Incorrect

This may not be the best choice for Poppy.

As Poppy is going into kennels, it is important that her vaccine is administered.* However, that’s not the only treatment she needs.

Poppy also has asymptomatic MVD and cardiomegaly. This means she is likely to develop congestive heart failure significantly faster and has an increased risk of death if left untreated.4 Restarting Poppy on Vetmedin® will help her to live a longer and happier life.4

This may not be the best choice for Poppy.

Since Poppy has asymptomatic MVD and cardiomegaly, extra testing at this stage is unnecessary and treatment with Vetmedin® is already indicated, to delay the onset of congestive heart failure. Restarting Poppy on Vetmedin® will help her live a longer, happier life.4

In addition, Poppy’s owner is going on holiday in a few weeks, so her kennel cough vaccine needs to be administered.*
