FDA investigates possible link between certain dog diets and heart disease

A newly released investigation by the FDA shows a potential link between grain-free diets and a heart condition in dogs called dilated cardiomyopathy, also known as DCM. “It’s mostly a congenital condition that dogs like dobermans are born with, but we are starting to see it in dog breeds that don’t traditionally have it,” said Dr. Christoper Lapsley.
