DIGESTIVE CAT
- Adult cat with digestive
disorders
"A hyperdigestible food is best for a cat with digestive and/or
hepatic disorders as the ingredients have outstanding
nutritional and organoleptic qualities. Digestive mucosa and
bacterial flora in the gut must be protected."
INDICATIONS
 Maldigestion-malabsorption syndrome
 Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
 Exocrine pancreatic failure
 Colitis (except of allergenic origin)
 Megacolon
 Convalescence after digestive surgery, surgery of the perineum, orthopaedic
surgery of the pelvis (simple cases with no weight loss)
COUNTER INDICATIONS
 None. This food can be given throughout the cat’s life.
INGREDIENTS
Dehydrated meat and fish* - powdered egg* and hydrolysed proteins*, cooked
cereals, animal fats, maize proteins*, pregelatinised starch*, linseed, soya lecithin,
beet pulp, soluble fibres, DL-methionine, fructo-oligosaccharides, taurine, borage oil,
purified clay, powdered artichoke, minerals, trace elements and vitamins. With antioxidants : EC additives. * Highly digestible ingredients and protein sources.
NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
 Such carefully selected ingredients guarantee the very high digestibility of
the food, compensating maldisgestion.
 The high protein contribution allows to compensate for protein digestive
losses.
 Pregelatinised starch guarantees good digestive tolerance.
 Soluble fibres optimize digestive flora and the integrity of colic mucosa.
 Richness in essential fatty acids, and a ratio of 4, curbs undesirable
inflammatory processes.
 Richness in vitamin E and selenium, an anti-oxidant complex, protects
against cell ageing.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Maldigestion – Purified clay + Fructo-oligosaccharides
Clay protects digestive mucosa, fosters cicatrization, helps curb inflammation and
infection, and standardizes the consistency and smell of stools.
Fructo-oligosaccharides, soluble fibres, are prebiotics. They contribute to the balance
of the bacterial digestive flora and also to the integrity of colic mucosa.
Pancreatic failure – Lecithin
Lecithin is an emulsifying agent that helps render fats soluble and thus easier to
digest. It minimizes exocrine pancreatic failure.
