If your dog has been diagnosed with mild, moderate, or congestive heart failure, your veterinarian may prescribe Cardalis chewable tablets. Cardalis is the only FDA-approved combination drug for use in congestive heart failure in dogs and contains spironolactone and benazepril hydrochloride. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that helps to reduce fluid retention and edema associated with heart failure, while benazepril hydrochloride is an ACE inhibitor that helps to improve blood flow and reduce congestion and fluid accumulation in the lungs. Both of these active ingredients work together to provide your dog with symptomatic relief from heart failure and help to improve their quality of life. When used as directed by your veterinarian, Cardalis chewable tablets can help your dog live a longer, healthier life.
