Educational Overview
What is Congestive Heart Failure?
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) occurs when the heart can no longer pump blood efficiently. As circulation slows, fluid begins to accumulate (“congestion”) in the lungs, abdomen, or chest cavity. CHF is not a disease itself — it is the result of underlying heart disease.
Common Causes:
-
Dogs: Mitral valve disease (especially small breeds), Dilated cardiomyopathy (larger breeds)
-
Cats: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
-
Congenital heart defects
-
Advanced heartworm (dogs)
Clinical Signs to Watch For:
Left-Sided Heart Failure (lungs affected):
Right-Sided Heart Failure (fluid buildup/ascites):
Emergency Signs (seek immediate care):
How It Is Diagnosed
-
Physical exam (heart murmur, abnormal lung sounds)
-
Chest X-rays
-
Echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart)
-
Blood pressure measurement
-
Blood testing (including cardiac biomarkers in some cases)

SET OF
Educational Purposes
Congestive heart failure can develop when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. One of the more recognised conditions linked with this is an “enlarged heart”, known as Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Pets with heart challenges may show signs such as reduced stamina, coughing, shortness of breath, weakness, or swelling of the abdomen or limbs. These symptoms arise as circulation becomes compromised and fluid balance is affected.
Natural, plant- and mineral-based support may be used alongside veterinary care to help maintain comfort, energy, and overall well-being.
Along with herbs traditionally used to improve fluid elimination such as Dandelion and Rosehips which are natural diuretics.

Formulated with plant-based ingredients selected for their gentle role in supporting overall balance and wellbeing.

Educational Context
Electrolyte balance is essential for hydration, cellular health, and circulation. Traditional mineral support formulas such as these have long been used with frequent repetition until the system feels restored. They are also considered complementary for supporting natural fluid distribution and assimilation.
Practitioner Notes
In cases of fluid imbalance such as pleural effusion, some practitioners suggest additional flavonoids like Rutin (commonly studied for its role in vascular health and circulation).
Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, has historically been associated with viral and microbial influences. Supporting resilience through natural approaches, alongside professional veterinary care, can be considered as part of a holistic plan.
Magnesium has been highlighted in modern studies for its role in regulating heart rhythm. Low magnesium levels may contribute to palpitations or irregular heartbeats, particularly at night when stress and fatigue amplify awareness of heart rhythm. Magnesium-rich foods or appropriate supplementation may help restore balance.
