Hi!
Dogs: if you have a typical mitral valve patient or DCM patient with the typical clinical signs and CHF proven on radiographs you can use Pimobendan without an echo (at least in my opinion) . Special cases like decompensated stenoses, Shunts, patients without CHF need a echo before the use of Pimobendan.
Cats: its not licensed for cats so I would be a bit cautious without echocardiogram.
