4vets Kidney Support Veterinary Diet is a complete diet food for dogs with chronic or chronic kidney failure. After the condition is resolved and in older dogs, it can be part of prophylaxis. A reduced content of phosphorus, sodium and a limited supply of high-quality proteins have a positive effect on kidney function. Fatty acids n-3 and n-6 contained in the diet contribute to the suppression of the inflammatory process.
In the treatment of both acute and chronic nephritis, it is important to use a suitable diet with concomitant pharmacological treatment. The nutrition of dogs with chronic kidney failure is based on maintaining a normal body weight and all vital functions, so that this organ is not burdened by an excessive supply of protein and phosphorus in the food. Therefore, it is extremely important to follow a diet based on easily digestible sources of nutrients with high biological value.
Recommendations:
Consultation with a veterinarian is recommended before use or long-term use. In chronic renal failure, it is initially used for up to 6 months. Provide your dog with constant access to fresh water to drink.
Characteristics:
High-quality proteins - foods based on sources of complete animal proteins with a low fat content. The addition of hen's egg increases the limiting ratio of amino acids to a level that guarantees the correct ratio in the use of all amino acids. The amount of protein covers the minimum need for amino acids in the body, but does not cause excessive catabolism and the formation of products that could impair kidney function.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids - the presence of fatty acids from raw materials of animal origin and linseed oil ensures the maximum participation of polyunsaturated fatty acids from the Omega-3 and Omega-6 group in the biochemical control of the formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and through the specific inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity (COX- 2) exhibit analgesic and relaxing properties on the vascular muscle in the kidneys.
Reduced phosphorus content - in the Kidney Support veterinary diet, the composition of raw materials was chosen so that the diet contains a reduced phosphorus content, which suppresses degenerative changes in the kidneys.
L-carnitine - ensures the targeted and facilitated transport of medium-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are metabolized. The resulting lipolytic effect contributes to weight loss and prevents the use of protein for energy, so that fewer products of protein catabolism reach the kidneys.
The presence of manno-oligosaccharides, yeast, Mojave yucca extract - stimulate digestive functions and the absorption of nutrients from the digestive tract and regulate its peristalsis.
