What are Vetmedin Chewable Tablets for Dogs and Cats?
- Vetmedin is a prescription medication used to treat congestive heart failure in dogs and certain cardiovascular conditions in cats.
- Vetmedin-CA1 is prescribed to delay the progression of myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) to congestive heart failure in dogs.
- Vetmedin contains pimobendan, which helps the heart contract (pump) more effectively, and it dilates blood vessels, which reduces the amount of pressure the heart needs to pump blood.
Why is Vetmedin used for Dogs and Cats?
- Vetmedin is labeled for the treatment of congestive heart failure in dogs caused by either a bad heart valve (myxomatous mitral valve disease) or a weak heart muscle (dilated cardiomyopathy).
- Vetmedin may be prescribed for extra-label use in cats with dilated cardiomyopathy or other medical conditions as a veterinarian determines.
- Vetmedin may also be prescribed in combination with other medications for congestive heart failure treatment.
- Vetmedin-CA1 is labeled for the delay of onset of congestive heart failure in dogs with Stage B2 preclinical myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD).
What else should I know about Vetmedin and Vetmedin CA-1?
- Vetmedin chewable tablets are scored for easy dosing.
- Please note that due to short supply from the manufacturer, at this time we can only fill one bottle of Vetmedin per pet per order. VetRxDirect understands how important this medication is, and we sincerely appreciate your assistance in helping as many pets as possible.

Seems to be helping my 16 year old Pomchi.
From UndisclosedComments about Vetmedin (pimobendan) Chewable Tablets 2.5mg, 50 Tablet BottleMocha, our 16 year old Pomchi, is being treated with this for congestive heart failure. She takes half a tablet twice a day. It is a chewable tablet which is helpful. It does not have a strong smell and is easily hidden in a soft moist treat and easily chewed so she does not seem aware that it is hidden. She is doing well and I believe it is helping her. -

From UndisclosedComments about Vetmedin (pimobendan) Chewable Tablets 1.25mg, 50 Tablet BottleMy little girl's cardiologist says her CHF is "going in the other direction" -- actually has returned to normal size and function. I always make sure to give it a full hour before a meal.
