Vetmedin Hard Capsules are a trusted solution for managing canine heart disease, designed to improve the quality of life for your pet. These flavoured chewable tablets are easy to administer, ensuring that your dog receives the necessary medication without any hassle. Vetmedin works by opening up the blood vessels leading to and from the heart, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. It also strengthens the heart muscle's contraction, improving the overall efficiency of the heart.

Pimobendan

Vetmedin has been shown to improve the quality of life and extend life expectancy in treated dogs. It acts in two ways: To open up blood vessels carrying blood to and from the heart, which reduces the work your dog's heart has to do to pump blood around the body. To increase the strength of your dog's heart beat which will improve the pumping action.. Always follow the guidance of your vet to achieve the best outcomes for your pet's health.
