Pro Plan

Pro Plan Veterinary Diets CC Cardio Care Dry review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Purina positions this one within its Pro Plan Veterinary Diets range as CC CardioCare, a dry diet made to feed a dog whose heart condition needs nutritional support.

DryAdult

A veterinary diet from Purina's Pro Plan Veterinary Diets range, made for a dog whose heart condition needs nutritional support. Its signature is MCT oil, declared at 5%. We do not score veterinary diets, so this page sets out the label and leaves the judgement to your vet.
