Mistletoe has more controversy surrounding it than just the kisses that happen under it. If you’re trying to find out whether or not European mistletoe is safe for pets, you may be finding conflicting information and we’re here to help you find answers.
What Is European Mistletoe?
There are many types of mistletoe. European Mistletoe, also known as Viscum album, roots into the bark of trees and grows as a parasitic shrub on its host. Mistletoe is an evergreen plant that grows in bunches up to 10 feet wide and has thin, leathery, tongue-like leaves. Along with leaves, mistletoe also has small, white, sticky berries. These berries are produced from yellowish flowers that grow in clusters of three. European mistletoe is not only native to Europe but also northern Asia. European mistletoe often chooses apple or oak trees as its host.
History and Traditional Use of European Mistletoe
The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe comes from Norse mythology. The god Balder was slain by an arrow made of mistletoe and the plant was entrusted to the goddess of love who decreed that those who pass under it should kiss.
European Mistletoe has been long used for medicinal purposes. Hippocrates is known to have used the herb for spleen conditions. In 19th century texts, European and American mistletoe were both recommended as treatments for epilepsy, typhoid fever, congestive heart failure, and menstrual cramps, however, this text also noted that large amounts had toxic properties. The Druids also used mistletoe to support the immune and cardiovascular systems.
Medicinal Properties and Toxicity of European Mistletoe
For as long as mistletoe has been used in herbal medicine, there have been conflicting beliefs about its safety.
Studies have found that mistletoe contains active ingredients that both raise blood pressure and lower it. European mistletoe is said to have mild sedative and diuretic properties which may be helpful for allowing pets with heart conditions to relax and expel fluid build-up in the body. Mistletoe has also been found to have immuno-stimulating properties. Mistletoe is commonly used in Germany for patients with cardiovascular conditions.
While European mistletoe has many beneficial properties, you can have too much of a good thing. At the correct dosage, both humans and pets can safely use European mistletoe as support for a variety of health conditions. In excess amounts, mistletoe can be dangerous. The berries in particular are thought to have a higher concentration of toxic properties compared to the stems and leaves. That is why it is essential to only use European mistletoe at a dosage that is vet-approved for your pet and to keep them away from any mistletoe plants that may be around.
How to Safely Use European Mistletoe for Pets
If you are considering using European mistletoe for your pet, you must ensure that it is at a dosage safe for your pet. The best way to know a European mistletoe safe for pets is to consult a holistic veterinarian.
We use European mistletoe stems and leaves in one of our herbal supplements, Hearty-Heart. Hearty-Heart was carefully designed by a holistic veterinarian and master herbalist to ensure that it is safe and beneficial for pets. This blend of herbs is formulated to be safe for pets and to support cardiovascular health and function.

Seeing your little one battling cardiovascular and heart disease in dogs and cats is distressing and worrying. We understand that it is impossible just to stand and watch them suffer. That’s why our Pet Experts have bundled two natural supplements that work together and can be used alongside traditional medication as extra support for your little one.
Our Cardiovascular Super Support Health Kit can help support the cardiovascular system, alleviate heart disease symptoms, and reduce any discomfort heart conditions may cause.

All our supplements are free of added preservatives, additives, flavorings, or artificial colors. They are veterinarian formulated, and have been used by pets worldwide for over twenty years.
What is Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats?
Cardiovascular (cardiac) disease is an umbrella term for conditions in your furkid’s circulatory system (blood vessels and especially the heart). Because of this, they are also commonly known as heart diseases.
Over 10% of furkiddos have some kind of cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, the diseases progress over time if not treated in the early stages. This may eventually lead to heart failure and may even be fatal. That’s why seeking help from veterinary cardiologists is important. You should also visit a vet as soon as you notice clinical signs of heart disease in your beloved furkid.
Symptoms of Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats
There are many types of cardiovascular disease in dogs and cats, and they all show different, particular symptoms. The symptoms may also vary in various breeds and species.
But here are some general signs you should watch out for:
- Difficulty breathing
- Coughing persistently
- Depression
- Abnormal weight changes
- Fatigue and restlessness
- Swollen abdomen
- Loss of appetite
- Collapsing or fainting
Discovering, diagnosing, and treating heart disease sooner can help minimize the damage it causes to your cat or dog’s heart. So, we would like to reiterate the importance of vet consultation and full body examination upon seeing these symptoms.
Common Cardiovascular (Heart) Disease in Dogs and Cats
Let’s learn some common types of heart disease or cardiovascular disease in dogs and cats:
- Valvular disease - when heart valves don’t open or close normally, causing an enlarged heart
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) - when the heart muscle thickens
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) - when the muscle in the heart weakens
- Arrhythmias - when the heart beats irregularly
- Congenital heart disease - when furkiddos’ heart anomalies are present at birth
- Heartworm disease - when a parasite infests your little one and attacks their arteries, lungs, and heart
- Pericardial disease - when too much fluid builds up and hinders the proper pumping of blood
Sadly, most heart disease in cats and dogs are incurable. But with treatment and natural support, you can help your little one live a longer and happier life!
How NHV Remedies Support Cardiovascular Disease in Dogs and Cats
Our Cardiovascular Super Support Health Kit can support your little one while taking vet-prescribed medication.
Hearty-Heart, as the name suggests, is our primary support for cardiovascular or heart disease in cats and dogs. The extract supports furkiddos’ cardiovascular system, promotes heart health, and helps with symptoms of cardiovascular disease. The herbs in this formula are well known to help with various heart related symptoms. For example, the herb Pulsatilla helps relieve the constant coughing, restlessness, and respiratory issues that furkids with cardiac disease may experience.
Various other herbs in the supplement, like motherwort, help strengthen your little one’s heart and circulatory system. Hawthorn, in particular, is a well-known heart and vascular tonic. It is often recommended for furriends with heart disease. This herb also may strengthen cardiovascular structures and functions. All the herbs work synergistically to create a balanced formula that is safe to use long-term to support the cardiovascular system.
Another supplement added to the kit is Turmeric. Turmeric is also beneficial for cardiovascular health. The main compound in Turmeric is called curcumin. In addition to supporting the cardiovascular system, curcumin is high in antioxidant properties and may be helpful in scavenging free radicals as well as helping to reduce inflammation.
And what does inflammation have to do with cardiac health?
Inflammation is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disorders because it may cause blood clots. Therefore, if we reduce inflammation in our furriends, it may protect them from having cardiovascular disease too. That’s why Turmeric can serve as a proactive support for heart disease in dogs and cats.

Hawthorne – Is considered to be one of the best herbs for fortifying the heart and supporting your veterinarian’s recommended cat heart disease treatment. Hawthorn acts as a cardiotonic, which helps stabilize the heart’s activity based on what the feline heart needs; either to be stimulated or reduce activity. Hawthorn has traditionally been used for heart failure, heart palpitations, heart weakness, and for the circulatory system. Hawthorne works by dilating the vessels and the coronary arteries, which improves the metabolic process and the blood supply to the heart and the rest of the cat’s body. It helps regulate your cat’s heart rate, coronary flow, and blood pressure. Hawthorne also has a soothing and sedative effect, which helps reduce stress.
Balsam Poplar – Stimulates circulation and supports blood flow. Balsam Poplar has been popular, historically, amongst the indigenous population in North America for coughs. It’s also been used as food for horses. Balsam Poplar has strong anti-inflammatory and may help with discomfort.
Hops – Helps relax tension and anxiety while supporting circulation.
Valerian – Helps manage heart palpitations and regulates the nervous system. Valerian plays a vital role in the nervous system by gently calming the nerves, which helps a cat's body to physically relax.
Woody Betony – This herb is one of the most valued in herbal medicine and has been used for centuries for over forty ailments! It acts as a mild stimulant to the heart. It is a nerve tonic that nourishes and builds vital energy. Woody Betony contains glycosides, which may help reduce blood pressure in cats, aiding in cat heart disease treatment.
Lobelia – Causes immediate relaxation and expansion of the respiratory system that allows oxygenated blood to flow freely. It helps with circulation and reduces agitation in cats.
European Mistletoe – Helps control tachycardia, relaxes spasms and hypertension. A cardiotonic that has been used for centuries.
Motherwort – Has a strengthening effect, especially on a weak heart. It helps sooth and relaxes the heart muscle. Motherwort helps maintain a regular heartbeat and lowers blood pressure, stress, and anxiety.
Pulsatilla – This herb is known to be antispasmodic, which is considered to be beneficial in cat heart disease treatment by relaxing the heart muscle and helping to soothe and relieve coughing. Pulsatilla also has a sedative effect that helps ease coughing.
