What is SPECIFIC Canine Special Care Heart & Kidney Support dry food?

 

SPECIFIC Heart & Kidney Support is a complete and balanced dry food for dogs with reduced heart, kidney and/or liver function. It is also designed to help prevent the formation of calcium oxalate, urate or cystine stones.

 

The high levels of Omega-3 fish oils support heart rhythm and blood pressure, as well as also helping to support kidney function. The reduced protein content helps to lower the workload on the kidneys.

 

A restricted phosphorus content slows the decline of kidney function and, alongside reduced salt content, helps support normal blood pressure. The added L-carnitine and taurine helps support the heart muscle function.

 

SPECIFIC Heart & Kidney Support helps prevent the formation of calcium oxalate, urate and cystine stones due to the lower protein levels and raised potassium citrate levels. To further aid stone formation prevention, this diet promotes alkaline urine.

 

This diet is packed under nitrogen to preserve the fragile Omega-3 fish oils.

Steps to ideal bodyweight

 

Weight check:  Get your dog's body condition checked and weighed.

 

Planning:  Work with your vet to decide what is the target weight. Choose a suitable food for your dog's needs, and then calculate the daily feeding amount.

 

Implement the feeding:  It’s important that you measure out the food so, if you need to you can easily and accurately adjust it.

 

Regularly weigh your dog:  A simple way to do this is weigh yourself, then weigh yourself while holding your dog then subtract the two numbers. If you have a larger breed or are unable to carry the dog, it is advised to get your dog to sit on some bathroom scales, or pop into your vets to use the scales in the waiting room!

 

Be patient – It’s not going to happen overnight but if you stick with it your dog will reach their target weight, and it will all be worth it with a happier healthy dog.

 

Maintain weight:  Once you have reached target weight you need to make sure they stay there by choosing a suitable food for your dog's needs.

 

Remember: If your dog is on a diet, be careful not to spoil the good work with treats (especially table scraps), and make sure everyone knows what you are doing!

Les animaux insuffisants cardiaques et/ou rénaux ont bien souvent un appétit diminué et la formulation des aliments conseillés pour ces pathologies ne permet pas toujours d'atteindre une appétence suffisante.
Grâce à sa formulation unique et au choix d'une nouvelle technique d'enrobage, SPECIFIC CKD Heart and Kidney Support bénéficie d'une appétence optimale, ce qui permet de faciliter l'observance à long terme.

Contre-indications :
o Croissance, gestation, lactation.
o Chiens ayant des besoins protéiques élevés.
o Cholestase, hyperlipidémie, pancréatite.
o Urolithiases à struvite.
