  British Heartless Foundation
Heart disease rarely occurs in dogs, and it’s usually because they have been bred to grow abnormally large.
To date, the only cure for heart disease – a low-fat vegan diet, exercise and stress management – was developed by Dr Dean Ornish, who worked with human patients, not with rats and dogs.
BHF will not say how much – if any – of their funds go towards educating the public about Dr Ornish’s groundbreaking work with cardiac patients.
