Pet Heart Health: Facts

November 1, 2020 by Regina Clarke

How well do you know your pet? If you want to know them inside out, here are 10 interesting facts about your pet’s heart health.

1. Of all mammals, dogs have the largest hearts in relation to their bodies.

2. Cats have the most rapid heartbeats compared to dogs and humans, with 140 to 220 bpm. Dogs have 60 to 140 bpm, while humans have 60 to 100.

3. Although heart disease is a major concern for most pets, having your vet screen your pet with a stethoscope twice a year should spot any abnormalities nice and early.

4. Studies have shown the expressing love to your pets can result in a longer lifespan. Not only that, but pet-lovers have less stress and fewer heart attacks on average.

5. While you might think that people and animals have completely different diseases and ailments, we suffer from the exact same problems for the most part. Dogs and humans share over 400 health issues.

6. Due to how efficient cats and dogs are at digesting fat, it’s very rare for them to suffer a heart attack as a result of a clogged artery. For humans, this is a relatively common concern.

7. The most dangerous issue facing cats with heart disease is leg paralysis. This can be caused by blood clots.

8. One of the best ways to reduce inflammation in your pet’s body is by feeding them fish oil. The Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil also prevent muscle loss.

9. Some of the best pet foods contain Taurine, an amino acid that improves heart function. Taurine deficiency is a common cause of weak hearts.

10. Another excellent way to improve your pet’s heart function is by feeding them enough protein. Since the heart is a muscle, protein will aid heart function considerably.
