目次
① Kidney Care
This is a therapeutic diet for managing chronic kidney disease (CKD).
By reducing the content of protein and phosphorus, it is expected to support kidney function.
Since it also does not contain ‘gluten,’ which can burden the intestines, it is suitable for pets that have weak stomachs as well as those with CKD.
Typically, there are limited options for kidney care food, but this kidney care wet food offers:
For dogs: 3 types – beef, pork, chicken
For cats: 6 types – beef, pork, chicken, turkey, duck, veal
Many pets with kidney disease have sensitive tastes and may get bored of the same flavor, so it’s helpful to have a variety to rotate through.
For dry food, it contains a high amount of fat for calorie supplementation. To avoid the burden on the body from oxidized fats, it is recommended to consume within 7-10 days after opening.
Initially within 6 months.
Before use and if you wish to extend the period, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian.
Dogs are closer to omnivorous carnivores and need to ingest sufficient protein.
“High-protein diet ≠ Kidney disease.” Therefore, this therapeutic diet should only be used for dogs that have been specifically diagnosed with kidney disease by a veterinarian (stage 3 or higher according to the IRIS classification, a marker for kidney disease).
If you are unsure about the stage of your pet’s kidney disease, please refer to the following URL and have your most recent blood test results on hand.
② Gastrointestinal Care
This is a therapeutic diet specially developed to manage acute diarrhea symptoms.
It uses hydrolyzed proteins to reduce the digestive burden.
Furthermore, it contains Yucca schidigera to prevent struvite.
Since an imbalanced intestinal environment can also cause urinary stones such as struvite, it is beneficial to be able to address both gastrointestinal health and urinary stones.
Up to 12 weeks.
Before use and if you wish to extend the period, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian.
③ Allergy Care
This is a therapeutic diet specifically developed for food allergies, containing only one type of animal protein, which is the cause of allergies.
For wet food, there are four types for both dogs and cats: turkey, horse, chicken, lamb. There’s also pork for cats only, so please choose the protein source that does not cause an allergic reaction.
3-8 weeks.
Before use and if you wish to extend the period, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian.
④ pH Care (Cats only)
This therapeutic diet is specially developed to make it difficult for urinary stones to form, supporting the maintenance of the urinary pH balance with a blend of minerals.
There are two types: one for struvite and one for calcium oxalate stones, so please choose based on the results of a urine test.
Initially within 6 months.
Before use and if you wish to extend the period, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian.
⑤ Diabetes Care (Cats only)
This is a therapeutic diet designed for diabetic pets, formulated with high protein and low carbohydrates to prevent rapid spikes in postprandial blood glucose levels.
A high protein and low carbohydrate diet is also recommended for pets with tumors, as it provides an appropriate nutritional balance. Therefore, it can also be used as food for pets with tumors.
There are six types: beef, poultry (chicken and turkey), chicken liver, rabbit, salmon, and turkey heart. It is recommended to rotate these options.
Initial period: within 6 months.
It is recommended to consult with a veterinarian before using this diet and if you plan to extend the usage period.
There is a note stating that all six types can be used indefinitely if symptoms improve. However, therapeutic diets are specifically designed to address certain diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to gradually transition to regular pet food or complete nutrition food as your pet’s condition stabilizes.
Therapeutic diets are akin to medications.
Do not incorporate or discontinue them based on your own judgment. Always consult with a veterinarian before making any changes.
