Management of primary condition

SKIN/COAT DISEASE Management

Modulates inflammatory cascade:

• Increased omega-3 (1.1%), especially EPA+DHA (0.5%)
• Increased omega-6 GLA (0.03%)
• Balanced omega 6:3 ratio: (LA+GLA)/(EPA+DHA)= 5:1
• Essential fatty acids co-factors: vitamins A (13560 IU/kg) and E (570 mg/kg)
• The association helps modulate signs related to inflammatory processes: redness, itching.

• Supports skin integrity:
• High protein content (34%), especially of animal origin (88%) and the richness in sulphur amino acids (methionine + cystine 1.3%) help regulate keratinisation and achieve epidermal integrity.
• Increased LA+GLA (2.7%) helps correct epidermal lipid defects and scale  production.
• Essential fatty acids co-factor: Vitamin A (13560 IU/kg) also contributes to the preservation of skin integrity by regulating keratogenesis.

Improves coat condition:

• Stimulates Hair regrowth: The high dietary protein content (34%), mainly of animal origin (88%), and the richness in sulphur amino acids (methionine + cystine 1.3%) are the structural basis for proper hair regrowth.
• Stimulates Hair recoloring: The high dietary protein content (34%), of animal origin (88%), and the richness in aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine + tyrosine 2.1%) contribute to proper hair recoloring.
• Improves oily skin and promotes shiny coat:
•  High omega-6 (3.0%), high LA (2.7%), key precursor of lipid cement in the stratum cormeum and the in the superficial lipid film, and high vitamin A as essential fatty acids co-factor, in order to regulate sebaceous secretion for a shiny coat.

Supports skin barrier effect:

• Increased omega-6 (3.0%), especially LA (2.7%)
• Balanced omega 6:3 ratio: (LA+GLA)/(EPA+DHA)= 5:1
• They help restore normal composition and function of the epidermal lipid barrier. They help control transepidermal water loss. Skin barrier help protect from external agressions and help reduce percutaneous exposure to allergens.

Restoration of body condition

• Lean mass preservation: The high protein content (34%) helps maintain the lean mass.

• Fat mass limitation: The low carbohydrate content (26.5%) and added L-carnitine (330 mg/kg) as fat burner, help limit the deposit of fatty tissue.

Additional health benefits 

Withdrawal of major allergens:

The diet is made without beef, gluten, maize, wheat, soya, egg, dairy products.

Immune support:

The high protein content (34%), with especially the richness in glutamine (4.2%), arginine (2.2%) and sulphur amino acids (methionine + cystine: 1.3%), and added vitamin E (570 mg/kg) help to maintain a healthy immune system.

High Digestive tolerance:

The addition of Sepiolite, Lactobacilli, lignocellulose, FOS, and psyllium helps maintain a healthy digestive tract (mucosa, microbiota, transit).

Urinary health:

The high level of dietary protein (34%), mainly of animal origin (88%), stimulates water intake, increases the urine volume and helps stabilize the urinary pH.

Healthy renal function:

The high content of protein (34%), of high quality (in vivo apparent protein digestibility coefficient: 81%), contributes to increased water turn over.

Low glycemic index:

The HP-LC formulation (protein 34%, carbohydrate 26.5%) and the low amount of starch (20%) and total sugars (1.2%) help limit the impact of the meal on post prandial blood glucose concentration.
