In most cases, dogs with DCM won\u2019t show symptoms until the disease has progressed into the late stages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/dilated-cardiomyopathy-dcm-in-dogs--indepth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VCA Hospitals<\/a>, signs may be sudden onset. Some dogs may develop severe congestive heart failure (CHF) in just a matter of hours. Therefore, it&#8217;s important to schedule an early detection test with your dog&#8217;s vet, especially if they are among the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctvsh.com\/resources\/education\/dog\/dilated-cardiomyopathy-and-heart-failure-dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> commonly affected breeds<\/a> such as Boxers, Doberman Pinschers, Great Danes, Cocker Spaniels and English Springer Spaniels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As with all medical conditions, prevention is better than cure.

Dr. Jean-Paul Ly, a veterinarian and clinical nutritionist &amp; the co-founder of Addiction Foods, recognized the correlation between dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy and Taurine deficiency more than 10 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaurine supplementation for dogs has never been mandated by AAFCO. However, we at Addiction identified the need and pioneered the supplementation of taurine in our food since 2002. We have been adding taurine in all our dog foods ever since,\u201d said Dr. Ly.<\/p>\n<p>All\u00a0Addiction\u00a0dry and raw alternative dog food is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/secret-recipe-taurine-dcm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rich in Taurine<\/a> and made with premium proteins sourced from the purest place on Earth \u2013 New Zealand. We gently cook our food at just the right temperature to kill off harmful bacteria while keeping the nutrients, like Taurine, intact.<\/p>\n<p>With proper care and diet, you can help prevent your dog from developing DCM.
