How is congestive heart failure in dogs treated?
Treatment for congestive heart failure in dogs (CHF) usually consists of medications that decrease the amount of work the heart needs to do or that increase the strength of its contraction. If it is determined that an underlying disease is causing the CHF, treating the underlying disease can cure the CHF as well. Your vet may also recommend a special diet for your dog that is low in salt and high in nutrients.
