Standard Process Canine Cardiac Support | Heart Health For Dogs
I've been using Standard Process Canine Cardiac Support for a little over 5 years now. It took me awhile to try it because I thought "What could this powder do for patients with heart disease?" It turns out that the cardiovascular system is one of the most responsive systems to nutrition.
Heart disease puts extra stress on your dog's body. They need extra support to keep their heart strong. This collection of superfoods provides an abundant supply of minerals and vitamins needed for cardiac health.

I have seen the amazing results that this product can produce. It can have a quick beneficial response. I use it in ALL of my cardiac cases and it makes a big difference. I also use it daily for my little dog 'Jak' who is 18 years old and has had heart issues his whole life.

Dr. Candy's Pro-Tip: Small dogs often get heart murmurs in their senior years. This may display as cloudiness or confusion or almost dementia-like symptoms. It can also result in most of the time spent sleeping. I have seen many small dogs regain energy and playfulness when adding this heart support supplement. In some cases, this nutritional support may reduce the progression of those heart murmur conditions.

- Support optimal cardiac function
- Support normal function of the muscle-cells*
Indications for Use:

- Patients with increased cardiac demand or conditions that increase cardiac workload
How to Administer
Dose Schedule:Based on body weight, the canine patient should receive the canine formula powder according to the following recommendations, or as otherwise directed.
Special Information:
A 1/8 tsp scoop is included with the small canine powder bottles, and a 1/2 tsp scoop is included with the large canine powder bottles.
Since these supplements are made from super foods, they are very "rich". This allows us to use small doses, but sometimes when adding a brand new savory food pets can experience a soft stool for 12-24 hours. This situation balances itself but I have found that using a gradual taper greatly reduces the chance of loose stool.

Questions & Answers
Since these nutritional supplements are made from food, there is little to no risk of side effects. The only side effect I’ve ever seen is diarrhea if the pet gets a gigantic dose. For example, if a pet eats a whole bottle. If I had a dollar for every time one of my pets ate a whole bottle, I’d have a pretty full piggy bank. Since pets love these products so much, we recommend keeping them in a cabinet or someplace that your pet cannot get to.
