Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Sildenafil is safe to use in dogs with kidney failure. This will help manage the hypertension. If the hypertension is not managed, the hypertension will damage the kidneys further. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
