What prescription dog heart and blood pressure medicine is best?

The best prescription heart and blood pressure medicine is the one your vet recommends for your dog’s condition. Commonly prescribed canine heart and BP medications include furosemide, digoxin and diltiazem. As with humans, heart disease can be treated using diuretics, adrenergics, arterial dilators or other drugs. Only your vet can properly diagnose canine heart disease and blood pressure problems, so seek expert advice and follow the prescribed regimen closely.

Which dog breeds are more likely to develop heart disease?

The dog breeds that are more likely to develop heart disease include Boston terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, chihuahuas, fox terriers, miniature pinschers, miniature and toy poodles and miniature schnauzers. Afghan hound, American cocker spaniel, boxer, Dalmatian, Doberman Pinscher and English bulldog breeds are also prone to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Regular checkups with your vet will help you detect and treat any heart issues your dog may have.

How do I take my dog's blood pressure?

You can take your dog’s blood pressure at home if you have an automatic veterinary blood pressure device with a cuff that’s appropriately sized for your dog. The only way to get a truly accurate and reliable reading, however, is to have your vet perform the measurement using their own, professional-grade equipment and expert technique. At-home monitoring may be recommended by your vet to monitor how well medication or treatment is working, and if so, you will be advised on what type of equipment to buy for this purpose.

A heart murmur is an abnormal turbulent blood flow sound your vet can hear when listening to the heart with a stethoscope. Heart murmurs can signal underlying issues like chronic valve disease which can cause congestive heart failure. Your vet can assess your dog’s cardiac health and suggest a course of action if a murmur is detected.
