Recommended for

• Critical care
• Cancer
• Post-surgery
• Burns
• Trauma
• Sepsis
• Anorexia
• Tube feeding
• Cachexia
• Feline hepatic lipidosis
• Malnutrition

Benefits

• All Ages - Highly digestible ingredients compensate for decreased digestion and ensure an optimal uptake of nutrients during periods of nutritional restoration and convalescence
• High Energy and nutrients - High levels of energy, fat, protein and other essential nutrients support recovery and allow a reduction in the required amount of food, which is an advantage for dogs and cats with an increased requirement and/or reduced food intake
• Immune Support - Contains ß-1,3/1,6-glucans and increased levels of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, selenium and arginine to support the immune status. Beta-glucans can bind to macrophages and alert the immune system, thereby supporting the immune response and altering cytokine production
• Cachexia & recovery support - The high energy density, high concentration of essential nutrients, high digestibility and excellent palatability support recovery from disease, surgery, injuries or periods of debility
• Tube Feeding - The special soft texture, which will become more liquid after stirring, makes it also suitable for syringe and tube feeding. For use in small tubes it is recommended to add 1 or 2 parts of water
