My Chihuahua has recently been diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. This is a heart condition the mostly occurs in large dogs, but nevertheless my doggy has been diagnosed with it. My research has shown that diets low in sodium and high in amino acids taurine and carnitine are very good for the heart, and can actually reverse the enlarged heart. I have changed his food to prescription diet H/D (has the taurine and carnitine, low sodium and added potassium since the Lasix depletes potassium quickly) , but would love to find a dog treat that I can get at a Petsmart, Petland, or even the Seventh Vortex of Hell (Walmart). My dog loves his dogs biscuit (demanding them before he goes outside hahaha). Does anyone here know of a dog treat that is good for the heart?
