Webinar abstract:   


Recent concerns over a possible association of grain-free dog foods with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) has led to increased awareness of the importance of obtaining a full dietary history in animals that are presented for heart disease. This presentation will discuss what is known and not known about this nutritionally based cardiomyopathy in dogs and will provide resources to improve nutritional information gathering and management of dogs with heart disease. Specific management of dogs with suspected nutrionally based DCM will be discussed. 


Due to the controversial nature of this presentation, this webinar WILL NOT BE RECORDED for streaming at a later date.
