Wet dietetic food for adult and senior dogs with heart conditions or heart failure: a soft, low-sodium pâté enriched with taurine, L-carnitine, and omega-3.
Heart conditions in dogs place constant strain on the heart muscle and disrupt the body’s water and salt balance, often leading to fluid retention, loss of appetite, and muscle wasting.
Royal Canin Cardiac Loaf offers targeted clinical nutrition to protect heart function. The drastic reduction in sodium limits fluid accumulation in the tissues and the formation of edema, thereby reducing the vascular workload.
The formula includes taurine and L-carnitine, essential nutrients for supporting energy and the contraction of cardiomyocytes, along with green tea polyphenols to combat oxidative stress. Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) have an anti-inflammatory effect on the cardiovascular system, while the soft pâté texture ensures high palatability even for dogs with heart disease who have a poor appetite.
