My 12 year old lab is in her final stage of heart disease and I gave her Hawthorne and dandelion root and it took all the coughing away but now nothing is going to be able to help waiting for the moment then I'll have the vet come to bethe house thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving us another almost year with our beloved penny Lane
Our beloved pet passed away on Family Day. He was 14 years. He had DCM. We tried everything that was available to us but his heart failed. We miss him terribly but at least he is not in pain and he knows we tried anything and everything to save him.
It is time for my best friend to go to heaven. Chf, she is my service dog. I am not getting another 65 i am alone so i will pass quickly with out her. God bless my little angle. She saved my life for 10 years. 🐾🐾❤️
May I ask why won’t you get another service dog?…. You said she saved your life, and she is now at the end of hers, she dedicated her life to your health, living your best life now will be the best gift for her. Life is worth living. 🙏
My dog was diagnosed with congestive heart failure last spring. He couldn’t tolerate the diuretic so I had to stop it. He has been on Vetmedin and after watching this video, i added a tincture of hawthorn and dandelion. Yesterday his X-ray showed no fluid in his lungs and his lungs actually look better than last year. His breathing rate remains within normal range. Of course the vetmedin has helped but I think the dandelion and hawthorn has contributed to his heart health. The vet was not impressed by my adding the tincture but with results like this, I don’t really care.
This is really interesting. I've had a few heart dog issues ...dog heart issues lol...and I've used vetmedin. It's super expensive here, but does seem to help. Will remember your experience as well. Thanks for sharing. Very helpful
The best thing you can give your dog for heart disease it's called pet wellbeing young at heart drops it has saved my chihuahua was diagnosed with heart disease and Lyme's disease 5 years ago all the medicine I had her on was actually making her worse and she's only a 3 lb Chihuahua she is still with me playing and going strong this is a miracle I would recommend this to anyone that has a dog or cat with heart disease
@@vida8359 absolutely her heart meds and a couple other things they gave her my little Chihuahua actually made her heart race and she wasn't well I had her on so many things and then I tried that well-being young at heart and it's awesome
I lost my last beloved Boston in 2017, out of nowhere he collapsed in April of 2017. On Xray that day he was diagnosed with an extremely enlarged heart. Rimadyl the gold standard heart drug almost killed him, he was allergic. He died 6 months later. I wish I had known of this, but glad I do now. Thank you Dr. Jones.
@@VeterinarySecrets Dr. Jones thank you. The nail in my heart was my 6 pound 4 year old Chihuahua died 30 days later, a ruptured colon from a tiny stem. She must have got it outside as I keep no plants. I'm still not past 2 deaths in 30 days.💔
@@momof4bostons So sorry for your losses. I am in the same boat. Lost one dog in June, 3 months later lost another now going through radiation for another with cancer. It is very heart breaking.
Hi Bonny and Jen. I lost my Laby ,Benson just over a year ago and I still cry for him. He had cancer and I used cbd oil . He was in remission but died of heart failure. So Jen , look at cbd oil , it works. And dr Andrew , thank you for your channel
@@LucyLane07 We did use it but didn't do much good. We still use it for our current dog with cancer. We did find a new cutting edge possibility. Fidocure is fairly new. They take a sample of the biopsy and formulates a therapy to fight the cancer specifically to that exact cancer string. We just gave them the ok to take the sample. It's expensive but worth a try. I would do any thing for my babies. It's a last resort thing. So sorry for your loss. Benson and Boston will be in my prayers.
Excellent advice! I grow hawthorn trees and I gather dandelion every spring and dry it. I dry the berry, then grind it into a powder. I add the two powders to the homemade food.
Hi there. When you grow hawthorn trees can you specify the hawthorn shown in this video? Its not the Hawthorn I know and the one that contains the medicinal properties Hawthorn is known for. Thank you!
Thank you for this, Dr Jones; you are a gift to the animals and their friends. It made me cry to watch this, though, because it came too late for my most-loved cat, who died from congestive heart failure in 2013. I hope others will at least try it to save their loved ones' lives.
Thank you. His fraternal twin is still here and disgustingly healthy compared with me! Non-GMO food (lesson learned when he got sick and refused to eat GMOs anymore) and your Ultimate Feline give him what he needs to stay playful and beautiful..

@@VeterinarySecrets Hi thank you so much for all of this amazing info. Question do you do phone consultations? Paid of course! Also any suggestions on brands or where to get hawthorne berry Cbd tincture Coenzyme Q1mg Fish oil Dandelion leaf Nettle tea And which of the above is an absolute must and Ive watched multiple of your videos on this topic specifically so Im not sure we should do all the above...so which combo is safest? Thank you! 🙏😊
Too late for my baby. She was on Lasix and Benazapril. The hawthorn would have been a safer alternative to Vetmedin. One month on Vetmedin, she developed plural effusion. The doc drained it, but her heart was done. She died the next morning. I sure did love that Koko. She was a dachshund and would have been 14 on July 6th.
my dog was 14 he was an American bully when I took him into vets they gave him oxygen.there was a spot on his liver or spleen they didn't know if it was a tumor or what it was he had had. seizure while out on a walk. I rushed him first to my vet then out to a supposed sister clinic to have surgery and the place said they couldn't see him so I had to take him to another vet in the area.he was up and walking around but the doctor said she could not hear his heart beat so she gave him a shot of 50 mg furosemide.after that he was walking and fell.i just collapsed took him home to let him rest and an hour before we were going to the 4th vet mind you (they didn't know what he had it was pleural effusion what I think was hepatic encelapothy and he had enlarged heart he was doing great on hawthorn taurine coq10 dandelion etc but he needed abdominostensis for ascites and one doctor just drained a bit and said he had to go home,)he was still walking but stopped eating and died that evening.I am so devastated I had told the doctor he doesn't like pharmaceuticals as he doesn't do well on them and they literally wrote that on his paperwork!! who does that? I have his remains and I am still devastated I want to rescue another couple of dogs I'm just so sickened because I rely on these doctors to help have to sit here and guess whether he had portosystemic shunt or cancer or mycotoxins.before that his doctor said he had Cushings his current vet said no
I have a 9yr old girl who has a grade 3 heart murmur. I ordered her some hawthorn berries and some taurine today. Thank you so much for doing these educational videos.
Mix some vinegar drops in his water . Put castor oil wrap around his heart … Giv some activated charcoal ( acc to weight ) And pumpkin seed powder , moringa powder in his diet ( just veggies , n these for 3-4 days !!! N see t chnage !!! If it works do it after 1-2 days again ( depends if ur dog seems happy , moving )
Unfortunately, my dog developed a stage one heart murmur due to her teeth being cleaned and the anesthesia was too long and caused her to have a stage one heart murmur! Very sad indeed!! Thank you so much! Susan from Canada!...PS: What would the dose be for a 4 pound Yorkie girl who has been spayed ..... she is not on any medications atm!!! No coughing either....God bless you!!!
I knew from the off that you'd be talking about Hawthorn. My late, very beloved little whippet had heart disease from young. He coughed, esp at night and brought up fluid. So i put him on hawthorn leaf, stem and berry extract, and the coughing ended.only the few times i run out, within a few days he'd be coughing with fluid, and unable to do his daily 100 metre sprint he loved to do. He was almost 11 when he left us, and that was down to pancreatitis our vet had missed in tests. Had i known, I'd have treated him naturally for that. He was suddenly acutely ill and i was told he couldn't be saved during an exploratory operation. But hawthorn makes the heart stronger and is the best remedy. My boy never had to take medication. Hawthorn and fish oil. Thank you for telling people about this, as i do as often as i can.
I had a feeling, too, he was going to mention Hawthorne. I love this video..very informative for dog owners...but my 10 yo kitty was just diagnosed with CHF and is starting 2 meds..diuretic and blood thinner. I'd much rather have her try Hawthorne with Fish oil. I myself take both! Does the Hawthorne help to decrease the fluids in CHF cats? And, If so, what about the alcohol in the tincture..can you give them glycerin? Do you slowly add the Hawthorne, watch the heartbeat, and then slowly decrease the others? Anyone know? Does this sound about right? Ty. Why should I risk her good functioning kidneys? Ty Denise
@@denigrif3 I'm sorry about your cat. I don't have experience with cats, only dogs. The hawthorn extract i used was in powder form by Swanson. They use whole leaf, stem and berry. I wouldn't use a liquid extract with alcohol for my dogs, esp not daily. I gave my 11kg whippet - and they don't have much body mass, so whippets need a bit less of things, in general, unless they are regularly exercising and have large muscles - 1 x 500 mg of Swanson powder in capsule extract, daily. That worked for him.
@@angelanicholson951 ty...I like Nature's Way ..myself..Hawthorne is wonderful! I guess I would need to consult with someone about transitioning her and daily dosage. Did you give him a little bit in his food am and pm?
As always, great info. I have 2 dogs who have heart disease. My 16.5 year old Pomeranian Poodle has a heart murmur and my 16 year old Bichon Poodle has fits of coughing from time to time. I will definitely take your advice to heart and buy some Hawthorne Tincture. Thank you! Also, we were at the vet's the other day because my 16.5 yr old has a Peripheral Odontogenic Fibroma on his lower right jaw near his tongue. He's also showing some cognitive behavior but still eats well and playful. The vet recommended Gabapentin oral suspension for possible pain with arthritis etc.... we decided to hold off because of the side effects. She also recommended some Melatonin to help him sleep at night because he was getting my husband up 1-2 times to go outside in the middle of the night. I've been putting 5 drops of Hemp Seed Oil in his dinner which you said was ok. Like you, I prefer the Holistic approach to health and well being.
It's always good to have options. Hope your dogs are feeling better. If you're intrested, I'll be having a FREE webinar this week. Feel free to join! www.thecbdsupplement.com/webinar/
Have you thought about cbd oil? It has been mentioned on this channel. My almost 18 year old cat seemed really at the end but I gave her broad spectrum cbd and she has picked up a lot and eating more. She also has kidney disease. Just a thought. From UK.
Great info. Thanks so much. I love your video's and your sense of humor and obvious love for your Pets and all animals. All Vets should be more like you.
You are such a good man sharing critical information with us all. We love love our sweet furry babies. When I could afford it, I would pay anything. These days is a little more challenging and I SO APPRECIATE YOUR INFO SO MUCH. Many thanks and blessings to you. I will find out how I can do more to give back to my beautiful vets who were kind enough to help me through a tough financial time (lost of job) with my furry baby. I would give up for myself( a BREAST cancer survivor) to give my kitties extra life... I must say a special thx to Lantus for giving an extra $100 off. You really should try to afford us FREE OR LOW COST type 1 diabetic care. Some of us wished we could have done more for more updated Lantus. PLEASE PLEASE HELP US FURRY LOVING CRITTERS.
I have a terrier mix with congestive heart failure. He’s almost 15 years old. He’s on 2 medications for it. I’ll have to give this a try. Thank you! Love your channel
All, you can also feed your pet chicken hearts as they contain the minerals and nutrients that a heart needs to be healthy. Hearts have taurine, potassium, magnesium, etc. that is often lacking in many processed pet foods. This works for people too. And since heart is a muscle, it tastes good.
@@Mr.Wonderfull Either. Cooking will destroy some nutrients but not the minerals or Taurine. It will help ensure that any possible bacteria is also killed off. Cheers.
Just left the vet with our ten week old kitten who has HCM? What would be the appropriate age to get her started on both hawthorn and dandelion? They only gave her Terramycin for her eyes, Clavamox and Cerenia nose drops but I want to give her the best chance at a healthier life. I’m incredibly grateful that you are here educating us on how to best do that for our babies. May you continue to be a light for those of us navigating this darkness that illnesses bring to our beloved family members. You are appreciated.🫶😭 Purrs head butts from Penrose sent your way.🐾❤️🥺
Thanks so much for the video my friend I will get me some Hawthorne tomorrow for my boys I have one that is nine years old and my oldest is jolog he is twelve years old and isn't doing well anymore he has severe arthritis and cancer and gets tired quick he will walk a little bit and stop for a few minutes and then he will walk a little more. He is the apple of my eye. God bless you my friend you are special.
Thank you very much for this video Dr. Just today we learned that our dog of 10 years has an enlarged heart, she has all the symptoms, you mentioned. First we will start with the medications the vet prescribed, afterwards I will continue with the Hawthrowe extract. Thank you again. 🥰🥰
Thank you Dr. Jones you're the best thanks for sharing just got the Hawthorne berry young at heart and the one you have it's good to know since medicine is so expensive here in California and a lot of vets charge so much for meds at their clinic. You are a life saver Dr. Jones
My Maltese x and weighs 4 kgs. Has heart murmur stage 4. He doesn't cough, his in good shape. His been on Hawthorne for near a year. He enjoys his walks. How can I be sure his been diagnosed correctly?
Keep sharing, always love your tips, has often helped me, my family and my pets and friends. Blessings. ps- all the dogs look great! Keep teaching. Also can you do a video on pine needle tea, it is so nutritious and I have used it on the family, 4 and 2 legged, and can you put in extra info for your videos the names and breed of each of your pet guests and any other links of video on just on them? It tells us so much about that breed.
So has my little guy for 2 years now. I also give him CoQ10, and CBD oil. Also blueberries are good for the heart, his favorite treat. Now I'm going to find him some Hawthorn tincture.
What signs did your pup exhibit prior to Vetmedin? How did they act afterward? My dog is 17, very strong heart, ran and played daily until my vet said he had a heart murmur. They put him on these meds and I'm honestly afraid they're hurting him. His heart is constantly racing now and he can't run or play anymore. They are telling me it's normal?! I want to get him off of these now and don't know what to do. He was very healthy before he started them 😢.
@@user-xt2rb3no5b it started with a murmur picked up during exam for my dogs too. Didn't start meds until later on, when it progressed to mitrial valve disease. They never suggested meds for just the murmur. Did your dog see a cardiologist before starting the meds? Mine did. For my guy the Vetmedin slowed his heart rate down. That's concerning if it's making your dog's heart race. Did they tell you to count their breaths per minute when resting?
My mother had congestive heart failure several years ago. I put her on some herbs and supplements (sadly I don't remember what they were for the most part) The most important one was Coq10. High doses work wonders and when I took her in a year or so later to get her ecg test, they couldn't find any trace of the chf. I know that hawthorne is amazing stuff for the heart. I sometimes take both of them to ensure my health as my doctor suspected at one time that I may have the chf as well.
our Coco got diagnosed with DCM today after she had a couple of fainting spells. We are heartbroken. She is 11 and half Doberman half Australian Shepard. The vet put her on Enalapril and Furosemide. Praying the meds give more time with her
My 13 year old Maltese has a level 4 heart murmur, his belly got bloated, needed to have it drained. The emergency vet was charging me $5,000 for diagnosis and meds. I cried and told him to only relieve his bloat. I was in agony as I had no money. I finally borrowed and went to a regular vet who put my dog on Vetmedin, enalapril and furosemide. My baby is better but when he gets too happy he faints and screams in pain. The Vetmedin is so expensive and the vet is terrible. She holds his rx hostage until I bring my dog into her office whenever she wants just so she can charge me her $88 dollar fee..Then she will give me the rx. She is draining me of money I don't have. I am scared of running out of his meds.
@@madelynhernandez7453 don't panic use Hawthorne and dandelion root in the palce of vetmedin and lasix . These are natural alternatives with cheaper price with no side effects
Thank you so much Doc. We follow you from Italy and are enthusiastic about your channel! Would using Hawthorne for our dog be good as prevention for any possible future heart failure? Our dog is 6 and a mix with German shepherd, 32kg's
Thank you for your service and kindness to animals. Does this help to calm down labored breathing related to a heart murmur? I am devastated this is happening to her. I ordered your other recommendations from your other video also: dandelion leaf tincture, CoQ10, fish oil, and nettle. She is not taking any Rx meds from the vet. Can the natural route be just as good?
Would like to know that also! It is obvious, he is a Wonderful and busy Vet! Awesome for him to do this for free for those of us that can barely afford the $300 plus Vet bill, more so, the $900+ if I would have done the echo and x-ray, labs, etc. The 300 was just visit and meds. My 10 obvious terrier/Italian greyhound mix is 18 years old and mainly doing palliative/comfort care...but did start the Vetmedin (pimobendan), got a B12 shot, antibiotic injection in case of infection, pain meds and Omeprozole for gastric acid and Entyice for appetite. Doing a little better. HATES med time...but still LOVES his walks. I will be a BASKETCASE and PROBABLY DIE TO WHEN I LOSE HIM!!! Hopefully, I will have a little comfort knowing he will be in Heaven at Rainbow Bridge, with his wife (My Jack Russell that I lost at 14 years old in 2018), waiting for me! I already started the 😥😥😥, when he has a little harder day!!! Best wishes to all here, God Bless you all and Doctor too!❤💞🙏
Pip wants a biscit-otti with her afternoon tea..... Thanks for the great info and thank Pippy for the big smile she gave me which may be the best medicine.
hi doctor, thank you so much for your videos I watch them alot my little poodle terrier age 13 is 10 lbs with level 4 heart disease and now he is having syncopal episodes even just walking upstairs ;( he gets dizzy goes around then collapses. He would be ok after but how I stop these poor baby wants to walk and go upstairs. He is very active and loves to go out now we cannot it's so sad. VEts gave me vetmedin twice a day but still nothing. I will take him to cardiologist but I jsut wanted to know is there anything to stop the syncopal episodes so he can walk again . I cry about this
My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism as well as advanced heart disease. Is the Hawthorne okay with the thyroid problem? We just started diuretic, thyroid med and heart med.
Thank you for all you do! My male lab mix was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, started him on Theophylline, Vetmedin, and Furosemide - he seems to be doing well (eating habits back to normal - which was the initial concern prior to finding out about his heart). I am transitioning him to homemade food and was thinking of supplementing him with Hawthorne Berry capsules - will this interact with any of his meds? Thank you.
be careful of furosemide and use the natural diuretics this doctor recommends .My dog was 90 lbs and still could not take that it is the strongest of diuretics but t has very bad side effects I trusted a vet to know what she was doing and I firmly believe that is dangerous I also was ready to use some red clover when my dog got home but after that furosemide he wasn't even eating
I'm asking that you please, please answer this question about heart murmurs. My two-year-old Rottweiler was diagnosed by her regular vet with congenital mild to moderate heart murmur. I have yet to get her into a cardiologist because there is such a shortage in my area. So I would love to introduce this but want to make sure it helps for heart murmurs, not just congestive heart failure and other heart disease. When she gets overexcited she salivates excessively and can't handle the heat at all. I would love to find something that would give her a better quality of life with less restrictions. I can only leave her outside for about a half an hour at a time in the heat and I noticed she is laying down intermittently now while I'm throwing the ball to her which is something new. So I am very worried that this might be getting worse. Thank you so much!!
Makes me sad I didnt know of this before my Poodle died of heart disease. Would it be good to give Hawthorne to dogs to protect from potential heart issues?
wow thankyou for this video! I read that reducing salt can also help with heart disease. I have been giving my cat only fish since she has been diagnosed with heart disease. also the omega 3s in the fish are also supposed to help. what is your opinion on this? thankyou!
I have a cat nearly 18 with kidney disease only on fish( that's all she would eat) white fish cooked in a little milk but I read not good on just fish as they do not get vit.E and things. Will she eat some Dreamies or treats with vits in too. Mine will. Also giving her cbd broad spectrum oil as she was very ill recently but as since picked up a lot. Good luck from UK.
Hi Dr. Andrew! Thanks for sharing this great tips! I have a Multipoo, she is 12 y/o and she has been diagnosed with stage C heart disease 1 year ago. Her coughing is getting worse nowadays and start to collapsed a few time recently. I hope is not too late to try your method on her. May I know how can I give Hawthrone to my dog while she is taking the heart medicine at the same time? Looking forward to hearing from you.
My dog is 13 yrs old is having breathing problems, when she drinks water or eats she gags. I don't know what to do for her. I don't have money to take her to the vet. As I'm not working, my question is should I give her some hawthorne berry tinture? How much as she is over weight, she is about 85 lb that is to much for a pit.
Ive been giving my 16 yr old chihuahua norcos which is hydrocodone and it was every day now it's once a week. A sliver of norco with honey every 7 days. Almost no coughing and he's not missing meals now. About a tablespoon in a syringe
Can the Hawthorne be used with the other supplements ypu suggest in your other videos (and others)? My 10 year old is currently taking prescribed meds ( Vetmedin, Enalapril and Lasix) and using your supplement suggestions (dandelion leaf, cow 10, CBD, fish oil, nettle tea). Wondering if adding this also is too much!!??
I am wondering the same thing as my dog is getting all the stuff yours is and its not only expensive but its a hassle waiting for the vet to approve the rx and holding the meds hostage until I take my dog in to see her just so she can charge me. I also want to know if I can stop the vet meds and keep my dog on the naturals. Or if I wean him off.
I quickly cleared up my fifteen year old cats heart murmur by giving him a Sunrider "Lifestream" capsule a day, for a couple of weeks, the problem and the recovery were both confirmed by veterinarians, main ingredients are Cassia Tora, Dwarf Liliturf Root and Sophora Flower!
Where you bought it because my cat have heart murmur and the vet give her Atenolol 9 month ago this month my cat can’t breathe normally I went with her to the ER they give her lasix and Clopidogrel because she had fluid in her lungs it helped a little bit but when they did test for her kidney values the results is bad there numbers getting up so if I stop her medication and give her your remedies . did you think she will get better??
@@user-do2fh8wx6s It's an old multi level company, you should call Sunrider International at their toll free number to purchase any of their products which are then quickly shipped, you do not have to join as they also offer a customer membership, I believe that the customer is free, not positive about that, it's also possible that they can reefer you to a distributor who lives close to you who can quickly provide you with a few capsules.
Hello Doctor. Thank you for the amazing information regarding Hawthorne. My dog has recently been diagnosed with MVD and is asymptomatic at the moment. We’re in the U.K. and his Cardiologist has prescribed Vetmedin. This works similarly to Hawthorne - making it easier for the heart to pump. Would it be safe for me to give Hawthorne at the same time as Vetmedin? I’m loathed to take him of the meds right now but I’m worried that if I give him Vetmedin and Hawthorne together, it would do more harm than good. Thank you so much.
@@ForeverAutumn100 I'm so sorry for your loss please feel better soon and when you do, please consider adopting another sweet soul deserving of your love & kindness❤️
Hi can you please provide i dosage information for cats ❓for both supplements you suggested What tincture brand do you use for hawthorn ....is it best alcohol based or. Alcohol free for hawthorn tincture❓ Is glycerine safe I see alot of hawthorn berry tincture with glycerine in it Thankyou
