According to the veterinarian’s assessment.
Convalescence Instant Diet has a high energy concentration (4734 kcal/kg dry matter). Easily diluted with water, it becomes an energy dense and complete liquid diet which is highly palatable and highly digestible
Antioxidant complex (Vit E, Vit C, taurine and lutein) reduces cell stresses caused by oxidative stress and free radicals
Highly digestible ingredients compensate for the decreased activity of intestinal enzymes, ensuring an optimal nutrient supply

Convalescence Instant Diet can be diluted with water and fed by tube, syringe or voluntary feeding or the powder can be sprinkled on the pet’s daily food.
