Convalescence Intensive Care
RECOVERY is a complete dietetic food for dogs and cats, formulated to promote nutritional restoration during convalescence or in case of feline hepatic lipidosis. With a high energy density, this food contains concentrated essential nutrients and highly digestible ingredients.
Feeding Duration:
Until restoration is achieved, according to the veterinarian’s assessment.
* For naso-oesophageal tubes with a diameter less than 10 french, its is generally advised to dilute 1 volume of Recovery with 1 volume of water or to use Convalescence Support Instant Diet.
The high energy content of Recovery helps compensate the volume reduction of food intake with fussy pets
Recovery texture makes it easier to use for periodic syringe feeding and tube feeding
Hospitalized pets often show a decreased appetite and weight loss. Owing to its fine palatability, Recovery fosters spontaneous consumption
The synergistic antioxydant complex (vitamin. E, vitamin. C, taurine and luteine) helps fight cellular agressions induced by oxidative stress and promotes good health of the immune system
