Heart Support for Pets

Heart illness, also known as cardiac disease or heart disease, can affect our beloved furry companions just like it can affect humans. It's crucial for pet owners to be aware of the signs, risk factors, and potential treatment options for heart-related conditions in both cats and dogs. Since heart illness can be congenital (existing at birth) or acquired (develop over time), even pups and younger dogs may have cardiac problems. Dr. Ruth Roberts created a support protocol to help your pet, providing valuable insights into managing and supporting pets with cardiac issues.

LET'S LEARN MORE ABOUT

Heart and Cardiovascular Health in Pets

A healthy heart is vital to keep your pet active and thriving. Cardiovascular issues, while common in aging pets, can also impact younger animals due to factors like breed predispositions, lifestyle, or diet. There are several types of cardiovascular diseases that can affect pets, each with its own implications for their health:
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, resulting in fluid buildup in the lungs or abdomen. This condition is common in both dogs and cats.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a specific type of heart disease that primarily affects cats, characterized by the thickening of the heart's walls, which can impair heart function.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), on the other hand, is more prevalent in dogs, particularly in certain breeds like Doberman Pinschers and Great Danes. This condition involves the enlargement and weakening of the heart chambers, leading to reduced pumping efficiency.
Mitral Valve Disease (MVD) is often seen in small breed dogs, where the mitral valve in the heart becomes compromised, resulting in regurgitation and eventual heart failure. Understanding these conditions is vital for pet owners to ensure timely intervention and proper care.

Common Causes of Heart and Cardiovascular Issues in Pets

Poor Diet: High-sodium and processed foods can strain a pet's cardiovascular system over time.

Lack of Exercise: Physical inactivity can lead to obesity and cardiovascular strain, affecting both heart health and energy levels.

Age and Genetics: Some pets are more prone to heart issues due to their breed or genetic background, and risks naturally increase with age.

Environmental Stressors: Chronic stress and lack of routine can impact heart function, as it does with the immune system.

Common Symptoms of Heart Health Issues in Pets

Keep an eye out for the following signs that could indicate cardiovascular stress:

  • Lethargy or Weakness: Your pet may seem less energetic or tire more quickly.
  • Coughing or Difficulty Breathing: Often a sign of heart strain, particularly after activity.
  • Decreased Appetite: Heart issues can lead to reduced appetite or changes in eating habits.
  • Weight Changes: Rapid weight loss or gain, especially in the abdominal area, can indicate fluid retention or other cardiovascular symptoms.
  • Swelling: In severe cases, fluid build-up may lead to swollen limbs or abdomen.

Heart Health Support Strategies

Balanced, Heart-Healthy Diet: Look for foods rich in taurine, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, as these nutrients support cardiovascular function and reduce inflammation.

Regular, Moderate Exercise: Physical activity supports weight management and promotes a healthy heart, but keep the exercise moderate to avoid strain, especially for senior pets.

Heart-Boosting Supplements: Consider adding supplements designed for cardiovascular support, such as CoQ10, omega-3s, and B vitamins, which are essential for heart function.

Stress Management: Help reduce your pet’s stress by maintaining a consistent routine, providing enrichment, and using calming supplements if needed.

Routine Veterinary Check-ups: Regular heart health assessments, particularly as your pet ages, can help identify early signs of heart issues and ensure timely intervention.
