Heterocyclic amines (HCA)

Compounds formed during high-temperature cooking of meat, linked to cancer risks.

Why It Is Important?

Some dog breeds with a genetic predisposition to cancer may be more susceptible to the potential effects of HCAs, emphasizing the importance of dietary management.

How to Apply to Your Dog?

Avoid feeding dogs ultra-processed foods or charred meats.

Additional Information?

Include antioxidant-rich foods (e.g., blueberries, spinach) in your dog's diet to help counteract the effects of carcinogens.
