My Cavalier is prone to heart issues. Does she need heart supplements?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 6 years and 7 months old | 17 lbs

Hello, do you recommend any heart health supplements outside my dogs daily diet? She is on royal canin weight care. I'm hoping once she loses some weight I can transfer her to the cavalier diet. She is currently on fish oil, probiotics, and a joint pill. I wanted to know if you think it would be worthwhile to have her on some kind of a heart supplement, as she is a cavalier and she is prone to heart issues. Thank you.

A heart supplement wouldn’t hurt but she probably doesn’t necessarily need one, particularly if she does not have documented heart disease. If you choose to use a supplement I would recommend VetriScience Cardio. You should always check with your vet before starting any supplement.
