Easy to give
From UndisclosedComments about Pimobendan for Dogs and Cats Compounded Mini-Med 1.25 mg TabletOliver was diagnosed with severe heart disease at 14 years old. The Pimobendan helped his heart pump better. These tablets were an easy size to give, I just put them in a small meatball of his canned food and he ate it right down. I believe it gave us the extra month with him that we would not have had otherwise.-
