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. Keep clean drinking water available throughout the day.

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

Do not stop or change your dog’s prescribed cardiac medicines after starting this food. A veterinary cardiac diet supports nutritional management but does not replace medication or regular medical monitoring.

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

Transitioning to a New Food

Follow your veterinarian’s transition instructions. Unless your vet advises otherwise:

Days 1–2: 75% current food + 25% 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. However, your veterinarian may recommend a different transition speed based on your dog’s health and appetite.
