FORTEKOR FOR PETS (BENAZEPRIL)
Fortekor for Pets Description
Your pet companions are important to you and your family, and as such, you want the best for them, including regular vet exams and medical attention when required. Your cat or dog may not be able to communicate with you verbally, but pet parents may begin to notice a change in disposition, looks, and habits that could indicate they are not well. Fortekor for Pets is prescribed for dogs and cats that are experiencing heart or kidney disease and high blood pressure.
Dogs may display symptoms more openly while cats can hide them until these conditions progress further. Pet parents are usually the best indicator as to how their dog or cat has been behaving and can relay any changes they observe to their veterinarian. It may surprise some pet owners how many illnesses, conditions, and diseases their cat or dog can present with that are the same as those that humans can get. In many cases, so are the medications!
How Fortekor for Pets Can Help Your 4-Legged Family Member
The active ingredient of Fortekor for Pets is Benazepril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor called ACE inhibitor for short. When given to your pet as directed, Fortekor will work to inhibit the angiotensin converting enzyme which results in a reduction of angiotensin ll, a powerful vasoconstrictor. The result is the blood vessels in their body relax so a proper blood flow is maintained and their heart is able to pump rich, oxygenated blood to the rest of their tissues and organs. Fortekor for Pets lowers their blood pressure, eases the strain on their heart, and increases the blood flow to their kidneys.
Conditions Treated by Fortekor for Pets
If your pet is diagnosed with hypertension, there is an underlying reason for it that could include chronic kidney disease, diabetes, obesity, or heart disease. By treating the secondary causes for hypertension, your pets’ blood pressure can be reduced. There are no symptoms that can tell you your pet is hypertensive, so regular check-ups are important to keep your 4-legged companion healthy for years to come.
Ask your veterinarian about the best diet to feed your pet if they are a couch potato or hyperactive. Should you give them vitamins? Is it cruel to never allow your cat outdoors? Make a list of questions for the next vet visit. Pets are a long-term commitment and they pay you back with unconditional love.
Before Fortekor for Pets is Prescribed
Inform your doctor if your pet is pregnant, may become pregnant, or is nursing a litter before giving Fortekor for Pets. By keeping a health record for your pet, the vet will know of past treatments or drugs that were recommended, weight gains or losses, and which vaccinations are due. This helps your veterinarian to determine if Fortekor for Pets is the right medication for them.
Fortekor for Pets Proper Use and Recommendations

Do not start, stop, or change the dose of Fortekor for Pets or any meds for your cat or dog without talking to the vet first. Keep out of children’s’ reach and away from other pets in the household.
