purinar-pro-planr-veterinary-diets-canin

PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS CC CardioCare™ is a complete dietetic pet food for adult dogs containing an advanced blend of nutrients (Cardiac Nutritional Blend -CNB) proven to support hearts with compromised mitral valve function from an early stage.

The innovative formula contains:
  • Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)oil as an alternative energy source for the myocytes
  • Key amino acids (L-Lysine, Methionine) precursors of carnitine, a crucial transporter of fatty acids into the mitochondria
  • Fish oil (Omega-3 fatty acids) to help support natural anti-inflammatory processes
  • Vitamin E to help reduce oxidative stress
  • Magnesium which binds ATP to deliver energy to the cardiac cells
  • Taurine to help maintain heart contractile function

Canine heart disease in dogs
Cardiocare_heart_disease

Heart murmurs are turbulences in the blood flow that create a distinguishable sound during the heart auscultation.

A heart murmur can be a common disturbance in young dogs, and although a murmur will often subside with age, they can also be an early sign of heart disease.

Diagnostic tests will usually be performed to confirm the murmur is cardiac in origin and to determine the nature of any underlying disease.

Depending on its nature, rate of progression, patient age and condition, heart disease might lead to heart failure1.

Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common heart disease in dogs.

Vitamin

  • It is characterised by a slowly progressive mitral valve degeneration associated with alterations in energy metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and in more advanced stages, heart enlargement2.
  • In the early stages, dogs show no outward signs of disease and usually present as clinically normal. 
  • Identifying dogs when they are in the early stages of MMVD may help prevent progression3.
