The role of dietary management in canine heart disease is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Feeding controlled levels of key nutrients may reduce the workload on the heart while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. Because heart failure may compromise other internal organs such as the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and liver, it is also important to provide a highly digestible, easily metabolized diet that the patient will readily consume. Adult dogs get complete and balanced nutrition with this formula. With low sodium and high potassium, This formula is especially appropriate for dogs with certain heart conditions.
The role of dietary management in canine diabetes mellitus and colitis is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber help to delay the absorption of glucose from the intestinal tract and minimize postprandial fluctuation of glucose in dogs with diabetes mellitus. Soluble fiber in the diet may also prolong gastrointestinal transit time, allow greater water absorption, and promote the production of short chain fatty acids, which nourish the intestinal mucosa. DCO Diabetes COlitis Formula provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of adult dogs. Its high level of complex carbohydrates, increased dietary fiber and a moderate level of calories help meet the special needs of dogs with diabetes or colitis.
The role of dietary management in canine gastrointestinal conditions is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Dietary fats from long chain triglycerides (LCT) can be one of the most complex nutrients to digest, and fermentation of undigested fats can contribute to diarrhea. Medium chain triglycerides (MCT) provide a readily digested and utilized energy source. Feeding a properly formulated diet designed to be highly digestible yet restricted in long chain triglycerides may be beneficial in the management of certain gastrointestinal conditions while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. EN GastroENteric Formula is a palatable nutritional aid for dogs with gastrointestinal conditions such as gastritis, enteritis and diarrhea. With low fat and low fiber, this diet is highly digestible as well as good-tasting. This canine formula is a complete and balanced diet for the growth of puppies and the maintenance of adult dogs.
The role of dietary management in canine food allergy is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Most common food allergens are proteins with molecular weight of 18,000 to 36,000 daltons. Protein modification is the process that alters the physical characteristics of protein molecules, reducing the antigenicity and rendering them less able to elicit an immune response. By reducing the molecular weight of the protein molecule below 18,000 daltons, this process can result in a protein that is truly hypoallergenic. This revolutionary formula is a truly hypoallergenic diet for the management of canine food allergy. Most common food allergens are proteins with a molecular weight of 18,000 to 36,000 daltons. But Purina has modified the protein source in HA HypoAllergenic Formula so that it has a much smaller average molecular weight and is less likely to induce an allergic response in dogs. HA HypoAllergenic Formula can also be used as an elimination diet for the confirmation of suspected food allergies.
The role of dietary management in canine food allergy is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Nutritional management of food hypersensitivity involves the identification and avoidance of the offending antigenic proteins. Providing a diet with a limited number of novel protein ingredients may be helpful in the management of dogs with allergies to more common proteins. Omega-3 fatty acids may also be beneficial in reducing the inflammation associated with allergic dermatitis and other inflammatory skin conditions. The novel protein sources – salmon meal, trout and canola meal – in this limited-antigen diet are not typically found in canine diets. It also contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which may be beneficial in managing allergic dermatitis and other skin conditions. LA Limited Antigen Formula can be used to help manage dogs with food allergies to common proteins and those with certain other inflammatory conditions.
The role of dietary management in canine kidney conditions is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Low phosphorus intake helps to protect against hyperphosphatemia and the associated renal damage. Restricted but high quality protein in the diet minimizes the intake of nonessential amino acids. This helps decrease the production of nitrogenous waste products. Reduced levels of sodium help compensate for the diseased kidney’s inability to regulate this important mineral. Increased omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce glomerular hypertension. With low protein and phosphorus, and added B-complex vitamins and potassium, NF KidNey Function Formula provides specially formulated nutrition for dogs with certain kidney conditions. Balanced for maintenance in dogs, this diet is highly palatable.
The role of dietary management in canine obesity is to provide a proper balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Dietary fats contribute more than twice the available energy compared to carbohydrates and protein. A low fat diet can be helpful in controlling calorie intake. Dietary crude fiber is poorly digested and helps reduce the amount of available calories and may contribute to satiety. Feeding a properly formulated diet designed to be restricted in calories and high in fiber may be beneficial in the management of obesity while meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. Overweight dogs should be fed low-fat, high-fiber, reduced-calorie diets. With OM Overweight Management Formula, weight loss is healthy because dogs lose fat and retain muscle. OBESITY MANAGEMENT CANINE BISCUITS are exceptionally palatable low calorie snacks can be used as part of the complete Purina Veterinary Diets™ Obesity Management Program or as a healthy treat with any diet.
