Veterinary HPM Clinical Diet - Gastro for Dogs (Previously: VetComplex Digestive)

Veterinary HPM Clinical Diet - Gastro Digestive Support

An easily digestible food with the right combination of ingredients is important for dogs with gastrointestinal disorders and/or liver problems. The composition of the Gastro Clinical Diet from Virbac protects the stomach and intestinal tract. The bacterial flora of the large intestine is also supported to help maintain optimum health, reducing the risk of a disruption of the bacterial composition. This nutritional diet can be provided for life, or during a time of ill health.

Use for:

• Maldigestion malabsorption syndrome (where the absorption of nutrients and digestion are disturbed in the gastrointestinal tract)
• Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine
• Large dogs with an increased risk of gastric dilatation / gastric torsion
• Impaired functioning of the pancreas
• Hepatic
• Acute colitis (inflammation of the colon)
• Megacolon (enlarged, elongated colon)
• Recovery after surgery in which there is no weight loss or tube feeding

Not suitable for

• Cases of digestive disturbances during the first phase of growth.
• When used after the first phase of growth, this diet has no negative side effects and can be given throughout the dog's adult life.

Key features

The composition of this Virbac food ensures that it is very easy to digest despite the intestines not functioning at their optimum level. The content of proteins prevents overloading of the liver. The starch (treated with water) is easier to handle for the body and produces a slower response than unprocessed starch. The soluble fibre promotes a healthy bacterial composition and keeps the lining of the large intestine healthy. Veterinary HPM Clinical Diet - Gastro Digestive Support chunks are coated with fat, making them very palatable. The nutritional supply also contains a high energy content which makes it possible to give small portions to the dog, therefore relieving the burden on the intestines, easing digestion. A high content of the essential fatty acids, Omega-3 and 6, which are present at an optimum ratio, help reduce inflammation. The added Vitamin E and Selenium (a complex antioxidant) protects the cells against ageing.
