A healthy heart is vital to the wellbeing, vitality and long life of your pet – and it’s not something that simply takes care of itself.

For pets to live long healthy lives, a healthy heart is essential. And a good, nutritionally-balanced diet goes a long way toward safeguarding heart health.

HEART DISEASE
For dogs, heart disease is a significant issue; studies have shown that up to
11% of all adult dogs will be affected in their lifetime.*

If pets develop heart disease it can affect the heart’s ability to contract and dilate; it may obstruct blood flow and cause heart murmurs. Symptoms may include reduced vitality and other physical limitations – all outcomes you would want to spare your pet from.

HOW TO HELP YOUR PET
You can take preventative action by feeding your pet a diet with specific active ingredients that research has shown will help promote a healthy heart.

‘HEALTHY HEART’ FORMULA
The Optimum^® pet food range for cats and dogs has the addition of ‘healthy heart’ ingredients in all adult dry formulas.
The formulation includes vitamin E, an antioxidant that has been shown to promote cardiac health; arginine, an amino acid that plays a key role in regulating blood circulation; and taurine, as there is a known link between taurine deficiency and cardiac disease.

A WORLD-CLASS PARTNERSHIP
Researchers at the Waltham Institute, the world’s leading authority on pet care and nutrition, have worked with Optimum to ensure its foods satisfy the specific nutritional requirements of cats and dogs at every lifestage.

In keeping with this philosophy, Optimum has not only improved its adult dry range with a new healthy heart formulation, but has also made sure its puppy and kitten products are keeping up with the latest scientific developments in pet nutrition.

Now formulated with added colostrum, Optimum’s dry puppy and kitten range also works to promote gastrointestinal health.

QUALITY AND CONVENIENCE
The entire Optimum range is conveniently available from your supermarket.
It’s the only premium supermarket brand to offer a complete range of
wet and dry foods for your cat or dog.

Optimum caters to kittens and puppies, through to adult and mature pets, including those with special dietary needs.
