| Hills Prescription Diet » Dog Food » H/D Food | | | | Hills prescription diet canine h/d is for the nutritional management of dogs with heart disease. Heart disease is a condition frequently found in ageing dogs.
The most commonly seen heart diseases are due to a less efficiently working heart valve or heart muscle. This will lead to fluid retention and discomfort for your dog. Fluid retention is in response to a less efficient heart function and can be made more problematic with foods that are high in sodium. Other nutrients such as L-carnitine and taurine (particularly for the cat) are important for good functioning of the heart muscle.
