MAIN BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Promotes nutritional recovery*
The food provides high levels of essential nutrients and energy to help the body recover.
Hypoallergenic composition
The food contains no beef, gluten, corn, wheat, soy, egg, or fish. Protein sources are limited to three (pork, poultry, and rice) to reduce antigenic load and minimise adverse digestive reactions.
High energy content and density*
Thanks to its high energy density, smaller daily portions can be provided, which reduces the workload on the digestive tract. The food is rich in energy from fat and protein, both of which are easily digestible and support the animal during the most critical recovery stage. The high concentration of essential nutrients makes it possible to meet demanding nutritional needs with small portion sizes.
Low starch content (17% of the formula)
The food contains a low level of starch from a single source (rice), helping to reduce stress on the digestive tract, increase digestibility, and improve gastrointestinal tolerance.
Digest Plus Complex
Added functional ingredients (clay, probiotics, prebiotics, selected fibres, butyrate, nucleotides) support digestive function, improve gastrointestinal tolerance, and normalise stool consistency.
OTHER BENEFITS AND FEATURES
Increases water intake
The food contains high levels of protein and sodium, which help increase water intake and replace lost electrolytes.
Supports gastrointestinal defence mechanisms
Added functional ingredients (beta-glucan, butyrate, nucleotides) support the gut’s natural defence mechanisms and help prevent recurrence of issues in the long term (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac)(1).
Enhances immunity
The food is rich in protein and contains a balanced level of amino acids, beta-glucan, and vitamin E, which together help strengthen the immune system and speed up recovery.
High palatability
The food is rich in animal protein and fat, ensuring palatability (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac)(1).
Suitable for all life stages
The food provides the necessary nutrients for all life stages and can therefore be fed to puppies, adults, pregnant and lactating females, as well as senior dogs.
