Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor) commonly prescribed by veterinarians for dogs and cats. It is used to treat and, in some cases, help prevent heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, and high blood pressure (hypertension). By relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart, Enalapril helps improve circulation and heart efficiency.
