NOW Pet Health, Cardiovascular Support Supplement, Formulated for Cats & Dogs, NASC Certified, Powder, 4.5-Ounce

I purchased this Taurine supplement for my English Setter after reading that setters sometimes can suffer from a condition called Dialated Cardiomyopathy, a heart condition resulting from low Taurine aggravated by extreme exercise/conditions that hunting dogs sometimes experience. The powder is easily mixed with the dog's food and they seem to find it very palatable. I did read that my dog food has some Taurine as an ingredient already so I did go for a lowered dose of the supplement, which I was adding Just in Case anyway.

It has been great for my little 10 year old dachshund with heart problems. I'm using it every morning with his food by adding just quarter of the teaspoon. It has health benefits because of taurine and should be effective for heart muscle

The powder is messy and has to be hidden in food. Whatever you put in your GI tabs, use the same to press this stuff into tablets.

Bought this as a supplement because my dog has very rigid dietary needs. I make my own dog food and know that my pup may not be getting all of the nutrients he needs, so I Did a lot of research and found this brand the best quality and suited our needs. I found it easier to premeasure the amounts (along with another powder he needs) into individual daily cups, then mix it into a “gravy” before adding the solid chicken and this works perfectly. My finicky eater absolutely loves it!

I bought one bottle. It became unusable. It clumped up and became a rock. For my second bottle I parsed it into 2 oz Nalgene screw top containers and packed the 5 or 5 bottles in a silicon bag with silica gel. It works.

I was looking for something with L-carnitine and CoQ10 because I read that they help cats that are hyperthyroid. I tried another brand's “dog & cats” capsules that were too big for cats and the cat wouldn't go near the food even with a speckle of that in the food. The other ingredients in this supplement by NOW are a plus for my 15-year-old senior cat. This one mixed with water, makes a very nice broth which add to my cat's wet food. She ate her food as usual which is a big deal! It is too soon to tell about results, but I trust NOW for my own supplements for years, so I am sure the ingredients are good quality and will have the best chance to be helpful. [Update] It has been at least two weeks, she loves the taste! If I don't give it to her, I will definitely hear about it! It makes it easy to mix in other things like Cosequin, fiber, and Miralax. I wish NOW would make a standalone broth without the supplement ingredients, so I can give it to her more liberally. I cannot attribute to this supplement 100% due to other changes, but she is doing great, and I am confident this supplement is a key contributor! She looks more lucid, more independent, has better appetite (added a bit of weight that she needed), and she even gets the zoomies every once in a while.

I wanted to love this product for our soon to be 14 yr old SugarBear. I bought this to support his heart function after a MVD diagnosis. I love NOW products and use several that are designed for humans. This product has great ingredients but unfortunately misses the mark in packaging. Within less than two months the contents began to clump and have hardened into a concrete consistency. Although it is packaged with a dessicant, it can't do it's job due to the flimsy flip top lid. I don't think it gets a good seal. I'm using a fork to break up the product but it just breaks into gummy clumps. I still have quite a bit left, b ut now I'm wondering if the ingredients are even any good anymore. I will be looking for an alternate cardiac support product for our sweet boy.

Yummy! my cat loves the flavor of NOW Cardiovascular Support in her wet food! I suspect the reason it got lumpy over time must have been airborne bacteria attacking the broth. When I got a fresh bottle I put some in an airtight spice jar and kept it in the fridge. The rest is kept airtight in the freezer. Maybe I don't need to freeze. Been using it from the fridge daily for 5 months and the spice jar still pours the powder smoothly, no lumps! P.S. Under the airtight lid of a spice jar is a removable cap for sprinkling. Some caps have an opening for pouring into a measuring spoon. The kind that pours is handy.

Shocking. Goes rock hard and goes “off”. Have stuck with it and tried everything over several buys, and finally managed to make the latest purchase last a bit longer by decanting into an airtight tub, but it still goes hard in the end and goes thicker with the most disgusting smell. I think the “chicken broth” contaminates it after a while. Yuk.
