***Update***
My eldest died in August 5th, 2018...BUT My other dog has been in stable condition for two years now and his heart is very enlarged. It is a miracle and I attribute it to me taking him to the cardiologist early when his murmur was getting louder. He is on Pimobendan, Enalapril, and Spironolactone. 2 years ago he should have been gone maybe 6 months after but he is STABLE. It is a combination of the heart meds and this vitamin. This vitamin is amazing, I already have had 2 dogs use it in conjunction with the heart medications and they got better! I will never stop using these vitamins. They have given me additional time with my babies.
Okay, so our 10-year-old cat, Melvin, was diagnosed with HCM with CHF in mid-December of 2016. Very grim diagnosis based on echocardiogram. He was in bad shape. After careful research and vet-guided experimentation, his regimen has been prescribed doses of furosemide (Lasix) and diltiazem twice a day (morning and night). It's crucial to give these regularly, and luckily they are not expensive. We get ours at a regular (human) pharmacy. We also give him 1/4 of a non-generic 81mg "low dose" aspirin every other day (in the morning). We have found that the name brand low-dose aspirin is easier to cut with a pill cutter. If you don't have a pill cutter, get one along with some 7-day pill organizers (a clear organizer for morning and a darker-colored one for night). Cutters and organizers are available on Amazon. You'll be doing a lot of cutting and pill organizing with an HCM/CHF cat.
Anyway, on days where Melvin gets Lasix, diltiazem, AND aspirin, they are ALL able to fit in a size 4 clear empty gel capsule (also available on Amazon). We use the gel caps to give all medications, actually, because he has no trouble swallowing the size 4 caps (might be able to get away with size 3--just a tad bigger), and they will alleviate the bitter taste problem with ANY medication. We administer all pills with a pet pill gun (also available on Amazon). The pill gun is a godsend. You just confidently and quickly stick it back in your pet's mouth (wrap the cat in a towel if need be) and jam down the plunger. Boom! He doesn't even care about getting pills anymore. Quick and easy. No stress. We were unable to give pills before we discovered the empty gel caps trick and pill gun.
Okay...so the prescribed medicine regimen was working well, but he was still having some breathing issues. This Cardio Strength supplement took us the rest of the way it seems. This is a BIG supplement pill. Luckily Melvin will take it when you sprinkle it on his food and mix it in. I wouldn't try to give this one with a pill gun. It's really big. So hopefully your cat will take it sprinkled on wet food. Otherwise you might need to get creative--maybe by splitting up the supplement into smaller gel caps and giving a couple of times a day. We just sprinkle one whole capsule over Melvin's food, IAMS MaxCal, which is a prescription diet (available through Amazon and elsewhere). It has a low sodium content, which is important.
Mel is also an indoor-outdoor cat, and research has shown that the stress of not being able to go outside can really take a tool on an HCM cat. Our solution was to track him in real-time with the Pawtrack GPS collar designed specifically for cats (not yet available on Amazon, but it SHOULD BE). It's an incredible bit of technology at a very reasonable price. Cats with HCM are at risk of developing hind leg paralysis from thromboembolism. The aspirin is used to prevent this, but it's no guarantee. So, with Pawtrack we can track Mel and go to him if he seems to be in one spot for too long. I have tested this and and am able to get within 5-10 feet of him. When I get to where I think he is, I call him or activate the beeper, and there he is!!
But I digress. So far Cardio Strength seems to be helping our cat more than the prescribed medications alone. I wouldn't want to drop the prescribed medications, but the supplement seems to be providing the boost that allows Mel to enjoy a high quality of life, which is critically important for us. PLEASE talk to your vet, though, before giving any supplements!! We have our fingers crossed that our comprehensive treatment plan will help keep Mel around for as long as possible. Cardio Strength seems to be helping to put a spring back in his step, and that is quite a significant thing when you consider the grim prognosis he was given. So far, so good. We continue to hope for the best and are grateful for the boost he seems to be getting from Cardio Strength.
(10-03-2020) UPDATED NOTE: I’m not sure how, though the date of my original review was changed, not by me. What I am finding is a quality control or pre-shipment storage issue with this product. For the majority of my orders over a year, I have found the capsule to contain a dry powdery substance I sprinkle over food. The last bottle I ordered had a few dry capsules and majority were like a sticky goo inside. The bottle before this was about 50% usable. Generally, the bottle contains dry capsules down to the bottom, minus a few that might need to be tossed out. It is a shame for this inconsistency, because when the powder inside of the capsule is dry, it works. Though I can see the difference in my dog when the capsules are ready to toss. I’m dropping a star for declining quality of the last 2 bottles. I will try to order this from Amazon again, and will immediately request a replacement or a refund of I get another bad bottle. I may attempt a different merchant, and if that does not work, I will have a chat with my vet because I need this type of product but a different brand if this one is going down hill. Quality control and storage control please! (I am storing the bottles in the same place as always in my home and use a humidity monitor so I know the issue is not me.)
