Congestive Heart Failure in Pets and Companion Animals Pets can suffer from both acute and chronic heart disease just like their human companions can. Heart disease can lead to congestive heart failure‚ a weakening of the heart that makes it impossible for it pump enough blood into the rest of the body. A surplus of fluid will then back up into a pet’s lungs and ultimately cause death. Congestive heart failure in dogs and cats has many causes and many symptoms. It can come on quickly in some cases
