Abstract
A variety of nutritional deficiencies, dietary
protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and trace elements
are known to cause cardiac disease in various
species. Nutritional management of dogs with cardiac
problems can be handling with providing adequate
calories, protein and modulating cytokine production
to manage the possible cause of decreased appetite
of the side effects of medications. Owners should be
aware that dietary supplements are not regulated in
the same way as drugs. They do not require proof of
safety, efficacy, or quality control before they can
be sold. Therefore, careful selection of type, dose,
and brand is important to avoid toxicities or
complete lack of efficacy.
