I am my dog’s best friend. We have known each other for a very long time. My best friend needs more of my care now that he is aging. Hill’s Prescription Diet h/d Canine Cardiac Health is for the nutritional management of dogs with heart disease, including high blood pressure and fluid retention. Heart disease and heart failure are conditions frequently found in aging dogs. Typically, heart disease can cause the heart to become enlarged, leading to fluid retention and discomfort for your dog. Fluid retention is in response to a less efficient heart muscle and can be made a bigger problem with foods that are high in sodium.
This Canine Cardiac Health food for aging dogs has a low level of sodium to help maintain normal blood pressure; a high level of taurine to help support cardiac muscle metabolism; a high level of L-carnitine for healthy heart function; and increased B-vitamins and magnesium to help replenish nutrients lost when receiving diuretics.
Prescription Diet h/d Canine dog food is formulated to help manage dogs with the symptoms of heart disease and related fluid retention.
