How It Works
After your dog ingests the tablet, the active ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps improve the strength of heart contractions and supports efficient blood circulation.

Vetmedin 2.5 mg is not a cure for heart disease. It helps manage symptoms and support cardiac function when used as directed by your vet.
