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.
More About Canine Cardiac Support
The heart is at the center of the cardiovascular system, which is a complex, coordinated group of organs and tissues. Nutritional support for the cardiovascular system also includes the other organs that support the heart such as the liver, kidneys, and digestive system.
Canine Immune System Support provides nutrients that:
- Support optimal cardiac function
- Support normal function of the muscle-cells*
Indications for Use:
- General cardiac support
- 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.
Caution: This product is processed in a facility that manufactures other products containing soy, milk, egg, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.
Please consult the actual product label for the most accurate product information.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
What our patients say:
I have used Standard Process’s products for almost ten years with all my Boston Terriers and I can say that they truly work. The Canine Cardiac Formula has helped with my 13 year old who has a grade 3 heart murmur. She was just recently put on heart medications but this heart support powder gave us almost another year before we had to conventionally treat her. Currently we are still giving this to her with the traditional medicine and she is doing great! Sassy as ever! Highly recommend!

Our female whippet was prescribed Canine Cardiac Support for her heart murmur. We have used previous products by Standard Process and Journey's Holistic Life is by far the best company that we have dealt with for Canine Cardiac Support. Love the auto-ship so we don't have to remember to order every month!

Our 14 year old furbaby was diagnosed a year ago with a heart murmur. We immediately found a holistic vet that put her on this. Before she started taking this, she seemed to stay tired. After about a week, maybe week and half. She started to pick her pace up, seemed to be sleeping better and feeling better too.

This stuff really works. My 15 year old chihuahua was dying from chf and wasn’t responding to meds. I took her off the meds and started giving her canine support along with hawthorn/dandelion extract and a sodium free home made dog food. This product helped her tremendously. It has been 22 months since she was diagnosed and is doing way better. Typically a dog with chf will live only 4-14 months after diagnosis. She is about to make it to the 2 year mark. Worth every penny!!!

Our 14 yr. Old boxer pit mix was slowing down and noticed her coughing due to her heart. We researched and found this product as we love Standard Process products. In just a few days of using this product, we noticed our baby had more energy and wasn’t coughing. She loves the taste and she is picky. I would definitely purchase this if your baby is having heart troubles. The ingredients are excellent too!!! Thank you Standard Process for always producing quality products!!!

Questions & Answers
What are the side effects of Canine Cardiac Support?
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.
How much Canine Cardiac Support should my dog take?
