Diet for cats with heart failure

  If your dog has congestive heart failure, their veterinarian may have recommended changes to their diet. Other chronic conditions may also be present which can affect your dog's diet. It's important to adhere to the new changes in your dog's diet as much as possible because this has a positive effect on their health. 


Dogs that have congestive heart failure tend to retain chloride, sodium and water. This is why it's important to limit the intake of sodium and chloride through your dog's food. 


It may be difficult to do this with a regular food that's designed for adult dogs. However, since approximately 1/3 of dogs over the age of 10 have heart problems it's relatively easy to find special diets that are formulated with less sodium chloride (salt).

A dog sensory garden should provide opportunities for dogs of all sizes to forage. Dog sensory gardens should also provide enough room for dogs to get exercise.  If a dog normally lives in a small apartment, their owner may regularly take them out for walks. However, the dog sensory garden helps  them to exercise in a different type of environment, where they're surrounded by plants that stimulate their senses. Even shy dogs like to explore and dog sensory gardens encourage them to do just that. These spaces help them to explore their environment in a safe way,  building their own ability to identify smells as they do so. They also learn to release stress when
