"Max's activity levels have nearly returned to normal, and his endurance and breathing ability have substantially increased. If it were not for the availability of VETMEDIN, Max most likely would not be with us today. He certainly would not have the same quality of life he's had over the last few months."

"VETMEDIN helps Portia maintain an excellent quality of life, in spite of her heart problems. She's active enough to help me work with other dogs' behavior problems and is still able to hold her own with 2 young dogs and 4 cats at home."
