Overview: Farmina Vet Life Cardiac Canine Formula

Purpose & Indication:
This is a veterinary prescription, dietetic complete dry food for adult dogs, formulated to support cardiac function in cases of chronic cardiac insufficiency. It’s designed to help manage electrolyte imbalances (low sodium, enhanced potassium/sodium ratio) and improve heart muscle performance (Farmina, ShakeHands).

Key Functional Ingredients:

• Taurine – supports myocardium contractility and ionic exchange in cells

• L-carnitine – aids lipid metabolism and energy availability

• Low sodium / modified Cl/K/Na ratio – helps offset electrolyte imbalances from cardiomyopathy or heart medications (ShakeHands, Canine Care).

Other noted benefits:

• High digestibility and energy density to help maintain or reduce body weight as needed

• Soluble and insoluble fibers may help reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels

• Natural antioxidants support oxidative stress reduction

• Low glycemic index helps modulate post-meal blood sugar levels (ShakeHands).
