This week the world is celebrating love with Valentine’s Day. We’re sure you’ve seen the boxes of chocolates, Valentines, and cupids by now. They remind us to be grateful and celebrate the love in our lives whether it's from partners, family, friends, or pets. But seeing red and pink hearts everywhere can also remind us of something else: heart health. And when it comes to pets, keeping their heart healthy is very important. Some treats can have a positive effect on your pet’s health, so let’s talk about it! Let’s look at Heart Health Pet Treats for Valentine’s Day!
Why Pet Heart Health is Important
Did you know that just over 10% of animals have some form of cardiovascular disease? This includes heart disease, arrhythmias, stenosis, and many, many more. Some pets may have heart abnormalities and their owners don’t even know! That’s why it is important to have regular check ups with your vet, and keep a close eye on your pet’s wellbeing. Even if your pet doesn’t have any known heart problems, keeping their heart strong and healthy is always the best way to prevent anything from developing in the future.
Omegas for Heart Health
When considering treats to help improve your pet’s heart health, consider treats and foods with Omega Fatty Acids.
Omega fatty acids are known to help boost and maintain cat and dog’s heart health. It can reduce inflammation, and help protect against irregular heartbeats. Studies also show that Omega-3 Fatty Acids can help dog’s prevent cardiac disease, similar to how it does with humans.
