How is heart disease treated in dogs?

Answer by  Puddle (25)

To treat heart disease in dogs the amount of blood flow to the heart must be increased. This is possible through diet and exercise, but for more serious cases surgery may be required. Fluid retention is common in heart disease, proper diet can help decrease the amount of fluid which causes pressure on the dogs lungs and abdomen.
