small amount of food if your pet accepts this

• Make sure your pet swallows the full tablet or tablet portion

Try to give Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats at the same time each day. If you miss a dose or are unsure whether it was given, contact your vet for advice. Do not double the next dose unless your vet clearly tells you to.

Never change the dose or stop Benazecare suddenly without speaking to your vet.

Monitoring pets on Benazecare

Pets taking Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats need regular check-ups. Your vet may:

• Listen to the heart and lungs and check breathing at rest

• Monitor bodyweight and body condition

• Repeat blood tests to track kidney values and electrolytes

• Recheck urine samples for protein and concentration

• Adjust the dose if your pet’s weight, condition or test results change

At home you can help by keeping simple notes on:

• Appetite and thirst

• Energy and exercise tolerance

• Breathing pattern and any coughing

• General behaviour and comfort

Share these notes at review visits so your vet can fine-tune treatment.

Everyday care alongside Benazecare

Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats work best as part of a complete care plan. Your vet may also advise:

• A heart-supportive or kidney-supportive diet

• Constant access to fresh water

• Gentle, steady exercise for dogs if appropriate

• A calm home with warm, comfortable resting places

These steps, together with Benazecare tablets for dogs and cats and any other prescribed medicines, help support long-term comfort and stability.
