4Vets Natural Renal Wet Veterinary Dog Food for Dogs with Kidney Failure, 185 g

Complete and balanced dietetic dog food for dogs with chronic or long-term kidney failure.Once symptoms have subsided, and in older dogs, it can serve as a preventive measure.Reduced phosphorus and sodium content, along with a limited intake of high-quality protein, have a beneficial effect on kidney function.The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in the diet help reduce inflammation.

Duration of use: It is recommended to follow this diet for up to 6 months initially; to determine an appropriate feeding plan or before extending the duration of use, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian.

Food based on high-quality, low-fat animal protein sources.The addition of chicken eggs raises the limiting amino acid ratio to a level that ensures the proper balance in the absorption of all amino acids.The amount of protein meets the body's minimum requirement for essential amino acids, but does not cause their excessive catabolism or the formation of byproducts that could impair kidney function.

The presence of fatty acids derived from both animal-based sources (turkey and salmon fat) as well as salmon oil ensures maximum involvement of polyunsaturated fatty acids from the n-3 and n-6 families in the biochemical regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine production and, through specific inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-2), they exhibit analgesic and vasodilatory effects on the vascular smooth muscle in the kidney.The n-6:n-3 fatty acid ratio is 1:1.6.

In the RENAL veterinary diet, the ingredients have been selected to ensure that the diet has a reduced phosphorus content, thereby slowing the progression of degenerative changes in the kidneys.A reduced sodium content lowers the filtration pressure in the kidney.

The addition of L-carnitine ensures targeted and facilitated transport of medium-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are metabolized, the resulting lipolytic effect inhibits the use of proteins for energy, thereby reducing the amount of protein catabolism byproducts reaching the kidneys.

Mannooligosaccharides, beta-glucans, inulin, and psyllium stimulate digestive function and the absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract, and promote peristalsis.

Important ingredients in the RENAL diet include DL-methionine, cranberries, and parsley.The essential oils (limonene, eugenol) and flavonoids found in parsley have a diuretic effect, contributing to increased glomerular filtration.Cranberries, which are rich in procyanidins, combined with DL-methionine, help lower the pH of urine in the bladder, thereby controlling the growth of pathogenic microflora.
