As most of you already know, a new study recently came out from the FDA linking a long list of very popular dog food brands to heart disease.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has identified more than a dozen brands of pet food that it says are most frequently connected to a spike in reported cases of heart disease in dogs.

The FDA is continuing to investigate more than 500 reports of dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM, in dogs eating certain types of pet food. DCM is a form of canine heart disease that can cause congestive heart failure in dogs.

We have pulled together some of our favorite food brands that we use, love and trust!

My Ollie:

Ollie’s recipes are vet-formulated and gently cooked to preserve the right amount of nutrients. Made using 98% natural, human-grade ingredients and 2% supplements, the food is fairly sourced and prepared in a USDA inspected and FDA regulated facility, alongside human food that is sold at top tier retailers. You can learn more about Ollie here and get a code for 50% off your first order!

Nulo:

If you have ever taken a science class then you know that animal-based proteins help build muscle. Dogs are meant to eat meat! Nulo offers high-meat foods that are low in carbs and they use low-glycemic ingredients so your dog can maintain a healthy weight! Far too often do we see overweight dogs in the world. Not only is it bad for their health, but it’s bad for their joints, muscles, and bones. See more about Nulo here!
