Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Canine Gastro Intestinal Low Fat 6kg Pet: Dog Category: Dog Supplies Size: 6.1kg Rich Description: Dietary therapy is crucial for the management of gastrointestinal disorders both in the short and long term. Pets recovering from gastrointestinal disease require a diet that is easily digestible and nonirritating to aid in recovery. Low levels of fat are important as the process of fat digestion is complex and often impeded by gastrointestinal disease. Some fat is still necessary in the diet however to provide sufficient energy for the healing process as well to increase palatability for pets with poor appetites. Ideally the diet should also contain highly digestible proteins and carbohydrates moderate levels of mixed soluble and insoluble fibre as well as prebiotics to assist in intestinal motility and support the growth of normal bacterial microflora. Supplementing the diet with omega3 fatty acids from fish oil may also be beneficial to dogs with gastrointestinal disease due to anti inflammatory effects.
