The Heart of the Matter

Your dog’s heart works 24/7—and it deserves some love, too. Whether your pup is playing fetch, patrolling the yard, or snoozing on the couch, their cardiovascular health is essential to their overall well-being. And while genetics and exercise matter, one of the biggest factors you control is their diet.

Let’s talk about how the right nutrients—especially those in our grain-free chicken recipe—can help support a strong, healthy heart.

Chicken: A Lean, Powerful Protein for the Heart

High-quality animal protein isn’t just good for muscles—it helps keep the heart muscle strong and functioning properly. Champ’s Grain Free Savory Patties with Chicken recipe delivers complete amino acids that fuel muscle maintenance, energy, and repair—including the heart.

Even better? Our grain-free formula skips the fillers, so your dog gets what they need and nothing they don’t.

The Heart-Healthy Heroes: Taurine, Omega-3s, and Antioxidants

Certain nutrients go the extra mile for heart health:

• Taurine: This amino acid is crucial for supporting healthy heart rhythm and cardiovascular function. Some breeds may not produce enough on their own, making dietary taurine even more important.
  
  

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oils and flaxseed, omega-3s reduce inflammation and improve blood flow, helping the heart pump more efficiently.
  
  

• Antioxidants like Vitamin E and rosemary extract help combat oxidative stress—protecting heart cells from damage over time.

Why Low Fat, High Protein Matters

A healthy heart starts with what’s in your dog’s bowl—or treat jar. Extra fat can add unnecessary strain to your dog’s cardiovascular system, especially in breeds prone to weight gain or heart issues. That’s why Champ’s treats are crafted to be low in fat and packed with real, high-quality protein—supporting lean muscle mass and a healthy weight without the extra calories.

But heart health isn’t just about avoiding risk—it’s about fueling vitality and helping your dog live their most energetic, tail-wagging life.

Real Treats, Real Benefits

Great treats go beyond great taste. The right snacks can deliver real nutritional benefits, like taurine for heart function or omega-3s to support circulation and reduce inflammation. Champ’s treats make it easy to provide these essentials in a way your dog actually looks forward to. Whether you’re raising a playful puppy or caring for a senior pup with aging joints and a slowing metabolism, heart-smart treats are a small but powerful way to support whole-body wellness.

Start Early, Stay Strong

Heart health isn’t just something to think about later in life. Puppies benefit from early nutrient support as they grow and develop strong hearts. Adults need balanced nutrition to maintain stamina and prevent future issues. And senior dogs? They thrive when cardiovascular strain is minimized and their systems are supported with targeted nutrients.

No matter your dog’s age or breed, a heart-healthy routine today can help them stay strong, active, and happy for years to come.
