What Is Royal Canin Cardiac Dog Can Food 410gm?

Royal Canin Cardiac Dog Can Food 410gm is a complete veterinary wet diet for adult dogs with chronic cardiac insufficiency.

Its restricted sodium level helps reduce the dietary workload placed on the heart. The formula also provides EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids, taurine and L-carnitine to support cardiac muscle and cardiovascular function.

• Your dog has difficulty chewing dry food or prefers a soft loaf texture.
• Your dog needs additional dietary moisture as part of a veterinarian-approved feeding plan.

How to Use It

Feed Royal Canin Cardiac only under the guidance of a qualified veterinarian.

Measure your dog’s complete daily quantity and divide it into two or more meals. Serve at room temperature and keep clean drinking water available throughout the day.

Do not add salty table food, cheese, processed meat, packaged treats, gravy or broth unless your veterinarian approves it. These additions can increase sodium intake and disturb the nutritional balance of the prescribed diet.

Do not stop or change your dog’s cardiac medicines after starting this food. A veterinary cardiac diet provides nutritional support but does not replace medication, diagnostic testing or regular veterinary monitoring.

Royal Canin recommends initially feeding this diet for up to six months. Your veterinarian should reassess your dog before extending or changing the diet.

Transitioning to a New Food

Follow your veterinarian’s transition instructions. Unless your vet recommends another plan:

Days 1–2: 75% current food + 25% Royal Canin Cardiac

Days 3–4: 50% current food + 50% Royal Canin Cardiac

Days 5–6: 25% current food + 75% Royal Canin Cardiac

Day 7 onwards: 100% Royal Canin Cardiac

A gradual transition may help prevent digestive upset. Your veterinarian may recommend a different transition speed based on your dog’s condition, appetite and current treatment.

Feeding Guide

The quantities below are Royal Canin’s approximate daily recommendations when feeding only the wet food.
