Heart Issues

Well I use cheese to give pills.

Cheese is high in sodium normally.

If the dog likes fruits or veggies that might be an option for pill sneaking.

Uhhh- yea I think your right. I am sorry as it has been a long time since I had a dog with a heart condition. I know we did- but maybe the condition was not as serious to also be taking pills for salt as well.
Natural peanut butter might be low in sodium. What did your vet suggest freckledimple?

He's on furosemide, Elanapril, and Science Diet H/D(heart diet). I was thinking about unsalted peanut butter or unsalted butter(small amounts of course) We have some SD H/D moist on order as well. Hopefully something will help with the pill taking stress. When it's time to give him a pill, he always gets the sadddest look on his face, like "Mommy, do we have to do this again?" I always make sure to give him some extra cuddles

I was hoping he was on HD.. Unsalted natural peanut butter should be great. Also when considering dogs with heart problems have a tendancy to have low sugar..
