Pimobendan Compounded Oral Liquid for Dogs & Cats

My little poodle Jeffy has to have this medication twice daily and he doesn’t like to take pills - he never has ! I was crushing the med and I was worried he wasn’t getting it all . I ordered this and Jeffy takes it easily and it smells good, doesn’t seem to taste bad to him and it works so good. As far as spilling the bottle now has a tight stopper in it and I never have had any issue with spilling ! It works so awesome and I am so happy I am getting it thru Chewy now !

Realizing there is a present shortage of Pimobendan, I bought this small amount at $63 for the time being. However, later, I found the exact same product at Heartland Vet for $16.50. The small syringe included does not reach to the bottom of the bottle, even if you tilt the bottle on its side. I poured the remaining amount in a small glass to try to recover the last and still there is loss of medicine in the transfer. Heartland's bottle has a better method to extract the medicine right to the last.

I read all the reviews about leaky bottles and took a chance anyway. I was lucky...my bottle was fine. Previously I had used the chewable tablets (50 per bottle) which only lasted about a month and a half and cost about the same as this compounded liquid! I did the math, and the 90ml bottle I ordered lasted for 3 months...twice as long for about the same price! It's a no-brainer if cost is one of your primary issues. The trade-off is that the liquid is less convenient to use and the numbers on the syringe they give you fade off quickly. My solution was to take a kitchen knife and score the tube at the 1/2ml and 1ml markings that I needed. Problem solved. Also keep in mind that the syringe I read all the reviews about leaky bottles and took a chance anyway. I was lucky...my bottle was fine.

Dog loved it on top of food...liquid is beef flavored. … more

My dog spit out the pill form. This is better whereas he at least gets medicine in twice a day. I just wish 30ml bottle was bigger and lasted more than reordering every 15 days. I wish there were 180ml bottle for 90 days.

This works so well --- my poodle's response is fantastic. He is eating and acting his old self again. Thanks so much for this compounded medication.

Due to the shortage of Vetmedin pills, I bought the chicken flavored compound for my Beagle. Unfortunately, this did not appear to work as well, as his symptoms of CHF appeared to worsen somewhat. I am an RN so I know he was getting the exact dosage (the compound gets settlement in the bottom of the bottle and must be shaken thoroughly or the dosage may be off). Luckily I had enough pills to alternate between liquid and pill or his symptoms may have worsened considerably. My vet was finally able to get some pills and I am no longer using the compound. I hate to say this is the first time I have been disappointed with a Chewy product. Chewy has always been my go-to for pet needs.

Received intact despite the box being badly crushed. They have solved the leakage issue by inserting a plastic stopper under the lid. Difficult to remove: I had to use a corkscrew on it.

The medication appears to work well. As others have mentioned, the bottle leaks terribly and so he seems like we might be wasting a very expensive medication. Also as others mentioned, it wipes off the number on the syringe and so I am eyeballing it now. I do also have concerns regarding the medication settling and whether I am mixing it well enough. My dog is very funny about taking pills or treats so this is my only choice.

I've had a hard time getting the vetmedin for my dog. So i began to purchase this. However this is only a 1 week supply and is 20 dollars less than a month supply of vetmedin. My bottle was also leaky.

This is a good alternative to Vetmedin which goes out of stock, however, the bottle leaks and the liquid takes the numbers off the syringe. Chewy doesn't sell a replacement syringe. So not even halfway through the bottle and the syringe no longer gives an accurate reading of the dose.
