CARDIO RENAL DOG
- Mature cat with chronic heart
failure or chronic kidney failure
"Dietetics is the best way to control chronic kidney failure.
Dietetics must counterbalance a diminished ability to
eliminate waste and must also compensate for certain
elements leaking from the kidneys.
In the case of heart failure, a properly formulated ration
offers vital back-up to medical treatmetn. For example, it helps combat high blood
pressure. Finally, dietetics must also take into account the constantly decreasing
appetite in dogs with chronic heart failure or chronic kidney failure."
INDICATIONS
 Dog with chronic kidney failure
 Dog with chronic heart failure
 Prevention of recurrences of urinary stones (urate)
CONTRA-INDICATIONS

Growing puppy
 Pregnant or lactating bitch
 Dog with low blood protein
 Dog predisposed to struvite urinary stones
INGREDIENTS
Cooked cereals, animal fats, fish and rape oils, maize proteins, dehydrated meat
(poultry), beet pulp, linseed, calcium carbonate, powdered egg, pregelatinised starch,
hydrolysed proteins, potassium citrate, fructooligosaccharides, DL-methionine,
vegetable fibres, taurine, powdered tomato, chitosan, maritime pine powder,
minerals, trace elements and vitamins. Antioxidants : EC additives.
NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
 High energy density, thanks to a high fat content, allows small volume
rations in dogs with an often irregular appetite. Moreover, coated fats
contribute to an excellent palatability.
 Low protein contribution and proteins of high biological value help combat
uraemia (urea in blood)
 High soluble fibre content helps reduce nitrogen levels in the body.
 Reinforced contribution of omega 3 essential fatty acids helps curb the
progress of circulatory system failure and kidney failure.
 Low phosphorus content helps combat hyperphosphatemia (high blood
phosphorus) and protects the kidney function.
 Unchanged levels of calcium help combat secondary hyperparathyroidism
(overactive parathyroid gland).
 High potassium content compensates for leakage of potassium through the
kidneys.
 Low sodium content helps combat high blood pressure.
 Richness in vitamin E, selenium and tomato lycopene, an anti-oxidant
complex, protects against cell ageing and helps prevent further damage to the
blood vessels, heart and kidneys.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Chronic heart failure – Taurine + maritime pine polyphenols
Taurine regulates heart contractions and protects the heart muscle by virtue of its
anti-oxidant action.
The extract of maritime pine is rich in polyphenols which have anti-oxidant properties.
It helps to protect blood vessels and the heart muscle from degenerative processes
and helps blood circulation.
Chronic kidney failure – Chitosan
Chitosan, a purified extract of the shell of crustaceans, helps to lower concentrations
of phosphorus, urea and ammonia in the blood and helps preserve kdiney function.
+ Omega 3 essential fatty acids
Omega 3 essential fatty acids, precursors of molecules with anti-inflammatory,
vasodilatory and anti-blood clothing properties, contribute to improving general
circulation. They also promote improved blood supply to the kidneys and thus delay
the progress of chronic kidney failure.
+ vitamin E, selenium and tomato lycopene
These antioxidants help to slow down the development of degenerative illnesses
