Carnicare - L Carnitine and Taurine amino acid supplement for your dog's healthy heart

<h3 style="margin-left:0px;text-align:center;"><span style="background-color:transparent;"><strong>Maintaining and Supporting Your Dog’s Heart Health</strong></span></h3><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Heart health in the modern dog is principally governed by genetics, diet, weight and exercise. Controlling these latter three factors is our responsibility as owners</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Diet and specifically supplementation of the diet with key amino acids can give your dog increased support. It becomes even more important if your dog is of one of those breeds more genetically pre-disposed to heart problems</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">There are some technical articles in on our website that may help you to understand more about heart health. </span><a href="https://acecanine.myshopify.com/pages/dog-health-articles-dilated-cardiomyopathy-dcm"><span style="background-color:transparent;">https://acecanine.myshopify.com/pages/dog-health-articles-dilated-cardiomyopathy-dcm</span></a><span style="background-color:transparent;"> and </span><a href="https://acecanine.myshopify.com/pages/dog-health-articles-heart-murmurs"><span style="background-color:transparent;">https://acecanine.myshopify.com/pages/dog-health-articles-heart-murmurs</span></a></p><h2 style="margin-left:0px;text-align:center;">&nbsp;</h2><h3 style="margin-left:0px;text-align:center;"><span style="background-color:transparent;"><strong>Why our dogs may need help with Vegetarian and Vegan diets</strong></span></h3><p style="margin-left:0px;text-align:center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">While some people choose to raise their dogs on a vegetarian diet for ethical reasons there are a number of important factors to consider when making the change over.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Dogs have higher protein requirements than humans, and this protein requirement can still be adequately met with legumes and other vegetarian sources. The amount of protein required overall ranges between 12% –&nbsp;40% ; however some specific amino acids are may still be lacking.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4><span style="background-color:transparent;"><strong>L-Carnitine</strong></span></h4><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">L-Carnitine is usually classified as an amino acid, but it’s actually a vitamin-like compound that plays a vital role in the body by transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria. It is essential to cellular energy metabolism, and due to the myocardium’s high energy requirements, the highest levels of L-Carnitine can be found in heart muscle tissue. The body’s ability to synthesise L-Carnitine decreases with age and supplementation may be necessary to support good heart health.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">These high energy requirements mean that the heart requires a higher level of L-Carnitine than may be found in some diets. Low levels of L-Carnitine are associated with &nbsp;several breeds, especially Boxers, but also Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels, and Dobermans.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><h4 style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;"><strong>Taurine</strong></span></h4><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">High levels of this amino acid are normally found in the heart muscle and it is abundant in most meats and fish, but cooking, especially cooking methods that immerse meat in water, such as boiling, can reduce Taurine levels in food by up to 85%.&nbsp;However, this is not supposed to be a problem for dogs, because, unlike cats, dogs are supposed to be able to synthesize sufficient Taurine from the sulphur amino acids, Cysteine and Methionine, much like humans.&nbsp;You’ll notice the “supposed to’s” in that sentence. That’s because it is far from clear that all dogs have the ability to synthesize adequate levels of &nbsp;Taurine.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">While premium dog foods typically include additional Taurine supplements, low protein diets as well as &nbsp;brands using high levels of cereal protein may not contain sufficient Taurine. &nbsp;Lamb and rice diets have also been implicated as have homemade vegetarian and vegan diets.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Some breeds (e.g., Newfoundlands, American Cocker Spaniels) are prone to a low Taurine level in their systems &nbsp;even when Taurine levels in their diet are adequate.&nbsp;There is evidence that Taurine supplementation supports heart health in many breeds</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="background-color:transparent;">Two important amino acids that may be lacking in vegetarian diets are Taurine and L-Carnitine, and these nutrients are vital for maintaining good heart health.</span></p>
