Quick Reference
What Is Pimobendan?
Pimobendan is a cardiac medication commonly prescribed in veterinary medicine to manage congestive heart failure and certain forms of heart disease in dogs and cats. It helps improve heart function and quality of life by supporting stronger, more efficient heart contractions. Compounded formulations allow for precise dosing and improved administration for pets of all sizes.
