Hill's Prescription Diet Canine h/d

Heart disease is a condition frequently found in ageing dogs. The most commonly seen heart diseases are due to a less efficiently working heart valve or heart muscle. This will lead to fluid retention and discomfort for your dog. Fluid retention is in response to a less efficient heart function and can be made more problematic with foods that are high in sodium. Other nutrients such as L-carnitine and taurine (particularly for the cat) are important for good functioning of the heart muscle.

Not recommended for - Cats. - Puppies. - Pregnant or lactating bitches. - Dogs with sodium depletion (e.g. following severe vomiting or diarrhoea). - Dogs with hyperlipidaemia or pancreatitis, or with a history of, or at risk of, pancreatitis.
