Gastrointestinal Disorders
DIGESTIVE Low Fat is a complete dietetic food for dogs formulated as compensation for maldigestion. This diet contains highly digestible ingredients and a low level of fat.
Feeding duration:
The feeding duration varies depending on the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms.
The restricted fat level improves digestive function in dogs with hyperlipidaemia, acute pancreatitis, EPI etc
The low fibre content ensures high digestibility and nutrient absorption
Highly digestible carbohydrates compensate for the decreased enzymatic performance in the intestinal brush border
Fructo-Oligo-Saccharides and beet pulp stimulate the growth of the beneficial intestinal flora. Mannan-Oligo-Saccharides modulate immune function
Further information:
Digestive Low Fat Canine has a low fat and fibre content, contains highly digestible proteins and wheat gluten-free sources of carbohydrates (maize and rice). These features ensure effective nutrient absorption, reduce the severity of clinical signs and allow regeneration and protection of the intestinal mucosa especially in pathologies where fats are poorly tolerated.
Recommended daily quantities (g/day):
Water should be available at all times
