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:
-
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.
-
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.

Description
Treatment and Management of CHF
Congestive heart failure requires a comprehensive treatment plan that includes medication, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing veterinary care. Zelys Chewable Tablets are a cornerstone of CHF management, providing essential support to improve heart function and alleviate symptoms.
Other elements of CHF treatment may include:
- Diuretics: Medications such as furosemide help reduce fluid retention and improve breathing.
- ACE Inhibitors: These drugs lower blood pressure and decrease the heart's workload.
- Dietary Modifications: A low-sodium diet can minimise fluid retention and support overall heart health.
Administering Zelys as directed by a veterinarian is critical for achieving the best outcomes. The 10mg dosage is suitable for larger dogs or those requiring a higher dose to address their condition. The tablets are typically given twice daily, on an empty stomach or one hour before meals, ensuring maximum efficacy.
Features of Zelys Chewable Tablets
Zelys Chewable Tablets are designed for ease of administration, featuring a palatable formula that appeals to dogs. This eliminates the challenges often associated with giving pets medication. Each 10mg tablet delivers an accurate dose of pimobendan, ensuring consistency and reliability in treatment.
The chewable format is particularly beneficial for larger dogs, simplifying the process of providing higher doses. Zelys is manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring quality and efficacy for managing CHF.
Precautions and Possible Side Effects
While Zelys is highly effective in treating CHF, it is not suitable for all dogs. It should not be used in dogs with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis, or other conditions where increasing cardiac output may be harmful. Dogs with known allergies to pimobendan or any ingredients in the tablets should avoid this medication.
Potential side effects may include:
- Mild gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting or diarrhoea
- Changes in appetite
- Rare cases of lethargy or weakness
If you notice any adverse reactions or changes in your dog's behaviour, it is important to contact your veterinarian promptly. Routine veterinary check-ups and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or echocardiograms, help monitor your dog's progress and ensure treatment remains effective.

By improving heart function and reducing the strain on the cardiovascular system, Zelys helps dogs maintain a better quality of life despite their condition.
