FAQ
Compounding is a way for licensed pharmacists to create a customized medication that meets your pets specific needs. Compounding pharmacists mix or change one or more FDA-approved medications to prepare a special medication for your pet. For example, if a medication is only available in pill form, the pharmacist might create it in liquid, gel, or capsule form.
Your pet may have a specific health need that cannot be addressed by an FDA-approved drug. For example:
- Your pet has trouble taking pills but will take medication in a flavored liquid or other form.
- Your pet needs medication in a strength that is not commercially available.
- Your pet is allergic to a specific ingredient in a medication.
Always talk with your veterinarian about any concerns you have about your pets health so they can prescribe a treatment for your pets unique needs.

Making my life easier
My Charlie has a heart condition and collapsing trachea. Sometimes, my vet doesn’t have this medication and I have to wait for them to restock. This means multiple visits. Now I can count on having it every month. My only criticism is that, I also get his food every month from Chewy as well, so I have to pay separate shipping. Can I combine to make both in one order?
So small!
I wish I had known how small these pills are, barely 1/8” diameter. I need to cut them in half and most of the time they just shatter into pieces. I’ll probably have to go to the brand name version which is a normal tablet size
the name is this tablet is pimobendan, but its not compounded with any flavor, j
the dog fill better with this tablet. 4mg dose for 13lb of dog with heart failure is the cheapest price on the market. There is not any problem to cut on two halves (doctor recommended 2mg twice a day)
Great Option
I found this medication during Google search. My dog is 17 years old and he has taken Vetmedin for years without an issue. In the last 6 months or so I have had trouble getting him to take the Vetmedin in the morning and the pill large and difficult to hide in a treat or in pieces of meat. When I found the generic Pimobenden I told my veterinarian that I was going to order it and see if he would take it in the morning since it is smaller. It is small enough for me to hide it in a piece of meat and get him to take it. I am so glad that Chewy was able to start compounding the medication. Any help I can get to help get him to take his medication is appreciated.
Unhappy customer
I ordered heart pills for my dog, which are to be given 1/2 twice a day. The pills are so tiny that when I cut them with the pill cover, they crumble.
Pill is too small to cut into half dose
These pills are a fraction of the price of Vetmedin, so that’s the good thing about it. However, each pill is so small that it cannot be cut into halves. I figured I would just buy two pills in half the dose so I wouldn’t have to cut the pill. I thought the half dose pill would cost less since it’s half of the dose of the original dose I purchased, but it was actually more expensive. So just like that, I ended up having to pay double for my dog’s medication.
Pimobendan compounded tablets, 4mg
Love Chewy, fast customer service (you actually get to talk to a person real quickly!) & fast with their orders and shipments. Only negative thing about this medication is that if you're trying to get 1mg doses, this 4mg is a tiny round pill with no scores, I havent tried to cut yet, but I think it's going to be hard. I think they smaller doses.
Better and cheaper than the chewables
Also way smaller. Wrap in treat and viola. No more struggle. Truely they’re let’s tan half the size of a pencil eraser.
Apoears to be working
Because it is a so small I have to put in a pocket for my dog but seems to be working. Will know how well the next time we go to vet. But all the people at Chewy were great working with me.
Big saver!
Was glad to find this! Only way to get this locally was in capsule form, which didn’t work out very well. The milligram for his dosage had to be compounded due to his size. This is wonderful to be able to have it in a teeny pill!
