This groundbreaking study sought to answer a key question: Can pimobendan — with proven efficacy in
treating dogs with congestive heart failure (CHF) caused by myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD)-- also delay the onset of CHF caused by MMVD?
We highly recommend it for dogs with significant risk factors: a «snub - nose» anatomy (snub - nose breeds are very susceptible to respiratory infections, have a higher mortality rate, and have a harder time clearing the disease), heart and / or pulmonary disease (such
as dogs with congestive heart failure, a history of heartworm infestation, etc), suppressed immune systems (such as after chemo therapy), and competition dogs (show dogs, performance dogs, search & rescue dogs, etc).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pimobendan with conventional therapies on survival and reocurrence of pulmonary edema
in dogs with congestive heart failure (CHF) caused by myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD).
Question: What is the safest / most effective allergy medication (respiratory allergies - a clear runny nose) for a (11.5 pd)

One study failed to find evidence of decreased CoQ10 levels in
dogs with congestive heart failure, but reported that although dramatic effects on blood dynamics were not observed, CoQ10 supplementation reduced the increase in organ size associated with chronic heart failure [3].
In 2017, Dr. Wolchinsky received Boehringer Ingelheim's first VETMEDIN Cardiology Pioneer Award in recognition of all the veterinarians and specialists who care for
