Like you, your dog needs good habits to stay healthy. Here are some recommendations that will help you keep your dog healthy and in shape:

Diet - A healthy diet is good for your dog’s heart just as it is good for our own hearts. Your dog’s diet needs to be well balanced and made up of high-quality ingredients. Talk to your veterinarian about your dog’s diet. Your veterinarian can help you choose the right pet food and recommend how much and how often you should feed your dog.

Exercise - Regular exercise will keep you and your dog in great shape. Your dog’s exercise requirements will differ according to size, breed, age, and health. Talk to your veterinarian about your dog’s exercise requirements.

Routine checkups - Take your dog to the veterinarian at least once a year for an annual checkup. The veterinarian will most likely listen to your dog’s heartbeat and monitor his/her breathing. While you’re there, take the opportunity to ask plenty of questions and get some advice on how to keep your dog and your dog’s heart healthy.
