Heart disease

How to care for your dog’s heart

Faulty circulation can put an enormous pressure on the heart muscle and lead to a build up of fluid in the lungs, muscle fatigue caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscles and shortness of breath. These are all symptoms of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).

A healthy heart means a healthy dog who is full of vitality and who has more resistance to disease. Good heart health also means your dog can expect a long life.

Diet is another way we can prevent heart disease in dogs. Make sure your dog eats a salt free or low salt diet.

Although exercise is beneficial for your dog, make sure he doesn’t over exert himself. Walking is fine but make sure he gets the chance to stop and rest if he seems tired or is breathing heavily. Also avoid exercising him in very hot or humid weather.

So what else can we do to prevent heart disease in our dogs? Yes there are prescription medications we can give them such as Aminophylline and theophylline. However these do have side effects.

Wild animals instinctively know what herbs to eat to keep themselves healthy in the wild. Our dogs rely on us to give the safe and effective herbal treatments when they become sick. To prevent and treat Congestive Heart Failure, Heart and Circulation Tonic can be given on it’s own or together with prescription medicine if necessary.
