Salix/furosemide
This medication plus the Vetmedin or pimobendan has helped save my dogs life - actually added years to his life. If your dog or cat has a heart condition, this medication is a must. It's a diaretic, so liquid doesn't stay around the heart.
Excellent Medication
This is a great medication. Our dog has CHF and this medication helps him immensely. I highly recommend it if your pet is suffering from CHF.
Works perfectly
My little guy is on lasix for his heart. This medication is small enough to hide in treats. Autoship makes refills very fast and easy.
These work great!!!
Buttercup is taking these to help manage her congestive heart failure and they seem to be working as they are suppose to.
Excellent medication at a very reasonable price
The ordering, prescription process and efficient delivery of this much needed prescription medicine was superior.

Thank You for the Furosemide
It was convenient to be able to order this medication for my pug; my vet can provide it as well, but the convenience of mail order, and not having to go in to pick it up, is great
Prompt service as usual
Chewy contacted my vet for this new order, filled and shipped it promptly. Thank you Chewy for excellent service.
Smooth process
The med is working well for our pup's heart condition. I write this review to give a thumb's up to Chewy for contacting my vet for approval. Entire process took only a few days and I had the med within a week. Smooth.
Excellent Price
Our 12 year old "puppy" has been taking this med for 5 years and our vet is pleased with her clear lungs. Chewy can't be beat on pricing, service and FAST shipping!
