We hope you found the information on nutrition and supplementation in the treatment of canine heart disease helpful.
Nutrition for dogs with cardiac disease goes beyond just sodium reduction; however, moderate reduction of dietary sodium helps reduce water retention caused by decreased cardiac output in dogs with heart disease.
Taurine is an amino acid that has positive inotropic and antioxidant effects. It is an essential nutrient in cats and conditionally essential nutrient in some dog breeds such as American cocker spaniels and golden retrievers.
Measuring carnitine levels may be helpful when screening dogs for deficiency. Consider feeding carnitine precursors (methionine and lysine), as this may be beneficial for some dogs with cardiac disease.
Although medical management is the mainstay of treatment for myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), appropriate nutritional support is also very important for these patients. In addition, dogs with MMVD also tend to be senior in age and may have a reduced appetite. A diet that is highly digestible, is palatable, and has at least 25% of metabolizable energy coming from protein should be considered.
In one study, dogs with early stage MMVD that were fed a diet containing a cardiac protection blend of nutrients that included antioxidants (vitamin E and taurine), omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), magnesium, medium-chain triglycerides, and carnitine precursors showed slower progression of MMVD.
