NHV Hearty Heart is an effective, gentle, and natural herbal remedy that supports and maintains healthy heart function in dogs and cats. This heart supplement provides effective support for canine heart diseases and cardiovascular disorders.
Cardiovascular disease affects over 10% of all animals, and congestive heart failure affects 20-40% of dogs. The cardiovascular system is comprised of the heart, along with arteries and veins.
The Three Most Common Heart Conditions for Dogs

Once your dog is diagnosed with any heart issue, it will be a condition that persists for a lifetime. That is why taking care of your pet's heart with supplements that are vet-formulated and all-natural are so important.
