Congestive Heart Failure, or CHF, is a major killer of dogs, cats, and ferrets. CHF happens when the heart is unable to sufficiently pump blood, which means that the rest of the body's organs and tissues don't receive enough blood to be able to function properly. Congestive Heart Failure cannot be cured, but it can be treated to help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life. The earlier that we can catch the disease, the quicker we can start treating it to help your pet have a better quality of life. CHF cannot be prevented, but there are things that you, as the owner, can do to help reduce your pet's risk such as making sure your pet doesn't get obese, or if he or she is obese, putting your pet on a weight loss program. Call us today, and see how we can help you and your pet to live a longer healthier life.
