As a pet parent, you probably put a lot of research and effort into providing the very best health choices for your pet. However, did you know that pet ownership benefits your own health? It’s true! What we all sense intuitively – that being around our fur kiddos makes us feel better – is proven by science. In particular, one finding suggests that there are lots of heart health benefits of pet ownership.
The Heart Health Benefits of Dog Ownership
We’re not just being figurative; research really suggests that there are heart health benefits to dog ownership!
The American Heart Association’s Journal of Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes published a study on the relationship between dog ownership and cardiovascular health. For one, dog owners are more likely to get exercise. Just like for pets, exercise may help to keep the human heart strong and healthy by improving blood flow and strengthening the heart’s muscles. Their study found a larger effect for owners who had breeds known for being high energy, suggesting a stronger link.
Exercise wasn’t the only suggested factor. Dog ownership may encourage time spent outdoors, help people cope with stress (man’s best friend is always there for you!), give us company, and improve our mental health – all of which is associated with cardiovascular health.
Not only does pet ownership correlate with improved heart function, but it also appears to be associated with the healing process after a cardiovascular event. For example, research by Mubanga et al. found that dog owners had a lower risk of death after being hospitalized for certain heart health events.
How to Bond with Your Pet
With more and more research suggesting that pets have a positive effect on our health, we think we should spend more time together! Here are our favorite ways to spend time with your fur kiddo that also keep them healthy:
- Go for a walk or hike: physical activity helps your pet maintain a healthy weight.
- Teach them a new trick: mental stimulation helps pets’ cognitive health and improves their trust in you.
- Groom them: in nature, grooming isn’t just a pastime – it’s how animals bond with each other!
- Try feeding mats or toys: by turning treat time or meal time into a game, your pet will get exercise and stimulation.
- Playtime: whether it’s tug-o-war or chase, pets understand and love games. Play some together and you’ll find you’re having as much fun as them!
Whatever way you spend time with your pet, you’re creating precious memories together – and possibly improving your heart health!
Repaying Your Dog by Protecting Their Heart
Research like this shows what many pet owners have already figured out intuitively: having pets just feels good! When they greet you at the door, sleep by your side, or do something goofy to make you laugh, the fur kiddos of the world ease our hearts with joy and love.
Approximately 1 in 10 animals will develop heart disease
One of the most important things you can do to repay our pets is to keep their organs in tip-top shape. In fact, approximately 1 in 10 animals will develop heart disease, including up to 75% of senior dogs. That is why proactive management for heart health is incredibly important. It will affect a lot of fur kiddos (and fur seniors).
While some heart conditions exist from birth, many develop as a result of aging or lifestyle factors. To help keep your pet healthy as they age, there are a few things to keep their heart ticking strong.
- Regular exercise, like walking, running, or playing.
- Maintaining a healthy weight so as not to overtax the heart.
- A diet of high-quality protein and vegetables while avoiding foods high in fat and salt.
- Preventing heartworms. In addition to your vet’s recommendations, Inulin PK may help pets who are recovering from heartworms.
- Brushing your pet’s teeth and maintaining oral health.
- Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids. NHV Petomega 3 provides both DHA and EPA fatty acids.
- Reduce stress and anxiety. To reduce stress from sources beyond your control, NHV Lesstress may be added as a natural support.
In addition to these recommendations, specific heart conditions must be addressed with your veterinarian. Along with their suggestions, NHV has formulated kits for conditions like heart murmur, cardiomyopathy, heartworms, and more.

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.
