.” STUDY IDENTIFIES DIFFERENCES IN DCM-ASSOCIATED DIETS Recent study results provide details on the biochemical differences between diets associated with dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs and those with no known connection to the disease. Researchers from
Response Network analyzed records from 161 dogs. Of 121 dogs with DCM reports sent to the FDA between January 2018 and April 2019, 23 had full recoveries and 84 had partial recoveries. “All dogs that fully recovered received a diet change,” the
