The mainstays of a good low-sodium diet may be fresh beef, pork, chicken, bland macaroni and/or low-sodium. Do not give “dog snacks.” A good diet is 1/4-pound ground round or other lean beef, 2 cups cooked white rice without salt, add a tablespoon vegetable oil, and one tablet of Pet-Cal supplement.


What foods are good for a dog's heart?

Whole Grains- Brown rice, oats, barley, buckwheat, and quinoa are all grains I formulate recipes with regularly. Not only do these grains provide much-needed nutrients for our dog's hearts, but they also are a great source of minerals such as manganese and magnesium.

Do dogs stop eating with congestive heart failure?

Pets with heart disease can lose their appetites or become picky eaters. Many owners of pets with heart disease find that their dog or cat's overall intake of food decreases. Your pet's food preferences also may change. This might be the result of worsening heart disease or side effects of certain medications.

Are eggs OK for dogs with heart disease?

While the cholesterol in eggs may be harmful to us, it doesn't have the same effect on your dog. They don't suffer from those cholesterol-related diseases that we do. So your dog can enjoy the whole egg, and if you're giving him too much, you'll notice the weight gain long before any other health issues arise.
