Does anyone give their dog CoEnzyme Q10?

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone has their dog on CoEnzyme Q10. If so, for what condition and did the veterinary advise it?

Snoopy has supraventricular tachycardia and is on beta-blockers. When I asked the vet about the supplement CoEnzyme Q10, she told me it would not benefit his heart condition.

Some of the on line sites advise CoEnzyme Q10 with beta-blockers, some say no. I was curious if anyone may of had their dog on this supplement that has the same heart condition as Snoopy.

Thanks, Barb

THANKS HONEYBEARS! You are always on top of it and quick to respond. I have added this site to my favorites, along with the other numerous sites I have regarding Q10. I even have an on line veterinary trying to help me find out if Q10 should be given to a dog with Snoopy's heart disease. He says I should give it to Snoopy. I sent him the negative comment other sites had, that don't approve. So he is researching for me and will let me know.

But meanwhile, I was curious when is it, that a vet will advise a dog to take this supplement. For example, is it only when a dog has renal disease?

Thanks again!

my friend has used it once and it seemed to be good.

 

A holistic vet prescribed a couple supplements for my heart cat which are actually made for dogs. One is Canine Cardiovascular Support, made by Resources - http://www.healthypets.com/rescarsuptab.html. The other is Standard Process's Cardio-Plus - http://www.standardprocess.com/sp_catalog_product_detail.asp?strProductID=spi-2065.

You might look into these products and ask your vet about them.

barb, sorry, cant help you on the renal end. as for the Q10 hubby has been taking for a year now, and he just got this gleaming report from the dentist about how he couldnt believe how his gums were wonderful. One of the sites I found said one study showed great results with reversing gum disease.
