Support for Cats and Dogs with Heart Conditions
Our little ones can't always tell us what is bothering them, so be on the look out for symptoms you may encounter if your pet is suffering from a heart condition.
Early signs can include:
- Coughing– more than usual, after exercise/play or a few hours before bed, especially if your pet has a known heart murmur
- Low energy– your furkiddo no longer wants to go on longer walks or wants to play and tires easily
- Restless behavior - having a hard time settling down before bed
As the heart condition progresses, your pet may exhibit:
- A swollen belly due to fluid buildup and/or fluid buildup in the chest (in and around the heart and lungs)
- Fainting due to decreased blood flow to the brain
- Color change in tongue or gums from pink to bluish-grey due to poor circulation
- Potential weight loss
If you observe any of the above signs in your cat or dog, it is vital that you take them to the vet as soon as possible. Your vet will be able to perform chest x-rays, blood work (including heartworm testing), an ECG (which is a test that monitors electrical signals from your pet's heart) and cardiac ultrasounds. NHV’s supplements for dog and cat heart health, help support your pet’s cardiovascular system (including the heart and lungs) as well as improve circulation and overall vitality.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for heart conditions in cats and dogs, but you can significantly improve their quality of life and reduce symptoms if caught early. Certain dog breeds like American Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Chihuahuas, Daschunds, Maltese, Poodles, and Papillion, are susceptible to developing heart disease. With cats, breeds like American Shorthairs and British Shorthairs, Main Coons, Persians, and Siamese are prone to inheriting certain heart conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

FAQ
Do dogs need grains for heart health?
There are grains that are beneficial for a dog’s heart health, however, we recommend focusing instead on a low sodium, high quality, and nutritionally balanced diet.
If you’re wondering where to start and want a personalized meal plan for your pet, our in-house vet Dr. Amanda can create a home cooked meal plan that is specially formulated for your pet’s unique needs.
What vitamins are good for dogs’ heart health?
A nutritionally balanced diet full of essential amino acids, omega 3 fats, and vitamins such as tocopherol (vitamin E) are very beneficial for promoting healthy heart function and supporting dogs with cardiovascular issues.
Do cats get heartworms?
Although cats are not typical hosts for heartworm and it is a more common issue in dogs, cats can still become infected with young heartworms that trigger a condition known as heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD). The only effective means of protecting your kitty from heartworm are through heartworm prevention.
How does a poor diet affect heart health in cats?
Heart health is the key to a long and healthy life. Your kitty relies on their diet to nourish their cells and maintain all of their body processes. So if there are nutritional voids in their diet, their body may not be functioning properly, and this includes breaking down harmful fats. Excess fat molecules may start to accumulate in your pet’s cardiovascular system and lead to impaired heart function, and circulatory issues.
