Dogs with heart disease need heart-related drugs to treat them. Specific drugs must be prescribed by a doctor after examination. Heart problems are divided into two categories: congenital genetics and acquired diseases. Those with congenital diseases may die during the fetal period or shortly after birth. Those who survive will face long-term treatment with heart-related drugs.

There are many acquired causes, including being too fat, the dog being of advanced age, incorrect diet, and related heart diseases, such as heartworm and parasitic infections. A dog with a poor heart is prone to a high respiratory rate, panting, fatigue, and less exercise than a healthy dog. At the same time, excitement or excessive exercise can lead to difficulty breathing, cardiac arrest, or syncope.
