Specific CKW Heart and Kidney Support preserves for dogs with heart and kidney problems, 6 x 300 g

"Specific" CKW Heart & Kidney Support veterinary diet, preserves for dogs with heart and kidney problems SPECIFIC™ CKW Heart & Kidney Support contains exceptionally high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA extracted from fish oil and krill. In dogs with heart disease, EPA supports lean body mass, improves appetite, regulates arrhythmia, blood pressure, and platelet aggregation. In dogs with kidney failure, omega-3 fatty acids help slow the progression of the failure. In congestive heart failure, sodium excretion is reduced to compensate for reduced cardiac output, resulting in sodium and fluid retention. Reduced sodium helps break the "vicious" cycle of water retention (hypertension and edema). This is very important for patients with kidney, liver and heart diseases. A limited amount of phosphorus is necessary to prevent hyperphosphatemia and slow the progression of renal failure. Reduced protein content combined with highly biologically valuable proteins reduces azotemia in dogs with renal failure. In dogs with liver failure, this reduces the likelihood of hyperammonemia and possible hepatic encephalopathy. Biologically valuable proteins provide the dog's body with a sufficient amount of essential amino acids. A limited amount of protein reduces the concentration of oxalates, cystines and urates in the urine. Together with the alkaline pH of the urine, this protects against the formation of calcium oxalates, cystine and urate crystal deposits in the urine. The potassium citrate in the composition reduces the risk of calcium oxalate deposits. L-carnitine and taurine are added to the food to strengthen the activity of the heart muscle. The food has a high amount of water-soluble vitamins to compensate for the increased urine output due to diuretics used by heart patients. Zinc is involved in the enzymatic reaction of converting ammonia into urea and can reduce protein catabolism in muscles. In SPECIFIC™ CKW Heart & Kidney Support, the increased zinc content may contribute to the reduction of hyperammonemia in liver disease patients. The amount of copper in SPECIFIC™ CKW Heart & Kidney Support is reduced, as copper removal can be impaired due to liver disease. The excellent taste of SPECIFIC™ CKW Heart & Kidney Support maximizes the likelihood that nutritional needs will be met, even if the patient does not have a good appetite.

Metabolizable energy: 462 kJ/100g Feeding recommendations An individual dog's daily needs may vary depending on breed, environment, season, exercise and other similar factors. Therefore, it is recommended to constantly monitor the condition and weight of the dog, and adjust the amount of food accordingly. Not recommended: For puppies and male or lactating bitches. For dogs with relatively high protein needs. For patients with cholestasis. Food with a lower fat content (such as SPECIFIC™ Weight Reduction or SPECIFIC™ Senior line feed) is more suitable for them. For dogs with struvite stone disease. In dogs with hyperlipidemia or pancreatitis.
