Thank you Jessica for sharing this heartwarming tale about Mr. Buddy Freckles. He makes us smile too 🙂
This is my beloved Buddy Freckles. He’s a 15 yr old basset hound. He became a member of our family 13 yrs ago when he was adopted from a rescue. Like every good basset, Buddy’s favorite things are eating, napping & following his nose! He has a very funny personality & always makes me smile.
I can’t even tell you how incredible this stuff works. My dog was diagnosed with a heart murmur a few years ago and because of his age, they told me he wouldn’t live long. Well, it’s been 2 years since his diagnosis & he’s still going strong but I could tell he was starting to feel the effects. His cough was getting worse, he was increasingly uncomfortable at night & pacing, breathing heavily especially after getting up or with a little bit of activity. It hurt me to see him that way & I didn’t want to take him to the vet where they would tell me it’s time to let him go. So I found this stuff, read the reviews & it is EVERYTHING everyone says it is. My sweet oldie is not struggling to breathe anymore, he doesn’t pace at night & the cough is nearly gone. Not to mention he has perked up & is so much more alert. This amazing stuff gave me my dog back & I hope to have more good years with the best dog on this planet! Thank you!!!!
What is a Heart Murmur in Dogs?
A heart murmur is when extra vibrations are produced due to turbulent blood flow or because of vibrations of the heart structure, such as part of a valve. Your veterinarian may grade the murmur based on how loud it is.
- Grade 1 is barely audible.
- Grade 2 is soft, although it can be still be easily heard with a stethoscope.
- Grade 3 has intermediate loudness.
- Grade 4 is a loud murmur that radiates widely throughout the body.
- Grade 5 is a very loud murmur, which can be heard with the stethoscope barely touching the chest. It may also be strong enough to be felt through the dog’s chest wall.
- Grade 6 – has the same characteristics as grade 5, but is even louder.
Some heart murmurs in dogs can be brought on by other underlying conditions, such as hyperthyroidism, heartworm disease, or anemia.
What Are the Symptoms?
Symptoms of a heart murmur in dogs are similar to other heart conditions. These include:
- Coughing
- Exercise intolerance
- Pacing before bedtime or having a hard time settling down
- A swollen belly (from fluid buildup in the lungs and other organs)
- Collapsing because of blocked blood flow to the brain
- Change in color of tongue or gum color to bluish grey due to poor oxygen flow.
- Weight loss.
What are the Treatment Options for Heart Murmurs in Dogs
It’s important to remember that not all heart murmurs indicate a heart disorder.
Your veterinarian will check for heart failure. It’s important to remember that not all heart murmurs indicate a heart disorder. Based on the clinical signs your veterinarian may recommend prescription medications. In conjunction with any western medications, it is important to be sure to feed them a quality diet that helps maintain optimal weight. Obesity and severe weight loss can adversely affect the heart. You may also want to supplement their health with all-natural herbal supplements, like NHV Hearty Heart.
In addition to NHV Hearty Heart, we also recommend using the NHV Turmeric and NHV PetOmega 3. Turmeric is a super herb that helps support the heart and circulatory function as well as provide overall general well-being. The PetOmega 3 will provide needed omega 3 fish oils, which are recommended by vets for pets with cardiovascular issues.

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.

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.

Does the Heart Murmur Support Kit help with prevention?
These supplements are great for prevention, especially for breeds like King Charles Spaniels which are very prone to heart disease. It's never too early to support healthy heart function.
Once heart murmur symptoms in your cat have been seen, you should also consult with your vet. They may recommend their own heart murmur treatment for your cat, and it will be safe to give alongside NHV’s natural herbal remedies.
My new pet is a breed prone to heart murmurs. Can I use these supplements now, or should I wait?
These are gentle herbal formulas and as such, they do take time to work in the body. You should notice a difference in about 3-4 weeks. Since every animal is different it's a good idea to check in with us around week 2 so our pet experts can suggest any dosage changes for your pet.
What are common heart murmur symptoms in cats?
