PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS CC CardioCare™ is a complete dietetic pet food for adult dogs containing an advanced blend of nutrients (Cardiac Protection Blend - CPB) proven to support cardiac function and delay the progresion of heart disease from the early stages.

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 for fatty acids to get into mitochondria
  • Fish oil (Omega-3 fatty acids) to help reduce inflammation 
  • Vitamin E to help prevent oxidative cell damage
  • 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.

Heart murmurs can be common in young dogs, and although they often subside with age, they can also be an early sign of heart disease.

There are 3 types of heart murmurs and each type can be graded on a scale of 1 to 6 depending on the severity.

Among canine cardiac diseases, myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) represents the most common form

Canine cardiac disease

  • It is characterised by a slowly progressive mitral valve degeneration associated with alterations in energy metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and in advanced stages, heart enlargement1.
  • In the early stages, dogs show no outward signs of disease and are considered as clinically normal. 
  • Strong evidence supports that adapting the diet at this early stage will help delay clinical signs2.
