Pimobendan is a heart medication that helps dogs with certain types of heart failure. It works by making the heart pump more effectively and by widening blood vessels, which makes it easier for the heart to circulate blood. This can improve a dog's quality of life by reducing symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, and exercise intolerance. Pimobendan is often used in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy or mitral valve disease, and it can be used alone or in combination with other medications.
