We understand how daunting it can feel when managing your cat's health, and we're here to help.
How Marro Supports Cats with Heart Conditions
While Marro isn’t specifically formulated for heart disease, our high-quality, highly digestible meals may be a suitable option for cats with heart conditions, helping them stay nourished and comfortable.
We advise always consulting your vet before changing your cat’s diet, especially if they have a health condition, to give them the best possible option.
Why Marro Could Help
High-Quality Protein & Palatability
Supports muscle maintenance, which is vital for heart health.
Highly palatable meals encourage cats to eat even if appetite is reduced due to illness or medication.
Golden Gravy for Hydration
Helps replace fluids lost from diuretic medications.
Supports overall hydration, particularly for cats that may not drink enough water on their own.
Brewers Yeast for B Vitamins
Natural source of B vitamins and folic acid.
Helps replenish nutrients lost due to diuretics, supporting overall health and vitality.
Salmon Oil for Omega-3s
Supports heart health and helps reduce inflammation.
Helps maintain muscle mass in cats with heart conditions.
Understanding Heart Disease in Cats
The heart may struggle to pump blood effectively, which can cause fluid buildup or, over time, lead to heart failure.
Causes can include thickened or weakened heart walls, scar tissue, age, obesity, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, or certain breeds (e.g., Ragdoll, Maine Coon).
Signs to Watch For:
Fast or heavy breathing
Lethargy or hiding
Loss of appetite or weight loss
Cold paws, pale gums, or swollen belly
Weakness or collapsing
Not all cats show obvious signs, so consult your vet if you have any concerns.
