Can support heart health
If an ingredient in dog food has the property of "supporting heart health", this means that it contains nutrients or compounds that can have a positive effect on the dog's cardiovascular system. This can happen in various ways:
- Improve heart function: certain ingredients can directly support heart function by improving the force with which the heart pumps blood or keeping the heart rate in a healthy range.
- Promote blood flow: Ingredients may contain substances that help dilate blood vessels or keep them flexible, which improves blood flow and regulates blood pressure.
- Reducing inflammation: Inflammation can increase the risk of heart disease. Some ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties that can help prevent heart-related problems.
- Control cholesterol levels: Some ingredients can help lower cholesterol levels or improve the ratio of good to bad cholesterol, which is important for heart health.
- Supply of omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are known to promote heart health. Ingredients rich in these fatty acids can reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and have other heart-protective effects.
So if an ingredient is described as supporting heart health, it may bring one or more of these benefits. However, it's important to keep your dog's overall diet in mind and make sure their food provides a balanced mix of all the necessary nutrients.
