The use of a coating composition capable of being applied by a film-coating process to a solid veterinary pharmaceutical composition for oral administration comprising at least one compound used for the treatment of cardiac insufficiency, said pharmaceutical composition being indicated for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiac insufficiency in animals, characterized in that: (i) it comprises: - a material appetizing for the target animal, which is provided in the pulverulent form and which is chosen from substances of animal or plant origin, directly brought to a powder after treatment; - at least one binder chosen from polyvinyl alcohol polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone polymers, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and of vinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, celluloses and their derivatives, alginic acid and its salts, zein, hyaluronic acid, pectins, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, karaya gum, xanthan gum, carrageenans, pullulan or agar polymers, chitosan or its derivatives, carbomers, acrylic acid crosslinked with polyalkenyl ethers, polycarbophils, copolymers of methyl vinyl and of maleic anhydride, polysaccharides or the mixture of at least two of these binders; it being understood that, when the binder comprises one or more polysaccharides, the percentage by weight of said polysaccharides represents 50% or less, preferably 25% or less, of the total weight of binders; and - a solvent chosen from water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, glycerol or their mixture; and (ii) it comprises between 30 and 90% inclusive by weight of appetizing material, with respect to the total weight of the mixture composed of the binder and the appetizing material, in the coating by film-coating of a solid veterinary pharmaceutical composition for oral administration. (i) it comprises: - a material appetizing for the target animal, which is provided in the pulverulent form and which is chosen from substances of animal or plant origin, directly brought to a powder after treatment; - at least one binder chosen from polyvinyl alcohol polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone polymers, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and of vinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, celluloses and their derivatives, alginic acid and its salts, zein, hyaluronic acid, pectins, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, karaya gum, xanthan gum, carrageenans, pullulan or agar polymers, chitosan or its derivatives, carbomers, acrylic acid crosslinked with polyalkenyl ethers, polycarbophils, copolymers of methyl vinyl and of maleic anhydride, polysaccharides or the mixture of at least two of these binders; it being understood that, when the binder comprises one or more polysaccharides, the percentage by weight of said polysaccharides represents 50% or less, preferably 25% or less, of the total weight of binders; and - a solvent chosen from water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, glycerol or their mixture; - a material appetizing for the target animal, which is provided in the pulverulent form and which is chosen from substances of animal or plant origin, directly brought to a powder after treatment; - at least one binder chosen from polyvinyl alcohol polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone polymers, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and of vinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, celluloses and their derivatives, alginic acid and its salts, zein, hyaluronic acid, pectins, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, karaya gum, xanthan gum, carrageenans, pullulan or agar polymers, chitosan or its derivatives, carbomers, acrylic acid crosslinked with polyalkenyl ethers, polycarbophils, copolymers of methyl vinyl and of maleic anhydride, polysaccharides or the mixture of at least two of these binders; it being understood that, when the binder comprises one or more polysaccharides, the percentage by weight of said polysaccharides represents 50% or less, preferably 25% or less, of the total weight of binders; and - a solvent chosen from water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, glycerol or their mixture; and (ii) it comprises between 30 and 90% inclusive by weight of appetizing material, with respect to the total weight of the mixture composed of the binder and the appetizing material, in the coating by film-coating of a solid veterinary pharmaceutical composition for oral administration.
