Hawthorn & Dandelion

Hawthorn & Dandelion was developed to strengthen your pet's heart and improve circulation, and it can also be used as a diuretic.

Heart Disease In Dogs

Of all the dogs in the United States examined annually by a veterinarian, approximately 3.2 million have some form of acquired heart disease and may be in heart failure.

The common heart diseases suffered by dogs often lead to heart failure. Dogs will generally suffer what is called Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), a relatively slow worsening of symptoms as the heart struggles to compensate for whatever defect or disease is present. As the condition develops, it will affect all other organs in the body that rely on the efficient supply of nutrient-rich blood.

There are two common types of heart disease in canines:

• Type One, where the dog's heart valves lose their ability to close properly, causing abnormal blood flow
• Type Two, where the muscular walls of a dog's heart become thinned and weakened.

Both will develop gradually over time resulting in the same serious condition known as heart failure.

Heart failure can happen to dogs of all ages. In young dogs, this is typically the result of congenital abnormalities in the formation of the heart or the blood vessels that surround it. In older animals, it is usually a case in which one side or chamber is weakened or overworked due to altered circulatory patterns.

Although some of the early stages of heart failure in dogs have no visible signs, heart failure can be diagnosed through a clinical evaluation by a veterinarian.

Dogs with mild to moderate heart failure exhibit:

• heart enlargement
• lethargy
• difficulty in breathing
• elevated blood pressure
• pulmonary edema which causes the dog to cough in order to try to clear the lungs.

Dogs with severe heart failure have all of the above symptoms, as well as :

• weakness
• difficulty in breathing, even while at rest
• fainting
• a profound intolerance to exercise
• loss of appetite
• weight loss.

Heart Disease In Cats

The most common type of heart disease in felines is HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy). HCM is a heart disorder in which the left wall of the heart grows and thickens.

Symptoms of HCM are most frequently seen in young and middle-aged male cats, usually before the age of five to six years, but have been recorded in cats as young as eight months and as old as 16 years.

Symptoms could include one or several of the following:

• lack of appetite
• increased weariness / lethargy
• less activity
• difficulty in breathing
• gagging
• weight loss
• coughing.

Another serious symptom is hind limb pain or paralysis, which results from a blood clot within the distal aorta, back in the rear limbs where the aorta splits.

You should contact a vet immediately if you notice these symptoms.

Never give your cat aspirin or paracetamol without first having consulted a vet! Adizone-C for Felines can help your cat with some of these symptoms.

Prevention Of Heart Disease

There are few things that can be done to prevent heart disease. Diagnosing the disease earlier in its course is very helpful in slowing the progression.

Notify your veterinarian of any signs of heart failure in your pet. Keeping your pet healthy and at his ideal weight can lessen the severity of symptoms if heart disease does occur.

Good oral health is also important.

Ingredients

Hawthorn & Dandelion contains:

• Dandelion - Research has shown that it works well as a diuretic, but the mechanism for its work is not understood. Research in Germany showed that it helped to detoxify the body and stimulate the production of bile by the gallbladder.
  
  Dandelion helps with water retention, regulation of blood glucose, upset stomach, urinary tract infections, kidney and bladder stones, liver and gallbladder complaints, and loss of appetite.
• Hawthorn - Modern research has proven hawthorn to be more valuable as an herb to treat cardiovascular problems and promote a healthy heart. It causes more blood flow to reach the muscles of the heart.
  
  Hawthorn can also help to reduce the incidence of angina, which is a spasm of the blood vessels, improve the smooth muscle walls of the rest of the circulatory system, improve blood pressure, improving circulation and treating symptoms of mild heart failure, decreasing the occurrence of chest pain, reducing atherosclerosis, and helping with trouble sleeping. Hawthorn will not stop an angina attack.
  
  Hawthorn is an herbal product. It works by widening blood vessels, especially heart blood vessels, which results in increased heart blood flow.
• Alcohol - To bring out the properties in the herbs and preserve the tincture.
• Distilled Water

How Long Will It Last?
