  1. Schnauzers are prone to dilation of the heart than other breeds. This can have several causes, the most common dog is overweight, or a diet rich in fat and physical inactivity. The heart is more, because it must pump harder to circulate blood. It can also be caused by a problem in the valves of the heart (like a breath), or caused lung disease. The fluid in the lungs is a side effect of the heart, the blood does not circulate effectively. Lasix is generally a lifelong treatment. The other thing that the transition in May to a high-quality protein, a diet low in fat helps you lose weight and take a long walk every day.

  2. Feed your pet a proper diet is a necessity for many reasons, not least that your dog may be in better health and energy. Similarly, movement is important to keep your dog fit.

    Because heart disease has multiple causes, there is little you can do for him. May, however, to pay special attention to your dog in the detection of signs of a problem before - and sooner is always better when it comes to treatment.
