The dosage of Vetmedin depends on what grade heart murmur your pup has and also the results of the echocardiogram. I have Biewer terriers and my male is between 11-12 years old and he was diagnosed with cardiac valve disease in 2017. His heart murmur was a grade 4 out of 5 and since he's been on the Vetmedin for 3 years, his heart murmur has actually gotten better to a grade 3. His heart has actually gotten smaller as well. He is on the lowest dosage of Vetmedin twice a day but this is prescribed by his cardiologist and not his primary vet.

Who diagnosed your pup? Your primary vet or does your pup now see a cardiologist?
