Furosemide Compound Chew is a convenient but oversized piece of medication for dogs. While it works well, its size and formatting make it unsuitable for small dogs. In most of the cases, the pets have difficulty chewing it and it must be cut into pieces. Reviews suggest that its quality is average and could be improved.

"My pups going through a rough time and like any dog... it's hard to get him to take his meds and he has a lot to take due to his CHF. But these compounded treats are soooo great! He lives them so at least 2 of the 5 meds I have to give him twice a day are a treat in his eyes"

— Veronica

"Regular Order and was given one date and got here about 9 to 10 days later. My little boy depends on this medication, due to CFH and CT. Every time I called, they said it was going to be over night, or...excuses. when to find urgently some for my boy"

Bottom Line

Although the medication is effective, the size and texture pose significant challenges, particularly for smaller dogs. If you have a small dog, you might want to consider other options or be prepared to cut and soften the chews.
