VetriScience Cardio-Strength Specialty Health Dog & Cat Capsules, 90 count

I have a big fat cat. Well, he's big boned. He was diagnosed with a heart murmur 6 months ago. After a blood test, my vet recommended he'd see a cardiologist. This doctor said he had thickening on his heart walls. I scoured the internet for something that might help him. He was too early to take any medications and I lost my other furry soulmate just years earlier to heart disease. Wasn't going to happen with my Caruso! Anyway, I first found Young At Heart on Chewy's and used that for 6 months. (Liquid drops) Then I read about missing ingredients in grain free foods. He can only have grain free or he gets an upset tummy and that's not fun. So I started him on this for the past 2 weeks I have a big fat cat. Well, he's big boned.

I do the 14 drops (he weighs about 15lbs) for breakfast and 14 drops for dinner. I use Vetriscience capsules-break them open and put on food. Now, I have to warn you. He HATES the smell of these capsules, so I have to mix dry chicken over it. We went to the cardiologist today and I'm happy to report that he heart is the same and hasn't gotten worse! I'm hoping with this regime, that it'll stay this way. I highly recommend these 2 products. … more

This product was recommended by my vet in January because my senior dog can only tolerate Grain Free foods and his heart enzymes were elevated. He just had a 3 month check up and is normal. I can tell his energy is better and he just looks younger. I truly believe this supplement has made a difference for his health. He's just a younger, happier dog. And he's 14 1/2.

My dog has stage 3.5 heart failure and is on 2 medications for it. Because of the fluid in his heart, he coughs. I can tell a different in the amount of coughs and how hard he coughs when he takes the supplement versus without.

This seems to be a great all around supplement for cardiac health. We use this instead of Pet Wellbeing YAH (also a great supplement) because it’s just nutritional support and can be taken with Vetmedin. We have a small chihuahua, so we just mix 1/4-1/3 capsule in her wet food which makes it last a long time.

My cat is 14 years old. Have been feeding him grain free food for years, and not just the stuff off the shelves, but I research and he gets the best out there. Out of the blue he started to eat less, wasn't himself. My son noticed he was breathing faster. He hates the vet, brought him in... Has a heart murmur, left lung has fluid all around, etc. Was given two prescriptions, both have helped. Back to eating well. But here's the thing, I could not figure out why some days he was much better than others. Then I realized it was these pills. I was only giving it to him on certain days because I had to open them up, and put some of it in a pill pocket. Total hassle and he didn't like it. Fast forward My cat is 14 years old.

Fast forward to just mixing into his food day and night. He's back to eating like a horse, more active, and I can tell that it's these supplements. Yes he will never recover, his heart is giving out, but these help a lot. … more

When my girl was diagnosed with CHF this was the supplement my vet recommended. I've seen a steady improvement in her symptoms, she's doing really good right now and that's all you can ask for with CHF. I can't imagine the time and expense of trying to figure out how to create this blend on my own, so I'm happy I can get it here for half the price.

I have 2 dobermans and the breed is predisposed to Cardiomyopathy. While they have both been tested and are negative for DCM1 & DCM2, it’s still a potential issue due to the grain-free foods not having enough taurine in them. I have noticed a vast improvement in their appetites, shinier coats and mor energy in both pups. Will definitely keep them on this supplement.

This has seemed to help my ten year old dog diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. He is still on meds twice daily, but I feel like this supplement has aided his recovery. His appetite is back and he wants to eat! Noticed a difference the first month. We are on the second bottle now.

I don’t know if they work but the dogs definitely eat them. I open the capsule and sprinkle on their food.

I have been giving this to my now 16 year old, 55 pound pit bull mix for about a year and a half now and it seems to help. Last year, he was breathing heavily when lying down at night and that has stopped since starting him on these pills. I give him two a day and just put in his food.
