Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

Dog whom eats everything wont eat it
By doreen on Sep 7, 2020
I am giving 3 stars vs 1 only because I appreciate that a dog food exists to help dogs with heart conditions. However, it’s super expensive for something that doesn’t contain, in ingredients, anything more expensive then other foods nor does it require a different type of processing to manufacture to thereby warrant the extra expense. The high price makes it out of reach for some people who want to feed their ill pet the right food for his/her condition. It loses 1 more star because my little guy, who will eat just about anything, won’t eat it unless I mix it with something else. I’m glad it seems to be working for many other people.

Good service, good product

My Dogs Love This Food!
By emelson on Sep 3, 2020
I have two mini schnauzers, both age 9. One of them recently was diagnosed with an enlarged heart, and the vet said it wouldn’t hurt for the other to eat the same food. I started working on switching them over, using 25% of the new food with 75% of the old food. They both picked through the old food to eat this. The kibble is roughly the size of my thumbnail, for those asking about how big it is.

Necessary Dog Food
By Flowergirl on Oct 24, 2020
I am so happy that Chewy carries HD food for my little teacup poodle. I looked everywhere and could not find it. She loves the food but wish it was smaller kernals. Thank you.

Dog won't touch it
By Yikes on Aug 1, 2020
My dog has heart and kidney problems. He loves the Hills Prescription Diet Kidney formula, but will not touch the heart formula. The one time he ate it he threw up. I will try again, but don't hold out much hope for this food. I wish it cam in other flavors besides chicken. I think salmon would be great.

Jack-Chi and Chi are NOT fans
By JoCo on May 14, 2020
Both of my pups have heart issues and need a low-salt diet. I bought this kibble and also the canned food that goes with it, but my dogs want NOTHING to do with it. They turned their noses up after trying one or two bites. I thought the canned food would make it more appetizing but they won't even eat that on it's own. They are not usually picky eaters. The kibbles are also made for a large dog and not my 10-lb chihuahuas.

awesome and balanced food
By Isabel on May 11, 2020
My dog was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. Thanks to this food and her treatment she last 8 months instead of 3 as predicted. I suppose It doesn’t have an awesome flavor because does not contains salt, but its really healthy.

Recommended by my Vet
By Rosie on Mar 13, 2020
My dog has a heart murmur and was placed on this food in November. He eats it and seems to really like it. I do wish they made a smaller kibble for little dogs. This kibble is a little big for my 8 lb Chi Mix.

Elvis hated it!
By HeartDiet on Jan 31, 2020
Unfortunately my dog Elvis hated it. He turned his nose up to it every time and would not even nibble on it. I combined it with his previous food and he just hated it. I even made homemade gravy to try and cover up the food. He cleaned all the gravy and left the food. I was very disappointed due to the price tag of this food. It was a waste of $70.00.

My dog is not happy
By Lucy on Jan 21, 2020
My Maltese hates the dry food. She’ll only eat the wet food. Tried to save money so i got the dry food but my dog won’t eat it. Money wasted :( Now she won’t eat the beneful dry food either.
