The FDA has noted, even despite their recent warning about grain-free dog food, that they still encourage all dog owners to work directly with their chosen veterinary specialists to choose the appropriate diet for dogs. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

#DCM is a devastating diagnosis but can be treatable. You and your bestest friend can still have a lot of time together (both in human and in dog time) if you learn the facts about DCM early. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

FDA investigations warn that legumes (peas, lentils, legume seeds, and potatoes) could be potential contributors to canine #DCM. Manufacturers are marketing new dog formulas as free of such ingredients. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

Grain is still in question while taurine deficiencies and ingredients like lentils, peas, and potatoes are showing more convincing connections to #DCM in dogs. Learn the facts at https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

There are many nuances of the FDA’s investigation into canine DCM. It’s time to look past the click-bait headlines at get down to the facts. The more you know, the better off you and your pooch will be. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

We’re all impressionable when it comes to our dogs. However, the FDA alert reporting a link between grain-free diets and #DCM might be a little shortsighted. Learn more about DCM facts, triggers, and early warning signs at https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

Before you decide to get a dog, it’s important to know the financial obligations of keeping a dog healthy, which included giving them a clean protein-rich diet to help avoid complications that arise from DCM. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

[dcmscienceondogs @dcmscienceondog]

If your dog seems sluggish or downright exhausted out of nowhere and for not much of a good reason, this could be an early sign of DCM, so it’s important to schedule a vet visit immediately. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

Avoid giving your furry friend overly processed food — in which protein will have become denatured and far less nutritious, resulting in deficiencies in amino acids that can result in DCM. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

Does your dog love swimming? It’s a great low-impact form of exercise for the pooch. If you have a body of water nearby or even a pool that is dog friendly, then jump in! https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

As summer comes to a close, it’s important to remember that it’s still pretty stinking hot out there. Give your best friend the opportunity to take a dip when you can. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

[dcmscienceondogs @dcmscienceondog]

Keeping your dog’s diet full of real animal protein is essential for its health. Some dog foods lack taurine, methionine, and cysteine, which can lead to a deficiency associated with DCM. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

[dcmscienceondogs @dcmscienceondog]

If your dog has a taurine deficiency, now is the time to act. DCM is believed to be brought on from many factors and taurine deficiency from over-processed protein lacking proper amino acid content is one of them. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

[dcmscienceondogs @dcmscienceondog]

DCM is often caused by a nutritional deficiency in taurine. Taurine is an amino acid created by your dog’s own body using methionine and cysteine — found in animal protein. Feed your pooch plenty of clean animal protein for best results. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

Symptoms of DCM include weakness, fainting, difficulty breathing, distended abdomen and coughing. Early detection is crucial when it comes to DCM and your dog. https://t.co/CLJKSFpxYE

Reduced energy levels in your dog is not a sign that they’ve successfully achieved a cardio workout — it’s a sign of dehydration. Make sure your dog drinks half their body weight in ounces of water on a daily basis. https://t.co/oVg5mI3Ygs
