Storing it

Your food arrives frozen. Keep it in the freezer, then move a packet to the refrigerator the night before you need it. Once thawed, keep it sealed and refrigerated, and use it within five days.

Freezer space

What you may notice

During the first week, you may notice smaller, firmer stools. Some dogs also drink a little less because fresh food contains more moisture. If stools become loose, stay at the last comfortable step of the transition for a few more days before moving forward.

A number needs context.

Dog food labels make comparison harder than it should be. We show nutrients in grams per 1,000 calories, so you can see what your dog is really getting.

Dogs need a certain number of calories each day. How much food it takes to provide them depends on the food's moisture and calorie density. Showing nutrients per 1,000 calories makes it easier to see what your dog is actually getting and compare one food with another.

Every number shown here is a measured value, not a label minimum or maximum. It reflects the nutrient levels this recipe was formulated to provide.

Protein 104 g per 1,000 kcal
Fat 46 g per 1,000 kcal
Carbohydrate 71 g per 1,000 kcal
Fiber 2.5 g per 1,000 kcal

Questions about Cardiac Support

Discovery

How much sodium is in Wynwood Cardiac Support?

Wynwood Cardiac Support contains 0.50 grams of sodium per 1,000 kcal. Sodium restriction is a standard part of nutritional management for dogs with heart disease, particularly those in congestive heart failure.

Does Wynwood Cardiac Support contain taurine and L-carnitine?

Yes. Wynwood Cardiac Support contains both taurine and L-carnitine. It also supplies 2.5 grams of methionine per 1,000 kcal; methionine and cysteine are the precursors the body uses to make taurine. EPA and DHA come in at 1.2 grams per 1,000 kcal.

Is Wynwood Cardiac Support suitable for a dog with dilated cardiomyopathy?

Yes. Wynwood Cardiac Support is indicated for dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy, including taurine-responsive and carnitine-responsive forms. It supplies both nutrients directly. Your cardiologist or veterinarian decides how it fits alongside medication.

Can a dog in congestive heart failure or with a leaking valve eat Wynwood Cardiac Support?

Yes. Wynwood Cardiac Support is indicated for dogs with congestive heart failure of any cause or severity, valvular insufficiency, and arrhythmias responsive to omega-3 fatty acids. It holds sodium to 0.50 grams per 1,000 kcal.

Comparison

Can a healthy dog eat Wynwood Cardiac Support?

Yes. Unlike most Fresh Rx diets, Wynwood Cardiac Support is indicated for healthy adult and senior dogs as well as dogs genetically predisposed to heart disease, and it meets AAFCO recommendations for canine maintenance. It still requires veterinary authorization to order.

My dog has heart disease and kidney disease. Can he eat Wynwood Cardiac Support?

Not if the kidney disease is advanced. Wynwood Cardiac Support is not recommended for dogs at IRIS Stage 3 or 4 kidney disease. Dogs with both conditions need their veterinarian to decide which one drives the diet choice, since cardiac and renal formulas restrict different nutrients.

Which dogs should not eat Wynwood Cardiac Support?

Wynwood Cardiac Support is not recommended for growing puppies, dogs at IRIS Stage 3 to 4 kidney disease, dogs with pancreatitis or hyperlipidemia, or dogs with a turkey allergy.

Is Wynwood Cardiac Support complete and balanced?

Yes. Wynwood Cardiac Support is formulated to meet AAFCO recommendations for canine maintenance, so it can be fed as an adult dog's sole diet. It is not formulated for growth, so it is not appropriate for puppies.

Logistics

Do I need a prescription to buy Wynwood Cardiac Support?

Yes. Every Wynwood Fresh Rx order, Wynwood Cardiac Support included, must be authorized by your veterinarian. At checkout you select the diet and your clinic, and Wynwood contacts the clinic for authorization. First orders often sit on hold briefly while that confirmation comes back.

How do I store Wynwood Cardiac Support, and how long does it keep once thawed?

Keep Wynwood Cardiac Support in the freezer and move a packet to the refrigerator the night before you need it. Once thawed, keep it sealed and refrigerated and use it within five days. The food is preserved by freezing rather than by chemical preservatives.

How much does Wynwood Cardiac Support cost?

Wynwood Cardiac Support ranges from $11.95 to $38.95 depending on pack size. Monthly cost depends on your dog's calorie needs, and Wynwood's feeding calculator estimates it from your dog's weight. You can order once or subscribe; a subscription is not required.
