Dietary Management of Chronic Heart Disease in Dogs:
Diets for management of heart disease must contain normal amounts of taurine and L-carnitine. Beef-based diets provide more L-carnitine than chicken-based diets. Both beef and chicken provide taurine. Sodium-restricted diets must be used with sodium and fluid retention, hypertension or congestive heart failure. Potassium supplementation is necessary with suspected or proven potassium depletion. With increased plasma potassium, dietary potassium should be low. Magnesium is often lost so dietary magnesium should be higher than usual. Diets should be highly palatable. Vitamin B12 should be given by tablet several times a month or by feeding a food such as sardines that contains abundant amounts.
