Abstract in brief

  • The FDA is investigating a potential link between certain diets and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs and cats.
  • A study reviewed the medical records of 71 dogs with DCM from 2014 to 2018, comparing those on traditional versus nontraditional diets and noting any diet changes post-diagnosis.
  • Results showed that dogs on nontraditional diets who changed their diets had significant improvements in heart function and longer survival times compared to those who did not change their diets, indicating a need for further research on diet impacts on DCM.

JVIM 犬の拡張型心筋症で、非伝統的なドッグフード（主成分が豆、とか、WSABAの推奨事項を満たしていないとか）に食餌を変更した犬の方が生存期間が長い。 本当？ https://t.co/b1xKcMNfwp
