DIGESTIVE DOG
- Adult dog with digestive or
liver disorders
"An easily digestible food is best for a dog with digestive
and/or hepatic disorders as the ingredients have
outstnading nutritional and organ supportive qualities.
Digestive mucosa and gut for a must be protected."
INDICATIONS
 Maldigestion-malabsorption syndrome
 Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
 Prdisposition to gastric dilatation-torsion (twisted stomach) syndrome
 Exocrine pancreatic failure (failure of production of digestive enzymes)
 Liver failure
 Acute colitis (inflameed large bowel)
 Megacolon (distended large bowel)
 Convalescence after digestive surgery, surgery of the perineum, orthopaedic
surgery of the pelvis (simple cases with no weight loss)
CONTRA-INDICATIONS
 None. This food can be given throughout the dog’s life.
INGREDIENTS
Dehydrated meat (poultry)*, powdered egg* and hydrolysed proteins*, cooked maize,
cooked rice, maize proteins*, animal fats, pregelatinised starch*, linseed, soya
lecithin, beet pulp, soluble fibres, sea salt, fructo-oligosaccharides, purified clay,
choline, lactobacilli, minerals, trace elements and vitamins. With anti-oxidants : EC
additives. * Highly digestible ingredients and protein sources.
NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
 Such carefully selected ingredients guarantee the very high digestibility of
the food, compensating poor digestion.
 The precisely formulated protein contribution avoids overload of metabolism.
 Pregelatinised starch guarantees good digestive tolerance.
 Soluble fibres optimize digestive flora and the integrity of gut lining.
 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 – Lactobacilli + Purified clay + Fructo-oligosaccharides
Lactobacilli (probiotics) stimulate the growth of defensive acid-producing bacteria and
reinforce local immunity.
Clay protects gut lining, promotes healing, fosters cicatrization, helps curb
inflammation and infection, and standardizes the consistency of stools.
Fructo-oligosaccharides, soluble fibres, are prebiotics. They contribute to the balance
of the bacterial digestive flora and also to the integrity of the gut lining.
Pancreatic failure – Lecithin
Lecithin is an emulsifying agent that helps render fats soluble and thus easier to
digest. It minimizes exocrine pancreatic failure.
Hepatic failure – Choline
Choline, an amino acid, is a lipotropic factor: it protects liver cells from fatty
degeneration and helps to minimize chronic liver failure.
