Gastrointestinal Disorders
GASTRO-INTESTINAL LOW FAT is a complete dietetic food for the nutritional management of dogs formulated to regulate lipid metabolism in the case of hyperlipidaemia. This food contains a low level of fat and a high level of essential fatty acids.
- Chronic and acute diarrhoea
- Hyperlipidaemia
- Lymphangiectasia
- Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
- [acute_chronic_pancreatitis]
- [Exudative_enteropathy]
- [bacterial_overgrowth]
- Pregnancy
- Lactation
The feeding duration varies depending on the severity of gastrointestinal signs.
Combination of highly digestible proteins, prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides & mannan-oligo-saccharides), sugar beet pulp, rice and fish oil to ensure maximum digestive security.
A low fat concentration improves digestive function in dogs with hyperlipidæmia or with acute pancreatitis.
Low level of soluble fibres to help limit colic fermentations. Low level of insoluble fibre to avoid energy dilution and limit possibly negative impact on palatability in a low fat diet.
The synergistic antioxidant complex reduces oxidative stress and fights free radicals.
