What It Is?

Diuretics manage fluid retention or high blood pressure by helping the body eliminate excess salt and water.

Why It's Important?

Diuretics are used to treat conditions like congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, kidney disease, and high blood pressure in dogs by reducing fluid buildup and promoting urine production. This helps alleviate symptoms such as swelling and difficulty breathing. Commonly prescribed diuretics for dogs include furosemide, spironolactone, and hydrochlorothiazide.
