Diet for Dogs with Heart Disease | Dr. Moliya’s Vet-Approved Plan

Nourishing Canine Hearts Naturally – Vet-Approved Diet for Dogs with Heart Disease

Recognizing the need for balanced nutritional therapy, Dr. Moliya’s Heart Support Diet focuses on restoring heart health through science-based nutrition, natural ingredients, and precise nutrient ratios that protect and strengthen the canine cardiovascular system. Heart disease is not just a human condition — our beloved dogs can suffer from it too. Conditions like congestive heart failure (CHF), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and valvular heart disease are increasingly common, especially in aging or large-breed dogs.

This plan serves as a vet-approved diet for dogs with heart disease, designed to nourish the heart and improve overall vitality.

Why Heart Health Matters in Dogs? (Why a Special Diet for Dogs with Heart Disease Matters)

The heart is a muscle — and like all muscles, it needs energy, oxygen, and specific nutrients to function efficiently. When heart performance declines, dogs may experience:

• Fatigue and low exercise tolerance
• Coughing or shortness of breath
• Fluid buildup (ascites or edema)
• Weight loss and reduced appetite

A targeted heart-supportive diet can slow disease progression, reduce symptoms, and improve your dog’s quality of life.

A targeted, low-sodium diet for dogs with heart disease can slow disease progression, reduce symptoms, and improve your dog’s quality of life.

The Philosophy Behind Dr. Moliya’s Heart Support Diet

Dr. Moliya’s formula emphasizes nutritional therapy as the first line of defense. The key principles are:

1. Low sodium – Reduces fluid retention and lowers cardiac stress.
2. High-quality protein – Maintains muscle without overburdening the kidneys.
3. Optimal taurine and carnitine – Supports myocardial (heart muscle) strength.
4. Omega-3 fatty acids – Anti-inflammatory action improves heart rhythm and vascular function.
5. Balanced electrolytes – Controls potassium and magnesium to prevent arrhythmias.
6. Antioxidants and B-vitamins – Combat oxidative stress and boost energy metabolism.

The Best Diet for Dogs with Heart Disease — What It Includes

Core Components of the Heart Support Diet

Homemade Heart Support Diet Plan (Example) Sample Heart-Support Meal Plan (Homemade & Natural)

Morning:

• Boiled chicken breast (no salt)
• Steamed pumpkin and green beans
• A few drops of fish oil

Evening:

• White fish or turkey mince
• Cooked quinoa or brown rice
• Small portion of spinach or carrots

Weekly Add-Ons:

• Taurine (250–500 mg daily for medium dogs, as advised by vet)
• Coenzyme Q10 supplement
• Vitamin E capsule (under veterinary guidance)

 Always consult your veterinarian before adding supplements — nutrient needs vary by breed, age, and disease stage.

 Feeding Tips

• Avoid high-sodium foods (processed treats, cheese, ham).
• Feed small, frequent meals to reduce cardiac workload.
• Maintain healthy body weight — obesity worsens heart conditions.
• Ensure hydration with clean, fresh water.
• Regular exercise — gentle walks to support circulation and prevent muscle wasting.

Together, these steps sustain a healthy low-sodium diet for dogs with heart disease long term.

Veterinary Supervision

While diet is powerful, heart disease management requires teamwork between owner, vet, and nutritionist.
Routine checks should include:

• Chest X-ray or ultrasound
• Blood pressure and kidney function tests
• Periodic electrolyte monitoring

Such monitoring keeps this vet-approved diet for dogs with heart disease balanced and safe as your dog ages.
