In TG at 1 month, 4/5 dogs needed telmisartan dose increase up to 1.5‐2mg/kg daily, while 1/5 dog achieved good control with initial dose. At 3 months, 2/5 dogs needed amlodipine (multitherapy). At 6 months, SBP remained controlled with telmisartan monotherapy (TM) (n=3). In the 2 dogs with multitherapy (with amlodipine at maximum dose), telmisartan was replaced by benazepril due to inadequate SBP control. At 12 months, amlodipine was added to telmisartan (n=1), and 2/3 dogs remained controlled with TM. At 18 months, 3/3 dogs were normotensive, with telmisartan (n=2) and telmisartan and amlodipine (n=1).
