healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2022/06/17/myxomatous-mitral-valve-disease.aspx Story at-a-glance Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common cardiovascular disease in dogs, making up more than 70% of cases Researchers are trying to understand more about how the disease presents in different breeds to help with early diagnosis and treatment Compared with Yorkies, miniature schnauzers were significantly younger at the time of diagnosis and episodic collapse was the most common clinical sign noted Among Yorkies, coughing was the most common symptom of MMVD noted by owners If your dog is diagnosed with MMVD, high doses of ubiquinol, the reduced form of CoQ10, may improve myocardial cellular respiration, reducing cardiovascular stress My notes: 70% of cases is a lot! Just like with humans, pets can benefit from supplements.

Good to know. None of our dogs had it.
