Review: My dog has been taking this for years for her mitral valve disease. Good product but expensive. Please make it more affordable Review: If you're a cat owner, you're probably looking into this because your cat was just diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), probably with congestive heart failure (CHF). You're devastated. And you're probably desperate for info. I'll describe our experience here, including the role of VetriScience Labs Cardio Strength (later in this review). It's a bit of a long story, but bare with me. Hopefully the info will help you and your cat. Okay, so our 10-year-old cat, Melvin, was diagnosed with HCM with CHF in mid-December of 2016. Very grim diagnosis based on echocardiogram. He was in bad shape. After careful research and vet-guided experimentation, his regimen has been prescribed doses of furosemide (Lasix) and diltiazem twice a day (morning and night). It's crucial to give these regularly, and luckily they are not expensive. We get ours at a regular (human) pharmacy. We also give him 1/4 of a non-generic 81mg "low dose" aspirin every other day (in the morning). We have found that the name brand low-dose aspirin is easier to cut with a pill cutter. If you don't have a pill cutter, get one along with some 7-day pill organizers (a clear organizer for morning and a darker-colored one for night). Cutters and organizers are available on desertcart. You'll be doing a lot of cutting and pill organizing with an HCM/CHF cat. Anyway, on days where Melvin gets Lasix, diltiazem, AND aspirin, they are ALL able to fit in a size 4 clear empty gel capsule (also available on desertcart). We use the gel caps to give all medications, actually, because he has no trouble swallowing the size 4 caps (might be able to get away with size 3--just a tad bigger), and they will alleviate the bitter taste problem with ANY medication. We administer all pills with a pet pill gun (also available on desertcart). The pill gun is a godsend. You just confidently and quickly stick it back in your pet's mouth (wrap the cat in a towel if need be) and jam down the plunger. Boom! He doesn't even care about getting pills anymore. Quick and easy. No stress. We were unable to give pills before we discovered the empty gel caps trick and pill gun. Okay...so the prescribed medicine regimen was working well, but he was still having some breathing issues. This Cardio Strength supplement took us the rest of the way it seems. This is a BIG supplement pill. Luckily Melvin will take it when you sprinkle it on his food and mix it in. I wouldn't try to give this one with a pill gun. It's really big. So hopefully your cat will take it sprinkled on wet food. Otherwise you might need to get creative--maybe by splitting up the supplement into smaller gel caps and giving a couple of times a day. We just sprinkle one whole capsule over Melvin's food, IAMS MaxCal, which is a prescription diet (available through desertcart and elsewhere). It has a low sodium content, which is important. Mel is also an indoor-outdoor cat, and research has shown that the stress of not being able to go outside can really take a tool on an HCM cat. Our solution was to track him in real-time with the Pawtrack GPS collar designed specifically for cats (not yet available on desertcart, but it SHOULD BE). It's an incredible bit of technology at a very reasonable price. Cats with HCM are at risk of developing hind leg paralysis from thromboembolism. The aspirin is used to prevent this, but it's no guarantee. So, with Pawtrack we can track Mel and go to him if he seems to be in one spot for too long. I have tested this and and am able to get within 5-10 feet of him. When I get to where I think he is, I call him or activate the beeper, and there he is!! But I digress. So far Cardio Strength seems to be helping our cat more than the prescribed medications alone. I wouldn't want to drop the prescribed medications, but the supplement seems to be providing the boost that allows Mel to enjoy a high quality of life, which is critically important for us. PLEASE talk to your vet, though, before giving any supplements!! We have our fingers crossed that our comprehensive treatment plan will help keep Mel around for as long as possible. Cardio Strength seems to be helping to put a spring back in his step, and that is quite a significant thing when you consider the grim prognosis he was given. So far, so good. We continue to hope for the best and are grateful for the boost he seems to be getting from Cardio Strength. ## Features - Heart Support for Pets: Our unique, dual-species formula makes this heart health supplement a perfect and affordable option for multi-pet homes looking for daily heart health support for both dogs and cats - Omega-3 Heart Supplement: Omega Healthy Heart is formulated with EPA and GLA, essential Omega-3 fatty acids, to help manage inflammation, triglyceride levels, and blood pressure levels - Vitamins for Heart Health: Made with Omegas, taurine, CoQ10, Carnitine, and heart-healthy vitamins and minerals to offer powerful cardio strength support for both dogs and cats - Senior Heart Health Supplement: The ingredients in Omega Healthy Heart make this supplement particularly beneficial for senior or geriatric pets, who may need increased cardiac support and all the benefits provided by essential Omega fatty acids - Easy-Open Capsules: Convenient, unflavored, easy-open capsules make this taurine and omega heart supplement simple to administer to dogs and cats, with meals or disguised in pill-hiding treats ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0015IO8TA | | Active Ingredients | cellulose,folic acid,vitamin e | | Allergen Information | Yam Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,915 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #166 in Dog Supplements & Vitamins | | Brand Name | VETRISCIENCE | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,114) | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Vegetable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00026664163196 | | Included Components | 90ct Bottle | | Item Form | Capsule | | Item Type Name | Dog Cardiovascular Support | | Item Weight | 0.22 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Vetri-Science Laboratories | | Manufacturer Part Number | 0900631.090 | | Model Number | 0900631.090 | | Product Benefits | Heart Health | | Specific Uses For Product | Heart | | Target Species | Dog | | UPC | 884962536278 026664163196 | | Unit Count | 90 Count | ## Product Details - **Active Ingredients:** cellulose,folic acid,vitamin e - **Brand:** VETRISCIENCE - **Flavour:** Vegetable - **Item form:** Capsule - **Item weight:** 100 g ## Images ![VETRISCIENCE - Cardio Strength, Cardiovascular and Circulatory Support Supplement for Dogs and Cats, 90 Capsules - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PAmKKh-bL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Has anyone used these by themselves (without also using furosemide) and seen real results, like reduced hacking from CHF?** A: I noticed improvement with the "hacking" coughing of phelm afterstarting verti-science. He still has the hacking with activity or excitment. My dog was diagonosed (chihuahua age 9) 2012 murmur heard 2/6 echo showed mild regurgitation of valve. 2012 I read the reviews and started verti-science cardio strentgh. He also has tracheal malacia.. 2014 mummur heard by the vet reported to be 3-4/. I repeat echo showed mimimal progression no cardiac meds recommended by cardiologist vet in 2014. I did see a new vet he surggested Lasix once to twice a day to see if it decreased the "hacking" coughing. He still has this coughing with activity although I believe the vetri-science has helped him and I would recommend you starting this to try to slow or decrease the needs for cardiac meds that may require blood work. Good Luck **Q: Why are the ingredients different in the capsules and chews? Which one is more effective?** A: My dog's cardiologist and I went through an item-by-item comparison of the capsules and chews. He didn't feel there was a big difference between the two; but recommended the Chew more often, because it was easier for most dog to take. The capsule DOES NOT contain Arginine, Hawthorn extract, and HC1. The Chew does not contain EPA, GLA, Selenium, Vitamin E. Both contain Taurine which is what my dog needed. My dog happily take the capsule smeared with a little bit of plain yogurt twice daily. Her check ups have been outstanding! Good luck. **Q: What is the mg on this bottle? 5mg per pill?** A: All the components are listed by mg and iu, such as 250 mg each of L-Carnitine and L-Taurine, the 2 most important etc., not mg for each capsule. Directions state for cats, 1 capsule daily and for dogs, 1 capsule per 30 lbs. of body weight daily. I suggest contacting Vetri Science, either online at www.vetriscience.com or by phone at 1-800-882-9993, for further info. I've done so and they have replied and been helpful. **Q: How do I avoid having the powder inside the capsule turn damp?** A: Some bottles come that way and some don't. It is a pain to dig out if your dog is not big enough to take the capsule but if you totally want to avoid that then I would suggest the chews. The chews are more expensive but every bottle of capsules comes with a dry absorb and still some are damp and some aren't. It's basically a crap hoot as to what you get but I believe in the product for it ha helped my dogs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***N on 23 January 2022* My dog has been taking this for years for her mitral valve disease.

I have a 12 tear old male Pomeranian that developed a heart murmur and a cough, so I took him to the vet and he said its the start of congestive heart failure.. He recommended a heart ecg and bunch of drugs, said I would get back to him. I am a natural health care practioner so right away I researched what he needed and found this product. The first time I ordered 2 bottles and gave my boy pom one capsule per day and his sister as well even though there was no signs of heart fauilure with her. The coughing almost disappeared within 2 weeks except for when he gets real excited like when someone comes to the door. 3 months later its time for a check up, so right away he checks his heart and I see him moving his stethoscope around his chest and he stops and says that's weird his heart is normal no more murmur I have never seen that before. I told him about the vetriscience that I was giving him. This vet is not into alternate meds at all but he wanted to know what I was using, he said I cant deny the results of you using it. I now only give him one every 2 days and all is good. Thanks for a fantastic product.
