Specific Vet Diet Dog Food CKD Heart & Kidney 6.5kg

描述

Specific CKD Heart & Kidney Support crackers have been developed for dogs with heart failure, hypertension or edema. They are also suitable for dogs with chronic renal impairment, hepatic impairment (except for cholestase) and urolithiasis with urate, oxalate or cystine. Omega 3 fatty acids This food has very high levels of Omega 3 EPA and DHA fatty acids, derived from fish oil. EPA promotes the maintenance of muscle mass and appetite, and normalization of heart rate, blood pressure and platelet aggregation. Omega 3 also helps slow down the progression of renal failure. Reduced sodium content The reduced sodium content of this food helps break the vicious circle of water retention, which is essential for dogs with renal, hepatic or heart failure. Limited phosphorus content A limited phosphorus content is very important to reduce hyperphosphatemia and slow down the progression of renal failure. Reduced protein content Reduced protein content and the use of high biological value protein reduces nitrogen in dogs with renal impairment. In case of hepatic impairment, this reduces the risk of hyperammonia and hepatic encephalopathy. Urinary System Health Urine concentrations of oxalate, cystine and urate are reduced due to low protein content. Combined with an alkaline urinary pH, this prevents the formation of calcium, cystine and urate oxalate crystals.
