FDA宣佈無穀物糧可致狗狗擴張性心肌病

FDA announces that grain-free diets can cause dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs

The FDA announced as early as 2018 that the ingredients in grain-free pet food could potentially cause heart problems (DCM) in pets.Since April of this year, the FDA has received reports of 560 dogs and 14 cats suspected of developing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) related to their diet.

On December 28 of this year, there was another report in the United States indicating that a 6-year-old dog was diagnosed with late-stage heart failure.

The 6-year-old mixed-breed dog Kanga started showing signs of lethargy and difficulty breathing a few weeks ago, so the owner took Kanga to the vet.Unfortunately, the veterinarian confirmed that Kanga was already in the late stages of heart failure.

Veterinary experts suspect that grain-free dog food caused dilated cardiomyopathy.

After the veterinarian diagnosed Kanga with heart disease, the first question was, "Are you feeding Kanga grain-free dog food?"

The FDA announced as early as 2018 that the ingredients in grain-free dog food could potentially cause pets to develop dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

The dogs stopped eating grain-free food and surprisingly recovered without medication.

In 2018, an organization conducted a study on 24 dogs suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and stopped providing them with grain-free food. Surprisingly, 23 of them showed significant improvement, and even 9 of them no longer needed medication.

Still eating dry food and grain-free food??

Dry food, whether "grain-free" or not, is not suitable for dogs.

Junk food: The production of dog food requires multiple heating processes, leading to nutrient loss.

Toxic food: It is often found that packaged dog food contains aflatoxins, and aflatoxins cannot be killed by cooking.Dog food primarily contains corn, grains, and nuts, which often have aflatoxins.

Rapid oxidation: Oxidation begins as soon as the packaging is opened.Leading to nutrient loss, and also the growth of mold and bacteria.
