On July 12, 2018, FDA issued a public notification (/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm613305.htm) about the agency’s investigation into reports of canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs eating certain pet foods. While it is early in the investigation, the Center for Veterinary Medicine recognizes that you may have questions. Below we have compiled answers to address some of the frequently asked questions raised by pet owners and veterinarians.
1. What potential connection is the FDA investigating? fDa is investigating a potential dietary link between canine dilated cardiomyopathy (Dcm) and dogs eating certain pet foods containing legumes like peas or lentils, other legume seeds, or potatoes as main ingredients. we began investigat- ing after fDa‘s center for Veterinary medicine (cVm) received a number of reports of Dcm in dogs eating these diets. Dcm itself is not considered rare in dogs, but these reports are unusual because many of the reported cases occurred in breeds of dogs not typically genetically prone to the disease and were reported to have been fed the same type of diet (la- beled as “grain-free”).
2. What is the FDA doing about this possible connection?
The fDa’s center for Veterinary medicine (cVm) and the Veterinary laboratory investigation and response Network, a collaboration of government and veterinary diagnostic laboratories, are investigating this potential association. we are working with board certified veterinary cardiologists and veterinary nutritionists to better understand the clinical presenta- tion of the cases. The agency has also been in contact with pet food manufacturers to discuss these reports and to help further the investigation. in addition, we are analyzing information from case reports submitted by pet owners and veteri- narians. we will continue to work with all of these stakeholders to help advance our ongoing investigation.
3. What is canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)?
Dcm is a disease of a dog’s heart muscle and results in an enlarged heart. as the heart and its chambers become dilated, it becomes harder for the heart to pump, and heart valves may leak, which can lead to a buildup of fluids in the chest and abdomen (congestive heart failure). if caught early, heart function may improve in cases that are not linked to genetics with appropriate veterinary treatment and dietary modification.
4. Why did the FDA notify the public about the possible connection if the agency doesn’t have definitive an- swers? while it is early in the investigation, the fDa’s center for Veterinary medicine (cVm) felt a responsibility to shed light on an early signal that we have been made aware of and to solicit reports from pet owners and vets that may know of related cases. The data provided through reports will help inform the investigation.
5. How many cases have been reported to the FDA? prior to issuing our public notification (/animalVeterinary/Newsevents/cVmupdates/ucm613305.htm) on July 12, 2018, the fDa received sporadic reports involving 30 dogs and seven cats. in the reports we received, some of the dogs showed signs of heart disease, including decreased energy, cough, difficulty breathing, and episodes of collapse. we are aware that the veterinary cardiology community has received more reports (approximately 150 as of 7/12/18). since issuing the public notification, cVm has received many additional reports, but we are still in the process of reviewing them.
http://www.vcaweb.org | The Vizsla News - page 7 6. What brands of food have been included in the reports to the FDA?
There is a range of different brands and formulas included in the reports. rather than brands, the common thread appears to be legumes, pulses (seeds of legumes), and/or potatoes as main ingredients in the food. This also includes protein, starch and fiber derivatives of these ingredients, (e.g., pea protein, pea starch, or pea fiber). some reports we have re- ceived also seem to indicate that the pets were not eating any other foods for several months to years prior to exhibiting signs of Dcm.
7. What are legumes? legumes are part of the fabaceae plant family, and are the fruit or seed of these plants. common legumes include peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas, soybeans, and peanuts. legumes are used for both human and animal food and have become a common plant-based source of protein.
8. Does the FDA think this possible link includes diets with rice? rice is a grain, not a legume. The current reports do not suggest there is any link between diets with rice and Dcm in dogs.
9. Are sweet potatoes and red potatoes classified as potatoes? yes.
10. What does the FDA consider a “main ingredient”?
There is no hard and fast rule for what qualifies as a “main ingredient.” we generally consider a "main ingredient" to be listed in a food’s ingredient list before the first vitamin or mineral ingredient.
11. Does the FDA know what it is about these foods that may be connected to canine DCM? at this time, it is not clear what it is about these diets that may be connected to Dcm in dogs. Taurine deficiency is well- documented as a potential cause of Dcm, but it is not the only cause of Dcm. Nutritional makeup of the main ingredients or how dogs process them, main ingredient sourcing, processing, amount used, or other factors could be involved.
12. How do I know if my pet’s food is one of the diets discussed in the FDA’s public notification? we suggest reviewing the ingredient list on your pet’s food to see whether legumes and/or potatoes are listed as one of the main ingredients.
13. Should I avoid grain-free diets? high levels of legumes or potatoes appear to be more common in diets labeled as “grain-free,” but it is not yet known how these ingredients are linked to cases of Dcm. additionally, legumes and potatoes may appear as ingredients in foods that are not labeled as “grain-free.” changes in diet, especially for dogs with Dcm, should be made in consultation with a li- censed veterinarian.
14. Do I need to change my dog’s diet? at this time, we are not advising dietary changes based solely on the information we have gathered so far. if you have questions or concerns about your dog’s health or its diet, we suggest that you consult your veterinarian for individualized advice that takes into account your dog’s specific needs and medical history.
15. What’s the safest diet for my dog?
Different dogs have different nutritional needs based on a number of factors, so nutrition advice is not one-size-fits-all. The fDa recommends consulting your veterinarian for personalized advice about what to feed your dog.

Grant 02217: A Novel Mechanism to Regulate the Growth of Canine Hemangiosarcoma
Principal Investigator: erin Dickerson, phD research Institution: university of minnesota Grant Amount: $86,206.00 Start Date: 1/1/2016 End Date: 6/30/2018 Progress Report: FINAL Report Due: 6/30/2018 Report Received: 7/16/2018

Original Project Description: hemangiosarcoma is an extremely aggressive cancer that is rapidly fatal in dogs. while the lifetime risk is alarmingly high for some breeds such as golden retrievers and german shepherd Dogs, the disease does not discriminate, and it can strike any dog at any time. Despite considerable efforts by veterinarians and scientists to find effective treatments, the out- come for dogs with hemangiosarcoma has changed very little over the past few decades. recent evidence provides es- sential clues into how these tumors grow and progress, generating new ideas for treatment approaches. such new evidence suggests that hemangiosarcoma cells rely on the metabolism of lipids or fatty acids to supply energy for tissue invasion or continued tumor growth. To obtain these lipids, hemangiosarcomas may take over the metabolic ma- chinery of neighboring cells, forcing them to produce nutrients for the tumor cells to help them proliferate and grow. This study will verify that tumor cells rely on lipid metabolism for growth, and determine if tumor cells alter the metabolism of fat cells to obtain cellular nutrients and accelerate tumor cell lipid metabolism. identifying and exploiting a novel mechanism that may disrupt this process by inhibiting the interactions between tumor cells and cells in the tumor environment will speed clinical investigations, and ultimately lead to improved outcomes for dogs with this devastating disease.
Publications: we have not yet published any of our findings. we anticipate that the following data will be part of a paper that is currently in preparation, and we plan to submit this paper in 2018:
1) immunohistochemistry of -ar and tyrosine hydroxylase expression in primary hemangiosarcomas. 2) expression of -ars and the catecholamine enzymes in hemangiosarcoma cell lines. 3) expression norepinephrine and dopamine in hemangiosarcoma cell lines. 4) Treatment of hemangiosarcoma and angiosarcoma cell lines with doxorubicin leads to an increase in Th expression, as well as an increase in the synthesis of dopamine and norepinephrine. we also anticipate the publication of a second paper in 2019 describing the majority of the findings described in this re- port.
Presentations: i attended a keystone conference on tumor metabolism in cancer cells in whistler canada in march 2017. a phD student in my lab (Derek korpela, DVm) also attended this meeting, and he presented some of the work described here. Dr. korpela and i also attended the annual Veterinary cancer society meeting, held in portland, or, october 2017. both abstracts were cho- sen for oral presentation. i presented some of this work as a state of the art presentation at the conference; Dr. korpela pre-

Report to Grant Sponsor from Investigator: hemangiosarcoma is an incurable cancer that is almost uniformly fatal. The tumors often grow quickly and spread rapidly, with half of all dogs dying within six months of diagnosis, even with treatment. because the prognosis has not changed over several decades, a better understanding of the disease is needed to develop new treatment approaches. we have found that hemangiosarcoma cells appear to rely on the metabolism of lipids to supply some of the energy and essential building blocks needed for tumor growth. we also found that propranolol, a common drug used to treat heart disease in both dogs and people, limits the uptake of lipids into cells and blocks the cell’s ability to process these compounds. can- cer cells have been shown to impose a self-serving metabolic program on normal cells by forcing normal cells to supply nutrients, such as sugars and lipids, to the tumor. recent studies have shown that cells like adipocytes (fat cells) can be remodeled by tumor cells to help create a niche favoring tumor growth. because propranolol can block the use of lipids by tumor cells, propranolol may be able to reverse the cancer-imposed metabolic reprogramming on adipocytes or other nor- mal cells, limiting tumor growth. for this study, we sought to:
1) characterize the lipid metabolic program(s) in hemangiosarcoma cells and determine if the use of lipids by these cells could be blocked by propranolol;
2) determine if hemangiosarcoma cells alter the metabolic program(s) of adipocytes; and
3) whether these changes in adipocytes enhanced the tumor cell growth programs and the invasive nature of heman- giosarcomas. we found that propranolol inhibited key metabolic processes in hemangiosarcoma cells, including the up- take and processing of lipids. we also found that hemangiosarcoma cells reprogrammed normal adipocytes in a way that may force the adipocytes to produce nutrients for hemangiosarcoma cells to help them proliferate and grow. parallel stud- ies supported this idea by showing that adipocytes accelerated metabolic growth programs in hemangiosarcoma cells and enhanced programs favoring more aggressive disease. future studies will be directed toward further assessing the meta- bolic programs of hemangiosarcomas and determining whether drugs like propranolol can be used to prevent the manipu- lation of adipocytes by tumor cells and reduce tumor growth and invasion.
Questions & Answers: FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine’s Investigation into a Possible Connection Between Diet and Canine Heart Disease (Continued from page 9). breathing and episodes of collapse, you should contact your veterinarian. your veterinarian may ask you for a thorough di- etary history, including all the foods (including treats) the dog has eaten.
17. How do vets and consumers submit reports to the FDA? cVm encourages pet owners and veterinary professionals to report cases of Dcm in dogs suspected of having a link to diet by using the electronic safety reporting portal (http://www.safetyreporting.hhs.gov/) or calling their state’s fDa con- sumer complaint coordinators (/safety/reportaproblem/consumercomplaintcoordinators/default‐ .htm).
18. What information does the FDA need included in the reports? please see “how to report a pet food complaint (/animalVeterinary/safetyhealth/reportaproblem/ucm182403.htm)" for additional instructions and information.
19. How long will the FDA’s investigation take?
There is no way to know how long the investigation will take, but cVm is hopeful that as we gather more data from case reports, we will gain a better understanding of this possible connection. we will continue to convey our observations pub- licly as the investigation progresses. for more information: Animal Health Literacy (/AnimalVeterinary/ResourcesforYou/AnimalHealthLiteracy/default.htm) CVM Kid's Page (/AnimalVeterinary/ResourcesforYou/AnimalHealthLiteracy/ucm136153.htm) page 10 - The Vizsla News | http://www.vcaweb.org MINUTES OF Vizsla Club of America Board of Directors Teleconference Meeting May 31, 2018 - APPROVED 8/18/2018-

This is what happens when people come together and pool resources to fight this devastat- ing disease. we are very proud to announce a collective $35,000 gift to the aKC Canine health Foundation for hemangiosarcoma Re- search initiative which will be matched 1:1 by funds provided by the american Kennel Club, the Golden Retriever Foun- dation and the Flat-Coated Retriever Foundation. in august 2018, the Vizsla Club of america (VCa), with the all star Review (asR) Committee and the Frank lacko Memo- rial Cancer Research Fund, added $15,000 ($5,000 each) to the VCa welfare Foundation’s donation of $20,000 (with $9,425 already funded by asR). $35,000 is the largest gift of its kind ever made to health research and is made pos- sible by the generous and thoughtful support by so many, over the years.
Our donation will help fund three innovative grants at three major universities which mark a multi-faceted approach to un- derstanding this devastating disease across all breeds and aim to accelerate the pathway for treatment:
1. study the tumor micro-environment at the molecular level. Grant #02217: a Novel Mechanism to Regulate the Growth of Canine has Principal investigator: Dr. erin B. Dickerson, PhD; University of Minnesota (concluded 6/30/18—see final report in this Vizsla News issue)
2. examine inflammatory responses and their connection to tick-borne diseases. Grant #02519: Prevalence of Bartonella spp. infection in Dogs with Cardiac and splenic hsa within and between Geographic locations. Principal investigator: Dr. edward B Breitschwerdt, DVM; Matthew Breen, PhD; North Carolina state University.
3. explore the use of human immuno-therapies in the treatment of disease. Grant #02510: identification of Novel synthetic lethal Partners to Optimize Pi3K Targeted Therapies in Canine hsa. Principal investigator: Dr. Cheryl a. london, DVM PhD; Tufts Medical Center. as of this writing, there are still matching funds available. if you too would like to join the assembled group above— and take advantage of an aKC match for new donations to the hemangiosarcoma initiative—please donate to our Donor- advised Fund at the aKC Canine health Foundation. all new donors will receive the same 1: 1 match and can double the impact of their gift.
To make a donation online, please go to www.akcchf.org/donatenow and, under “Choose the Type”, please select Donor-advised Funds. Next, under “Choose a Program”, scroll down and select “Vizsla DaF”. You may also opt to me- morialize a dog before adding your payment information. Or mail a check to aKC ChF, POB 900061, Raleigh NC 27675-9061 with “Vizsla DaF” in the memo line. again, we offer our sincere thanks to everyone who has made this gift possible. “everyone” means anyone who partici- pated in the all-star Review and in a VCa national event or who gave to the VCa welfare Foundation in memory of a loved one, human or dog. every donation, regardless the size, will go a long way to protecting and saving dogs from hemangiosarcoma in the future.

HANDLING: Dogs should be permitted to hunt naturally with driving them out or hacking. Dogs that do the job with the least amount of handling should get credit over dogs that require the need of continuous flow of voice or whistling in order to stay in contact with or to locate the handler. it is the business of a broken dog to keep track of his handler.
CALLING POINT: handlers are expected to signal (by rais- ing one hand) or call "point" but judges will evaluate a point whether it is called by the handler of not. With the Field Trial around the corner here is a look back into what the judges were looking for back in Sept 1963.

NON-PRODUCTiVe POiNTs: when a dog points staunchly, the handler should find birds in the area where the dog is pointing. For failure to produce birds, a false point may be charged unless the dog corrects himself quickly and moves on without directions from his handler. Running pheasants present a problem and a point may prove unproductive and yet the dog may not be charged for a false point, but sufficient opportunity should be given to relocate in a positive quick manner. The do should then be charged with inability to relocate, unless after the handler has made a conscientious effort to put the birds to flight and the judges have seen the birds run, handlers may then be ordered to fire a shot and the dog is again cast off. such finds will be evaluated.
BACKING AND INTERFERENCE: Dogs are expected to back a bracemates point either on sight or command. Nei- ther handler or his dog may in anyway interfere with the dog on point [now] or cause any undue delay in completing his work. if a dog has an opportunity to back and clearly refuses to accept the opportunity either on sight or com- mand, it will be considered a fault and will be penalized. Judges may order a cog to back should they feel this is necessary to aid them in their evaluation of the dogs for placement. when a dog has once interfered with his brace- mate handling birds, his handler should ask permission from the judges to hold or restrain his dog when his brace- mate is again on birds.
(Below is additional clarification of the various stakes found at field trials and is found in the standard procedures for field trials of the sUNFlOweR GsP Club.) a GUN DOG: is a cover dog, suitable for gunning on foot. The dog should hunt with and for his handler at all times.
