10mg Zelys Chewable Tablet for Dogs - Per Tablet

10mg Zelys Chewable Tablet for Dogs - Per Tablet

10mg Zelys Chewable Tablets for Dogs

Zelys Chewable Tablets, containing 10mg of pimobendan, are a trusted and effective treatment for managing congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs. These chewable tablets are specifically formulated to enhance heart function and ease the symptoms of CHF, improving your dog's overall quality of life. The convenient chewable format ensures simple administration, making Zelys a practical choice for both pets and their owners. Recommended by veterinarians, Zelys supports dogs with CHF through a proven dual-action mechanism.

How Zelys Works

The active ingredient in Zelys, pimobendan, is a widely used medication that provides essential support for dogs diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Pimobendan acts through two primary mechanisms:

  1. Inotropic Effect: Pimobendan strengthens the heart's contractions, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently. This improved circulation enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body, relieving many symptoms of CHF.

  2. Vasodilation: Pimobendan relaxes and widens blood vessels, reducing resistance to blood flow. This action lowers the heart's workload, helping to prevent fluid buildup in the lungs, chest cavity, and other areas.

By addressing both the heart's pumping ability and the vascular system, Zelys plays a crucial role in managing CHF and alleviating associated symptoms. Regular use, under the guidance of a veterinarian, ensures optimal results and long-term support for your dog's cardiovascular health.

Understanding Congestive Heart Failure in Dogs

Congestive heart failure is a serious condition that affects a dog's ability to maintain proper blood circulation. It often results from underlying issues such as chronic valve disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, or heartworm infection. As the heart's efficiency declines, fluid can accumulate in the lungs, chest cavity, or abdomen, further complicating the dog's condition.

Common symptoms of CHF in dogs include:

  • Persistent coughing, particularly during rest or at night
  • Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing
  • Reduced energy levels and fatigue
  • Swelling in the abdomen or limbs due to fluid retention
  • Loss of appetite and gradual weight loss

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to managing CHF effectively. Left untreated, the condition can progress and significantly impact a dog's quality of life.

5mg Zelys Chewable Tablet for Dogs - Per Tablet

5mg Zelys Chewable Tablets are specifically formulated to support dogs diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF). Zelys 5mg tablets are easy to administer and designed to promote improved heart function and quality of life for affected pets. They are highly palatable, making them suitable for dogs of various breeds and sizes. Zelys is a trusted medication, recommended by Vets to manage the symptoms associated with CHF and support ongoing cardiac health.

How Zelys Works

Zelys 5mg contains the active ingredient pimobendan, a widely used and effective medication for treating congestive heart failure in dogs. Pimobendan functions as an inodilator, combining two crucial actions:

  1. Inotropic Effect: Pimobendan enhances the strength of the heart's contractions, ensuring it pumps blood more effectively. This helps improve the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, reducing the workload on a weakened heart.

  2. Vasodilation: Pimobendan relaxes and widens blood vessels, decreasing resistance to blood flow. This lowers the heart's workload further and helps alleviate fluid buildup often seen in CHF.

By addressing both the mechanical and vascular challenges associated with heart failure, Zelys plays a vital role in managing the condition. Regular administration, as prescribed by a veterinarian, can significantly improve a dog's energy levels, breathing, and overall comfort.

1.875mg Ypozane Tablets for Dogs - Pack of 7

1.875mg Ypozane Tablets for Dogs - Pack of 7

1.875mg Ypozane Tablets for Dogs are a prescription medication used primarily to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in male dogs. This condition involves the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can cause discomfort and other health issues. Ypozane contains the active ingredient osaterone acetate, which helps in managing and reducing the symptoms associated with this condition.

How Ypozane 1.875mg Tablets Work

Ypozane 1.875mg Tablets work by inhibiting the effects of testosterone on the prostate gland. Testosterone is a hormone that can contribute to the enlargement of the prostate gland in male dogs. By blocking the action of testosterone, osaterone acetate helps to reduce the size of the prostate, thereby alleviating the symptoms associated with BPH.

Treatment with Ypozane involves a simple, once-daily dose for seven days. This regimen has been shown to significantly reduce prostate volume within a short period. Studies have demonstrated that a 40% reduction in prostate size can be achieved within 14 days, with the therapeutic effects lasting for up to six months. This makes Ypozane for Dogs an effective and convenient solution for managing benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Zycortal for Dogs

Zycortal for Dogs - 4ml

Zycortal for Dogs is a veterinary prescription medicine used to treat Addison’s disease (hypoadrenocorticism) in dogs. This injectable suspension is designed to help maintain electrolyte balance and prevent the life-threatening symptoms associated with this condition. It contains desoxycortone pivalate (DOCP), a synthetic mineralocorticoid that supports adrenal function by regulating sodium, potassium, and water levels in the body.

Addison’s disease occurs when a dog’s adrenal glands do not produce enough corticosteroid hormones, which are essential for various physiological functions. Without proper treatment, affected dogs may experience lethargy, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, and in severe cases, collapse. Zycortal is used in combination with glucocorticoid therapy to provide long-term management of the condition, helping to stabilise a dog’s health and improve their quality of life.

How Zycortal Works

Zycortal contains desoxycortone pivalate (DOCP), which mimics the action of natural mineralocorticoid hormones that are normally produced by the adrenal glands. These hormones play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of electrolytes and fluids in the body. When a dog has Addison’s disease, their body fails to produce sufficient levels of aldosterone, a hormone responsible for regulating sodium and potassium levels. This imbalance can lead to serious complications, including dehydration, low blood pressure, and shock.

Once administered by a veterinarian as a subcutaneous injection, Zycortal helps to normalise sodium and potassium levels, reducing the risk of dangerous fluctuations. The active ingredient works over an extended period, typically requiring re-administration every 25 to 30 days. Since Zycortal only replaces mineralocorticoid function, dogs undergoing treatment will also need additional glucocorticoid therapy, such as prednisolone, to replace the deficient cortisol levels.

Vivitonin 50mg Tablet - each

Vivitonin 50mg Tablet - each

50mg Vivitonin for Dogs is a prescription-only medication used to support cognitive function and overall vitality in ageing dogs. It contains the active substance propentofylline, which has a range of effects that can help improve circulation, oxygenation, and mental alertness in elderly canines.

Vivitonin is commonly prescribed by veterinary professionals to address signs of dullness, lethargy, and reduced activity levels associated with age-related changes. It is available in scored tablets, making it easier to administer the correct dosage according to the dog’s weight and veterinary guidance.

How Vivitonin Works

The active ingredient in 50mg Vivitonin is propentofylline, a substance known for its ability to improve blood flow and enhance oxygen delivery to tissues. It acts by dilating blood vessels and reducing the stickiness of red blood cells and platelets, which improves circulation, particularly in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles.

In older dogs, reduced blood flow and oxygen supply can contribute to fatigue, slower movement, and reduced interest in surroundings. By promoting better perfusion, Vivitonin helps these dogs maintain energy, cognitive function, and general responsiveness.

Additionally, propentofylline has mild bronchodilatory effects, which can support respiratory function, and it may reduce free radical damage by improving antioxidant activity within the body. While not a cure for ageing, it can significantly improve the quality of life in senior dogs displaying signs of cognitive decline or disinterest.
