Critical Canine
Designed for canines in critical condition
Semi-elemental formula
-
Allowing the body to quickly digest and absorb nutrients, with the least energy expenditure.
-
More efficient nutrient absorption by enterocytes, preventing further enterocyte atrophy.
-
Minimizes risk of diarrhea due to its balanced purified amino acids and hydrolyzed protein that maintains osmotic balance.
Indications
-
Critical illness
-
Post-operative period in debilitated patients
-
Malabsorption and maldigestion
-
Poor weight gain
-
Cachexia
-
Anorexia, inappetence
-
Acute renal disease
-
Infectious disease
-
Peritonitis
-
Autoimmune disease
-
Anemia
-

Meets AAFCO nutritional requirements as a sole adult maintenance diet
-
Malnutrition, cachexia
-
Anorexia or poor appetite
-
Nutritional support during pre- or post-operative periods
-
Failure to thrive or gain weight
-
Acute kidney disease
-
Neglect
-
Severe parasitic infestations
-

Common Features and Benefits
-
One month shelf life after opening
-
Goes through tubes as small as 5 Fr without clogging
-
Excellent for bolus tube feeding or syringe feeding (not recommended for CRI pumps)
-
Species-specific nutritional formulation
-
Essential and conditional amino acids to meet the needs of the metabolically stressed patient
-
High quality and easily digestible protein helps with lean body mass and wound healing
-
Omega-3 fatty acids to aid in tissue synthesis
-
Enriched in branched chain amino acids to benefit muscle synthesis and repair
-
Higher fiber plus highly digestible soy protein means the incidence of diarrhea is lower than with other critical care formulas
-
Purified fiber sources to maintain intestinal motility and commensal microflora
-
Hydrolyzed soy protein minimizes gastrointestinal hypersensitivity
-
Highly digestible macronutrients prevent and manage osmotic diarrhea
-
Glutamine and arginine support immunity and antioxidant systems
-
Enterocyte health maintained and supported allowing for the maximum absorbable nutrition in the gastrointestinal tract
-
Synergistic antioxidants vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and taurine to defend against oxidative stress
-
Casein supports digestion of fats and tissue synthesis while providing anxiolytic properties
-
Dietary nucleotides provide RNA and DNA precursors to support the immune system, nourish the gastrointestinal tract, and assist in weight gain
-
Hydrolyzed starch supplies glucose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, which avoids the osmotic problems associated with feeding only glucose. Vital for the acute carbohydrate needs associated with debilitation
-
L-tryptophan, a precursor for the synthesis of serotonin, to reduce stress
-
Balanced electrolytes
-
Cellulose serves as a source of insoluble fiber and acts as a prebiotic
-
Stabilized vitamins and chelated minerals
-
Free of artificial colors and preservatives
-
Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid
-
Meets AAFCO nutritional requirements for adult maintenance
