EN — For dog owners. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an enlarged-heart disease. A few years ago, FDA looked at whether certain dog foods (often "grain-free" / legume-heavy recipes) might be linked to DCM. FDA's own conclusion: the reported data by themselves, they do not supply sufficient data to establish a causal relationship with reported product(s). FDA says the potential association between diet and DCM in dogs is a complex scientific issue that may involve multiple factors. If you are worried, FDA advises owners to get appropriate dietary advice for their pet's specific needs prior to making diet changes. Note: FDA does not intend to release further public updates until there is meaningful new scientific information to share. Bottom line — no proven "grain-free causes DCM" link; talk to your vet before switching food.
中文 — 给养狗主人。 扩张型心肌病（DCM）是一种心脏扩大的疾病。几年前 FDA 调查了某些犬粮（常是"无谷物"/高豆类配方）是否与 DCM 有关。FDA 自己的结论是：现有报告数据本身不足以建立与所报告产品之间的因果关系。FDA 认为饮食与 DCM 的关联是一个可能涉及多种因素的复杂科学问题。如果担心，FDA 建议主人在改变饮食前先咨询针对宠物具体需求的合适饮食建议。注意：FDA不打算在有重大新科学信息分享前发布进一步公开更新。结论——没有证实"无谷物导致 DCM"的因果链；换粮前先问兽医。
