heart support
Keeping the heart of a dog healthy is key to a happy and active life. Let’s learn more about this vital organ!
The Location of the Heart of a Dog
First and foremost, where is your dog’s heart situated?
…in the chest! Right between the lungs and behind the sternum (breastbone). The precise location can vary slightly depending on the breed and size of the dog.
A Healthy Cardiovascular System of a Dog
A resilient canine cardiovascular system is paramount for their overall well-being. But what exactly constitutes a healthy heart and circulatory system? It is characterized by efficient blood circulation, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients reach all parts of the body. Indicators of a well-functioning cardiovascular system include a strong, regular heartbeat and normal blood pressure.
To proactively preserve your pup’s heart health and ward off potential diseases, regular check-ups with a veterinarian are essential. Professional assessments can help monitor your dog’s cardiovascular well-being and address any concerns that may arise.
So, what are some common heart disease in dogs?
- Canine Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM): A condition where the heart becomes enlarged and weakened, affecting its ability to pump blood effectively.
- Valvular Heart Disease: Affecting the heart valves, leading to improper blood flow and potential heart murmurs.
- Heartworm Disease: Caused by parasitic worms, heartworm disease can have severe consequences on a dog’s cardiovascular health.
Understanding how these health concerns affect your dog’s cardiovascular system and overall wellness is crucial. Left unattended, heart issues can manifest in symptoms such as lethargy, coughing, difficulty breathing, and exercise intolerance. Over time, these conditions can compromise your fur baby’s overall well-being, significantly influencing their quality of life. Therefore, you should stay vigilant and address potential cardiovascular issues promptly.
Proactive Support for Heart of a Dog
On top of regular vet check-ups for timely intervention, you can also help ensure the well-being of your pup’s heart through various measures.
Before all else, a balanced diet is always crucial. Feed your little one a well-balanced, nutritious diet to support their overall health, including their cardiovascular system. If you need personalized diet plan recommendations, click here for Dr. Amanda’s help! Regular Exercise is also very helpful. Engage your pup in regular, moderate exercise to promote heart health and maintain a healthy weight.
In addition, you may consider incorporating NHV natural supplements into your dog’s routine.

With a focus on holistic well-being, NHV supplements can be a valuable addition to your dog’s heart care regimen.

Heartworms are spread to pets through the bites of mosquitos. Once passed to a pet, the heartworm larva begins to grow and mature in the bloodstream of the pet. After 6 months these worms become mature and take up residence in the heart of the pet. This obviously has detrimental effects on the health of the pet. While pharmaceutical treatment for this parasite is necessary, the treatment can also put quite a bit of stress on the body. Hearty-Heart will help to support your pet's heart and circulatory system, while Inulin-PK will help to repair any damage caused by the parasites. Milk Thistle is a support for the liver, which is important in helping the body to process the harsh pharmaceutical medications required to treat heartworm.
