*Why do we recommend an 8 month period on a veterinary diet before transitioning to a weight maintenance diet? New habits are hard to keep- and none more so than those relating to food! Research shows that habits relating to feeding take on average 66 days to form - but for some individuals they can take as long as 8 months7. For this reason we recommend at least eight months on a veterinary diet before transitioning to a weight maintenance diet. Keeping a pet at optimal weight for eight months plus before making diet changes helps to entrench good feeding, exercise and treat habits. By this point, owners will really see the difference in their pets’ energy levels and quality of life so will be more motivated to keep good habits. However, each individual is different, so pet owners will need your expert veterinary support to keep their pet slim for life.

The importance of adequate nutrition in hospitalized patients is increasingly being recognized1,2,3. Hypermetabolism and reduced appetite, often found in ill animals, predispose these patients to undernutrition4.

Nutritional support in hospitalized patients is key to providing the required energy and nutrients, avoiding metabolic disorders and protein catabolism; and maintaining normal organ functions4.

ENERGY STORAGE LOSSES DURING FASTING

The consequent protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) can result in some adverse consequences including:

■ Impaired immune responses ■ Delayed healing ■ Hypoproteinaemia ■ Muscle weakness ■ Anaemia ■ Increased morbidity and mortality

Early patient identification for nutritional support minimises PEM consequences. The following are generally recommended as indicators of patients that require support5,6:

■ Anorexia for 3 days (cats have very limited glycogen stores and are unable to down-regulate activity of hepatic transaminases that catabolise protein).

■ Recent unintentional loss of >10% body weight. ■ Inadequate/poor lean body weight. ■ Serious underlying disease (e.g. severe trauma, peritonitis, pancreatitis, major surgery). ■ Direct protein loss (e.g. protein losing enteropathies, draining wounds). ■ Poor wound healing, hypoalbuminaemia and lymphopenia.

FEEDING GUIDELINES

In controlled diabetics it is crucial that the transition from the dog’s current diet to PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS DM Diabetes Management™ is under your careful supervision and that the blood glucose levels are closely monitored as insulin requirements may be redu-ced with this diet. The recommended period of use for the regulation of glucose supply is ini-tially up to 6 months but this diet is complete and balanced for long term use under veterinary supervision. It is recommended that a veterinary surgeon’s opinion be sought before use or before extending the period of use.

Canine DMDIABETES MANAGEMENT

®

®

As some scientific data shows, feeding dogs exclusively balanced commercial dog food, keeping them in an ideal BCS, avoiding treats abuse, and early spaying (in females), may be protective factors against Diabetes mellitus development1.

THE ROLE OF DIET IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CANINE DIABETES MELLITUSOptimal management of canine Diabetes mellitus always involves daily insulin therapy and a consistent schedule of insulin injections, meals and exercise. The primary goal of therapy is to maintain blood glucose concentrations as close to normal as possible. Additional goals include achieving and maintaining normal body weight (as obesity contributes to insulin resistance), and managing complications of diabetes such as hypercholesterolaemia and other lipid changes, and oxidative stress.

The following dietary characteristics are recommended to help manage the disease2-4:

A diet designed to help minimise post-prandial increases in blood glucose. ■ Addition of alpha amylase inhibitors is clinically proven to reduce post prandial glycaemic rise

in dogs5. ■ Low GI complex carbohydrates such as barley and soya lead to a flatter more optimal post prandial

blood glucose curve than “High GI” carbohydrates such as rice. ■ Both soluble and insoluble fibre help reduce post-prandial hyperglycaemia. ■ Mixed fibres (maize, barley, soya, pea fibre) are better at controlling post-prandial hyperglycaemia

in dogs than insoluble fibre (cellulose) alone6. ■ The diet should be low in simple carbohydrates and sugars.

Atopic dermatitis is a genetically predisposed cutaneous hypersensitivity to environmental allergens, such as pollens, moulds and house dust mites.

The multiple allergies characteristic of many dogs with allergic skin disease appear to have an “additive effect” with cutaneous signs being manifested once a “threshold” has been reached. This means that managing one allergy (e.g. the food allergy) may reduce the “allergic threshold” such that signs of other concomitant allergies may no longer be manifested.

Restriction of dietary fat levels in dogs with GI disease can therefore have several benefits such as: ■ Avoiding delayed gastric emptying, which could promote vomiting ■ Improved caloric intake by avoiding fat malassimilation ■ Limiting the quantity of malabsorbed fats being fermented to hydroxylated fatty acids ■ Limiting fat malabsorption associated with IBD, EPI, lymphangectasia, etc.

NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT OF COLITIS IN DOGSDietary management is extremely important in dogs with colitis2,3. A high digestible diet containing a combination of both soluble and insoluble fibres is highly beneficial4,5:

■ Insoluble fibres modify intestinal motility and transit times. These help motility in the colon by stimulation of both segmental and peristaltic contractions;

■ Soluble fibres are fermented with the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are preferentially used by colonocytes, and improve both the structure and function of the colon;

■ Bacterial fermentation of soluble fibre may also modify the flora in the colon, and help suppress the growth of pathogens such as Clostridia spp that can contribute to colitis.

PROBLEMS OF FAT ASSIMILATION IN SMALL INTESTINAL DISEASEFat digestion and absorption is frequently impaired in small intestinal disease:

■ Typically 90% of dietary fats are long chain triglycerides (LCTs) whose digestion and absorp-tion is complex.

■ Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are easily digested as only 2 steps are needed in the digestion process2.

CLINICAL ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF CANINE EN GASTROINTESTINALKey factors provided by PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS Canine EN Gastrointestinal™ in the management of enteropathies include:

A strictly limited LCFA concentration in the diet, minimising the risk of fat malassimilation.

The low long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) concentration also makes Canine EN Gastrointestinal excellent for management of EPI and hepatic diseases associated with reduced bile acid production.

Addition of moderate levels of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) which require only two steps for digestion.

All components of Canine EN Gastrointestinal are highly digestible and the overall product has a high palatability - essential for managing small intestinal disease.

Added long-chain omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce undesirable inflammatory responses.

MCFAs can be efficiently utilised even when hepatic, pancreatic or intestinal function is compromised. This not only provides a readily absorbed source of fats, but also avoids an over-reliance on increased carbohydrates in the diet.

CLINICAL ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF CANINE FORTIFLORA IN DOGS

PURINA® PRO PLAN® FortiFlora Canine contains a strain of E. faecium (SF68) (4b1705) - a lactic acid bacterium that is recognised as a safe, “friendly” bacteria and valuable probiotic. A unique and proprietary microencapsulation technique ensures that the bacteria in Canine FortiFlora remain viable and that the product can be used with confidence in its efficacy. In dogs, Nestlé PURINA studies have confirmed that feeding SF68:

■ Can increase levels of the beneficial bacteria bifidobacteria1 and lactobacilli in dogs1,2.

■ Can decrease levels of the potentially harmful bacteria Clostridium perfringens in dogs2,3.

■ Can increase IgA in dogs2,4 and cats5. IgA is produced and secreted in the intestine; therefore, increased IgA is a sign of a healthy, balanced intestine. Ingestion of SF68 has been proven to promote healthy immune function in dogs. IgA levels were increased and vaccination response prolonged in growing puppies fed SF68 from weaning to one year of age4.

■ Can increase IgA in neonatal puppies2 and in adult dogs6.

In clinical trials, SF68 has been shown to significantly improve faecal quality in puppies and stabilise intestinal flora by maintaining a higher diversity of the gut bacterial population.

Nestlé PURINA studies also show SF68 can enhance faecal IgA production in puppies and elderly dogs and even enhance systemic immune responses of puppies to vaccination6.

Based on these and other studies, Canine FortiFlora can be recommended for dogs to support the nutritional management of:

■ Gastrointestinal disturbance and loose stools associated with microflora imbalance. ■ Loose stools associated with stress, antibiotic use or diet change. ■ Poor faecal quality in dogs of all stages.

Canine FortiFlora may also have a role to help stabilise and restore the intestinal flora after a disturbance.

The diagnosis of cutaneous adverse food reactions (CAFRs) in dogs relies on the performance of dietary restriction-provocation trials. Knowing the most common offending allergens in these species would help determine which food challenges should be performed first to faster confirm the diagnosis of CAFR1. As published by Olivry & Mueller (2017) the prevalence of CAFR in dogs is around 1 to 2% and among those with skin diseases, it ranged between 0 and 24%. The range of CAFR prevalence was similar in dogs with pruritus (9 to 40%), those with any type of allergic skin disease (8 to 62%) and in dogs diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (9 to 50%)2.

Food allergy (food hypersensitivity) is widely recognised in dogs, and results in clinical signs affecting the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or both. Food allergy is reported to be responsible for to up to 20-25% of cases of non-seasonal allergic dermatoses, and for many cases of gastroenteritis.

Food allergens are almost exclusively proteins or glycoproteins and in dogs the most commonly reported allergens are: beef, dairy products, chicken, and wheat1. The size and structure of the protein helps determine its ability to induce hypersensitivity:

■ Most allergens have a molecular weight above 20000 Daltons - large enough to have sufficient complexity to interact with antibodies or T-cell receptors.

■ Proteins also have to be small enough to pass through the mucosal barrier and are usually less than 70 000-80 000 Daltons.

Excessive hydrolysis of proteins in hypoallergenic diets is not necessary as it might contribute to the osmotic diarrhoea risk. The best approach to the diagnosis of canine food allergy is to use a food where the potential allergens have been broken down and denatured to render them harmless and non-immunologically reactive by hydrolysis. A good hydrolysed protein diet is the most reliable way of diagnosing food allergy, and it is essential for an effective food trial that the diet used is fed exclusively.

CLINICAL ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF CANINE HA HYPOALLERGENICPURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS HA Hypoallergenic™ provides:■ A single protein source hydrolysed to low molecular

weights –hydrolysing proteins to less than 18000 Daltons helps render them immunologically inert, and alters their structure to further reduce antigenicity.

■ An exceptional digestibility of all ingredients to reduce the antigenic load and help manage any GI signs.

■ Purified starch source and sucrose, from which virtually all intact protein has been removed. This dramatically reduces the risk of allergic responses.

■ Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids to help reduce inflammatory responses. These are incorporated into cell membranes in place of a proportion of arachidonic acid, Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids subsequently compete with arachidonic acid as a substrate for eicosanoid production and thereby maximise the natural anti-inflammatory process.

Because the liver is central to the digestion, absorption, metabolism and storage of many nutrients, nutritional support is fundamental in the management of dogs with hepatic disease. The main characteristics that the diet should have for helping in the management of hepatic disease are:

VetCenter.com

Hepatic disease in dogs®

®

Chronic liver disease cause malnutrition due to impaired nutrient intake associated with anorexia and nausea, and due to maldigestion and malassimilation of food often associated with hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension1. Malnutrition has been proven to have a significant negative impact on the outcome of hepatic patients2 and preventing malnutrition and maintaining optimal body weight should be major nutritional goals of a hepatic diet. This is achieved by provision of a highly palatable high energy diet. Adding medium-chain fatty acids, a form of fat which does not require bile salts or a fully functioning liver for its digestion and absorption is a good way of providing energy to dogs with hepatic disease.

HIGHLY PALATABLE HIGH ENERGY DIET

A fourth goal when nutritionally managing canine hepatic disease should be to facilitate hepatic cellular regeneration by providing nutrients which are hepatoprotective (e.g. zinc6), ameliorate inflammation (e.g. long-chain omega-3 fatty acids7) and help reduce oxidative damage6 (e.g. antioxidants such as vitamins C and E).

FACILITATE HEPATIC CELLULAR REGENERATION

Reduced liver function can also lead to a decline in stored hepatic glycogen and lipids, necessitating the catabolism of muscle protein in order to meet ongoing energy needs. Given that approximately 50% of body ammonia is temporarily stored in muscle and muscle is the primary site of ammonia detoxification outside the liver, muscle wasting can potentiate hyperammonaemia and hepatic encephalopathy3. Therefore another important goal of nutritional management of liver disease should be to provide adequate protein to preserve muscle mass while not exceeding the liver’s capacity to prevent the accumulation of toxic metabolites and consequent hepatic encephalopathy. The protein source is also important. Dogs with portosystemic shunts may have longer survival and fewer clinical signs if fed vegetable or dairy based proteins4. Feeding dogs with PSS a soya- based diet has been shown to reduce fasting ammonia concentrations5.

PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTEIN TO PRESERVE MUSCLE MASS

The second goal in nutritionally managing canine liver disease should be to reduce copper accumulation in relevant cases. Diets low in copper are recom-mended for dog breeds known to be prone to hepatic copper accumulation (espe-cially Bedlington terriers) and for dogs diagnosed with abnormal hepatic copper storage.

FEEDING GUIDELINES

PURINA® PRO PLAN® JM Joint Mobility™ provides complete and balanced nutrition for all dog’s life stage and weight. The recommended period of use is initially up to 3 months. For weight loss the indicated amounts should be given to initiate the weight loss program.

Canine JMJOINT MOBILITY

Early dietary intervention is an important part of the recommended management of dogs with suboptimal mobility. Dietary interventions have been proven to improve radiographic signs of osteoarthritis and gait1,3-9.

Although classified as "non-inflammatory", osteoarthritis can have a significant inflammatory component contributing to clinical signs and disease progression. Modifying this inflammation may have benefits in reducing cartilage degradation:

The omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid is the major substrate for the production of inflammatory eicosanoids under the influence of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.

Providing enhanced levels of omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) provides an alternative substrate for the action of the COX enzymes and results in production of less inflammatory or anti-inflammatory eicosanoids.

This in turn may both reduce joint inflammation, and reduce cartilage degradation.

CLINICAL ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF CANINE JM JOINT MOBILITYPURINA® PRO PLAN® JM Joint Mobility™ provides:■ DHA and EPA, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids which

improve biomarkers of Canine OA1, and significantly improve objective force plate gait analysis in dogs with osteoarthritis within 10 days.

■ Feeding guidelines for weight maintenance to help reduce stress on the joints. Weight control is vitally important and has been proven to improve the gait in dogs with OA3 as well as help reduce and delay radiographic evidence of OA in predisposed breeds4-9.

■ Glucosamine, chondroitin and antioxidants, which may play a useful role in maintaining joint health8.

Canine JM Joint Mobility is clinica-lly proven to improve dog’s mobi-lity and quality of life9:■ Significantly improved visible

gait assessed by both owner (90% noticed an improve-ment) and veterinarian (87% noticed an improvement in dog’s quality of life).

Dogs fed in order to stay in ideal body condition Control dogsA 14-year Nestlé PURINA study has shown that dogs fed to retain a lean body condition show reduced prevalence and severity of osteoarthritis.

Canine NC NEUROCARE

Glucose is the main obligatory energy substrate for the adult canine brain and is also very important for brain development1.

In some special circumstances, canine brain metabolism changes, leading to reduced efficiency in utilisation of glucose as an energy source. In these situations, it is beneficial for their brain to be provided with alternative energy sources, for example in the form of fatty acids2. Fat is the most concentrated energy source available; however, the brain is limited in its ability to use long chain triglycerides (LCTs) as an energy source. Dietary medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) from medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) can be readily oxidised to serve as an alternate energy source (ketone bodies) for the brain (Figure 1). MCTs are more efficiently digested and absorbed by the GI tract than LCTs, and the resulting MCFAs are more efficiently transported to the liver via the portal vein where they are converted to ketone bodies (Figure 2). Consequently diets rich in MCTs are considered more ketogenic than LCT-rich diets2,3.

Figure 2. Conversion of MCTs to ketone bodies.

MCTs are not the only way that nutrition can support brain health. Other nutrients which support brain health in dogs include:

■ Added arginine, supports healthy circula-tion, blood pressure and brain function.

■ Added EPA and DHA help reduce inflam-mation and support brain structure and function.

■ Added antioxidants (Vitamins C and Sele-nium) to help reduce oxidative stress.

■ Added Vitamins B help with energy metabolism and DNA maintenance.

The key therapeutic points in renal disease can be remembered by the acronym: NEPHRONS.

As you can denote, dietary modification (Nutrition) is an important component of treating patients with CKD. It is more than protein restriction. Diets formulated for use in patients with CKD are calorically dense, phosphorous and sodium restricted, have increased potassium and B vitamins, contain omega 3 fatty acids, contain soluble fiber, and are alkalinizing1.

The main goal of nutritional support of a patient with CRF is maintenance of lean muscle mass and optimal body condition1.

Appart from these prioritary goals, we also aim to achieve these 2 objectives when feeding a dog with CRF:

N NutritionE ElectrolytesP pH of blood (acid-base status); proteinuriaH HydrationR Retention of wastesO Other renal insults – avoidN Neuroendocrine function – hyperparathyroidism, hypoproliferative

anemia, and hypertensionS Serial monitoring – CKD is irreversible and progressive

■ Phosphorus excretion is reduced in CRF, causing hyperparathyroidism and hyper-phosphataemia. This contributes to the progression of disease. Dietary restriction of phosphorus is vital in preserving renal structure and function and slowing the progression of renal damage2,3.

■ The survival of dogs with CRF is significantly enhanced by restricted phosphorus diets, and IRIS recommend phosphate restriction starting at Stage 2 disease, with different realistic target serum concentrations2,3.

■ There is evidence in dogs that supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce glomerular hypertension, increase renal blood flow and minimise renal inflammation thereby slowing progression of the disease4.

■ Oxidative stress may be harmful in CRF, may contribute to the progression of canine CRF, and that this effect can may be ameliorated by antioxidant supplementation, thus again helping to preserve renal function5.

■ The declining GFR in dogs with CRF leads to an accumulation of a wide variety of waste products that contribute to uraemic signs.

■ While protein restriction has no proven effect on progression of CRF, moderate reduction of non-essential amino acids will result in decreased production of uraemic toxins.

■ Protein levels must be adequate to supply the needs of the CRF patient to avoid catabolism of body proteins and an increased morbidity.

■ Addressing the acid:base balance is important as metabolic acidosis is common in CRF and can contribute to signs such as anorexia, lethargy, vomiting, weakness, and weight loss.

■ Sodium retention and extracellular volume expansion may occur with advanced CRF and may contribute to development of systemic hypertension. Mild sodium restriction may help reduce this risk.

■ Increased losses of B vitamins may occur with the diuresis associated with CRF, which may also contribute to clinical disease.

Canine OMOBESITY MANAGEMENT

NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT OF OBESITY IN DOGSCurrent estimates of obesity in dogs suggest a prevalence of around 20-40% in various countries1. While some diseases (such as hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism) predispose to obesity, in most cases the underlying cause is a mismatch between energy intake and energy expenditure. A wide variety of diseases are associated with obesity in dogs1,2. Nestlé PURINA completed a lifelong study of dogs that provided crucial information showing excess bodyweight is detrimental to their longevity as well – in that study even moderately overweight dogs were at greater risk for earlier morbidity and a shortened lifespan3.

The management of obesity in dogs usually combines a weight loss diet with increasing the daily exercise routine, and perhaps feeding two meals per day with a reduced number of treats, may be the most effective means of managing obesity. A recent study resports that dietary caloric restriction is more effective than physical activity, placing the dietary management in the top 1 tool to helping in the obesity management4.

FEEDING GUIDELINES

Increased water consumption can help dilute the urine and further decrease the risk of crystal formation. For dissolution of struvite stones, an initial feeding period of 5-12 weeks is recommended. For long-term use, an initial feeding period of up to 6 months is recommended, but the dog should be re-evaluated regularly as indicated by the underlying condition.

Canine URURINARY

The most common canine uroliths are composed of magnesium ammo-nium phosphate (struvite) or calcium oxalate1. The relative proportion of these two types of urolith have varied between different countries and over time but they account for more than 80% of all canine uroliths2.

The aetiopathogenesis of urolithiasis remains incompletely understood – for uroliths to form and grow, the urine must be supersaturated with the rel-evant crystalloid materials. However, the fact that urine is commonly super-saturated in animals that never form uroliths illustrates that other factors are also important.

More than 70% of dogs with struvite uroliths have an associated urease-producing bacterial urinary tract infections (UTI). Eradication of the UTI is essential for adequate control of the disease.

CLINICAL ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF CANINE UR URINARYWhere a UTI is present, dietary therapy should always be combined with appropriate antibiotic therapy. The diet is specifically formulated to provide:

Urine with a target pH of 6.0 – this will help prevent the formation of new struvite crystals and uroliths, and help dissolve existing uroliths and crystals.

Undersaturation of phosphate and magnesium – by carefully controlling the content of the diet, Canine UR is designed to also undersaturate the urine for these two constituents.

Undersaturation of ammonium – by using a low quantity of high quality protein, there is reduced production of urea, the substrate for bacterial NH3 production in the urine.

The importance of adequate nutrition in hospitalized patients is increasingly being recognized1,2,3. Hypermetabolism and reduced appetite, often found in ill animals, predispose these patients to undernutrition4.

Nutritional support in hospitalized patients is key to providing the required energy and nutrients, avoiding metabolic disorders and protein catabolism; and maintaining normal organ functions4.

The consequent protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) can result in some adverse consequences including:

■ Impaired immune responses ■ Delayed healing ■ Hypoproteinaemia ■ Muscle weakness ■ Anaemia ■ Increased morbidity and mortality

Early patient identification for nutritional support minimises PEM consequences. The following are generally recommended as indicators of patients that require support5,6:

■ Anorexia for 3 days (cats have very limited glycogen stores and are unable to down-regulate activity of hepatic transaminases that catabolise protein).

■ Recent unintentional loss of >10% body weight. ■ Inadequate/poor lean body weight. ■ Serious underlying disease (e.g. severe trauma, peritonitis, pancreatitis, major surgery). ■ Direct protein loss (e.g. protein losing enteropathies, draining wounds). ■ Poor wound healing, hypoalbuminaemia and lymphopenia.

CLINICAL ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF FELINE DM St/Ox DIABETES MANAGEMENTPURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS DM St/Ox Diabetes Management™ is an ultra-low carbohy-drate diet providing proven high efficacy in the nutritional support of cats with diabetes mellitus with the ability to improve glucoregulation, and induce remission of diabetes in a proportion of cats.

Since the feline metabolism is designed to derive most of their glucose needs from protein rather than carbohydrate, and because restriction of dietary carbohydrates can control blood glucose and insulin concentrations, this has been used to provide very significant control of feline diabetes. Studies have clearly shown that the very low carbohydrate, and relatively high protein and fat content of Feline DM St/Ox Diabetes Management can lead to:

THE ROLE OF DIET IN FELINE GI DISEASEClinical studies have suggested that 35-50% or more of cases of chronic diarrhoea in cats may be diet-responsive1,2.

Management with an appropriate dietary change has huge potential for clinical benefits.

■ Provide highly digestible nutrients with a low residue, to minimise complications associated with undigested food (e.g. osmotic diarrhoea, altered microflora).

■ Further promote a healthy intestinal microflora by providing specific substrates to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.

■ Prevent or limit exposure to dietary antigens and prevent or minimise adverse immunological reactions.

■ Limit exposure to ingredients that cause dietary sensitivity or intolerance (non-immunologically mediated adverse reactions).

■ Provide an appropriate level of fibre to help maintain normal GI motility. ■ Provide nutritional support for the GI mucosa. ■ Meet the specific nutritional requirements of cats; and address the demands of GI disease, such

as electrolyte loss, GI inflammation and weight loss caused by malassimilation.

IMPACT OF FAT LEVEL IN A DIET DESIGNED TO MANAGE FELINE GI DISEASEA highly digestible diet with moderately high fat levels presents numerous clinical advantages3,4:

■ It is better adapted to the unique feline digestive physiology. ■ It better meets the nutritional needs of a cat with debilitating GI disease.

Although pancreatitis is increasingly recognised as a clinical entity in cats, the optimal diet to manage this disease in cats is unknown. Clinical improvement has been documented with or without fat restriction, and low fat diets may have no specific benefits in cats.

CLINICAL ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF FELINE FORTIFLORA IN CATS

PURINA® PRO PLAN® FortiFlora Feline contains a strain of E. faecium (SF68) (4b1705) – a lactic acid bacterium that is recognised as a safe, ‘friendly’ bacteria, and valuable probiotic. A unique and proprietary microencapsulation technique ensures the bacteria in Feline FortiFlora remain viable, and that the product can be used with confidence in its efficacy. In cats, studies have confirmed that feeding SF68:

■ Can increase levels of bifidobacteria in cats1. ■ Can decrease levels of Clostridium perfringens1 and decreased the number

of cats testing positive for Clostridium perfringens2. ■ Can improve fecal consistency in cats with chronic, intractable diarrhea3. ■ Can prevent naturally occurring diarrhea in kittens4. ■ Can increase IgA in dogs5 cats3 – sign of a healthy, balanced intestine.

In clinical trials, SF68 has been shown to significantly improve faecal quality in cats with chro-nic non-specific diarrhoea and prevent and/or reduce the severity of diarrhoea in kittens.

Based on these studies, can be recommended for cats to support the nutritional management of: ■ Gastrointestinal disturbance and loose stools associated with microflora imbalance. ■ Loose stools associated with stress, antibiotic use or diet change. ■ Poor faecal quality in cats of all stages (kitten, adult and senior).

Feline FortiFlora may also have a role to play in other conditions to help stabilise and restore the intestinal flora after a disturbance:

■ Chronic enteropathies, for example, inflammatory bowel disease. ■ Promoting optimal immune responses in health and disease.

The diagnosis of cutaneous adverse food reactions (CAFRs) in cats relies on the performance of dietary restriction-provocation trials. Knowing the most common offending allergens in these species, would help to determine which food challenges should be performed first in order to confirm the diagnosis of CAFR1. In cats, the prevalence of CAFR was less than 1% (0.2%), while it was fairly homogeneous in cats with skin diseases (range: 3 to 6%), but higher in cats with pruritus (12 to 21%) than in cats with allergic skin disease (5 to 13%)2.

Food allergy (dietary hypersensitivity) is an important cause of dermatological and gastrointestinal disease in cats3. Up to 30-50% of cats with chronic non-specific diarrhoea may also have either food allergy or food sensitivity1,2. Unfortunately, differentiating a true allergic response (dermatological or GI) from an intolerance or sensitivity (i.e. non-immuno-logically mediated reaction) can be difficult.

Food allergy is caused by a reaction to proteins or gly-coproteins in the food, and in cats the most commonly reported allergens are: beef, fish and chicken1. Cats with food allergy may also have other concurrent hyper-sensitivities such as flea allergic dermatitis and atopy. Reducing or eliminating the food allergy component can help to reduce the ‘allergic threshold’ and help manage the other conditions too.

DIAGNOSIS OF FOOD ALLERGYThe diagnosis of food allergy relies on a food elimination trial, ideally followed by recurring signs on re-introduction of the original diet. Data suggests that the majority of proteins inducing an allergic response are in the region of 20-80 kDa in size4,5. Hydrolysis of proteins to smaller, low molecular weight fractions is a potent means of reducing the antigenicity of a diet. Importantly, hydrolysis also reduces the antigenicity through altering protein structures3. The average MW of soy hydrolysate in Feline HA St/Ox is 9.6 kDa.

THE ROLE OF DIET IN FELINE HEPATIC DISEASEBecause the liver is central to the digestion, absorption, metabolism and storage of many nutrients, nutritional support is fundamental in the management of cats with hepatic disease.

A third goal when nutritionally managing feline hepatic disease should be to facilitate hepatic cellular regeneration by providing nutrients which are hepatoprotective (e.g. zinc4), ameliorate inflammation (e.g. long chain omega-3 fatty acids5) and help reduce oxidative damage6 (e.g. antioxidants such as vitamins C and E).

FACILITATE HEPATIC CELLULAR REGENERATION

VetCenter.com

Hepatic disease in cats®

®

Chronic liver disease cause malnutrition due to impaired nutrient intake associated with anorexia and nausea, and due to maldigestion and malassimilation of food often associated with hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension1. Malnutrition has been proven to have a significant negative impact on the outcome of hepatic patients2 and preventing malnutrition and maintaining optimal body weight should be major nutritional goals of a hepatic diet. This is achieved by provision of a highly palatable high energy diet.

PROVISION OF A HIGHLY PALATABLE HIGH ENERGY DIET

Reduced liver function can also lead to a decline in stored hepatic glycogen and lipids- necessitating the catabolism of muscle protein in order to meet ongoing energy needs. Given that approximately 50% of body ammonia is temporarily stored in muscle, and muscle is the primary site of ammonia detoxification outside the liver, muscle wasting can potentiate hyperammonaemia and hepatic encephalopathy3. Therefore another important goal of nutritional management of liver disease should be to provide adequate protein to preserve muscle mass while not exceeding the liver’s capacity to prevent the accumulation of toxic metabolites and consequent hepatic encephalopathy.

CRF is considered an irreversible condition, but with an appropriate dietary intervention we can help to: (1) to ameliorate or prevent clinical consequences of CKD and uremia; (2) to slow progression of CKD and/or prolong survival; (3) to minimize derangements of electrolyte, mineral, and acid-base balance; and (4) to maintain adequate nutrition1.

THE ROLE OF NUTRITION IN CRF Dietary intervention could represent for most cats with CRF this represents the single most important therapeutic intervention2-4.

As well as improving the quality of life for the cat, clinical studies have consistently shown that well-designed dietary intervention for cats with CRF has the power to dramatically prolong survival and reduce adverse uraemic events1.

Nutrition in cats with CRF can impact in numerous important ways5. The current standard of care is to feed patients with CKD protein restricted diets that are further modified to be restricted in phosphorus and sodium, and supplemented with potassium, B vitamins, antioxidants, and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids5.

Feline OM St/OxOBESITY MANAGEMENT

®

®

Obesity and excess body weight has become a major problem in cats in many regions of the world, just as it is amongst human beings. Studies suggest that up to 20-40% of cats may be overweight, with up to 5-10% being classified as obese1.

Numerous diseases have been linked with excess body weight in cats2.

THE ROLE OF NUTRITION IN SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS The goal is to encourage gradual weight loss, aiming for a reduction of approximately 1% body weight per week. This weight loss rate is more physiological, more likely to result in long-term suc-cess and reduces or avoids complications such as hepatic lipidosis associated with rapid weight loss. Appropriate dietary management should include consideration of:

■ Maintenance of lean body weight and loss of excess fat. ■ Using a diet with increased nutrient: calorie ratio to ensure proper nutrition in the face of reduced

calorie intake. ■ Appropriate overall caloric restriction. ■ Enhanced satiety if possible to discourage excess consumption. ■ Excellent palatability to encourage owner compliance and maintain the important part of the

human-animal bond associated with feeding.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF URINARY STONES1. Surgical removal or dietary dissolution of the stones with PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY

DIETS UR St/Ox Urinary™*.

2. Quantitative analysis of the stones to determine future management.

3. Eliminate and manage the recurrence of urinary tract infections or other underlying conditions that may contribute to stone formation.

4. Encourage water consumption. This increases urine output and lowers the urinary concentration of mineral components.

GUIDELINES FOR REDUCING THE RISK OF URINARY STONE RECURRENCEUrinary stones form as a result of varying combinations of underlying risk factors, many of which are uncontrollable inherent metabolic or genetic factors. Surgical removal of stones does not eliminate the underlying metabolic risk factors. Therefore, it is important to attempt to control as many external risk factors as possible. For cats with urolithiasis, the right nutrition can promote a specific targeted pH (between 6 and 6.3) to help dissolve struvite stones and crystals and can also prevent the formation of calcium oxalate.

STRUVITE STONES (MAGNESIUM AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE) IN CATS1. Feed a mildly acidifying diet formulated to produce a relative supersaturation (RSS) below 1

(such as Feline UR St/Ox Urinary) to enable the dissolution of the struvite.

2. Culture the urine and administer appropriate antibiotic therapy if indicated. Most cases of struvite stones in cats are not associated with primary infection, but may result in a secondary infection.

3. Increase water consumption. Feline UR St/Ox Urinary promotes increased water intake and increased urine volume.

CALCIUM OXALATE STONES IN CATS1. Increase water consumption. Feline UR St/Ox Urinary promotes increased water intake and

increased urine volume.

2. Avoid over-restriction of dietary magnesium. Magnesium is a natural inhibitor of calcium oxalate stones.

3. Feed a diet, such as Feline UR St/Ox Urinary, that results in urine that is at least metastable for calcium oxalate (assessed by RSS).

4. If hypercalcemia is present, identify and eliminate the cause.

URATE STONES IN CATS1. Rule out or correct portosystemic shunt if present.

2. Feed a low purine diet (such as Feline NF St/Ox canned).

Dietary management of feline urinary stones

* Struvite stones.

The two most common causes of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) are idiopathic cystitis and urolithiasis, together accounting for up to 80-90% of cases1. Overall recurrence rates of up to 40-45% have been reported1.

APPROXIMATE FREQUENCY OF CAUSES OF FLUTD2,3

Idiopathic cystitis~ 55-70%Urolithiasis~ 15-30%Other~ 5-15%

FELINE IDIOPATHIC CYSTITIS By definition, the cause of idiopathic cystitis in cats remains obscure, although both stress and abnormalities of the urothelial barrier have been reported. At present, the recommended approach to managing cats with recurrent idiopathic cystitis is1:

■ Environmental enrichment ■ Reduction of stress ■ Encouraging water intake ■ Additional medical therapy in refractory cases (which may include analgesics and amitriptyline)

FELINE UROLITHIASISFundamental to urolith development is supersaturation of the urine with the calculogenic crystalloids – without this crystal and urolith formation will not occur.

Other factors that may play a role include genetics, age, concurrent diseases, gender, and urine composition of various promoters and inhibitors of crystal formation.

Calculogenic crystalloids may be present in urine in one of three concentration ranges: ■ Supersaturation: if the crystalloid concentration falls in this zone, spontaneous crystal

formation and growth may occur. ■ Metastable saturation: concentrations in this zone will not permit spontaneous crystallisa-

tion, although growth of pre-formed crystals is possible. ■ Undersaturation: in this zone the urine is undersaturated and crystal dissolution will occur.

There are two types of urolith: struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) and calcium oxalate, which account for 80% or more of all feline uroliths. Today, the prevalence of struvite and oxalate uroliths are similar. While the development of struvite uroliths is sensitive to urine pH (the crystalloids being much less soluble in alkaline urine), the development of oxalate crystals is much less influenced by urine pH.

CLINICAL ADVANTAGES WITH THE USE OF FELINE UR St/Ox URINARY PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS UR St/Ox Urinary™ has been specifically designed to benefit cats with FLUTD – promoting a higher volume and lower concentration of urine, urine with a low RSS for both struvite and oxalate.

A recently published study2 reported the the efficacy of feeding PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS UR St/Ox Urinary™ for the dissolution of struvite uroliths in cats with naturally occurring disease. The results of the study suggest that feeding PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS UR St/Ox Urinary™ can successfully dissolve cystoliths that are likely struvite and may lessen the risk of recurrence of struvite and calcium oxalate uroliths.

STRUVITE AND OXALATE UROLITHIASIS PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS UR St/Ox Urinary™ contains reduced fat and optimum protein levels to help prevent obesity, a known risk factor for urolithiasis. Tested with RSS Feline UR St/Ox Urinary promotes a urine:

■ undersaturated for struvite, producing an environment where struvite crystals and stones can dissolve, and where their formation is prevented,

■ in the low metastable range for calcium oxalate – an environment that should prevent de novo crystallisation and greatly reduce the risk of any crystal/stone growth,

■ in a controlled pH range (6.0-6.3), ideal for managing struvite crystalluria and not detrimental to oxalate.

IDIOPATHIC CYSTITIS Feline UR St/Ox Urinary provides:

■ a moderate and proven safe salt content (1.2% as fed) in the dry formulation to encourage an increased urine volume,

■ increased urine volume and decreased urine specific gravity (SG), to promote more frequent urination and a lower concentration of substances that may irritate the urothelium,

■ added omega-3 fatty acids and natural GAGs, that may help to reduce bladder inflammation and support the integrity of the bladder lining.

The immune system is vital in keeping pets healthy, which is why PURINA® PRO PLAN® has developed the EXPERT CARE NUTRITION range with ACTI-PROTECT™ which contains bovine colostrum.

Why is colostrum a unique ingredient in pet food? ■ Scientific research has found colostrum can contain oligosaccharides that may have

prebiotic effects1. ■ Scientific research has found colostrum can contain growth factors that may regulate

inflammation and aid repair2. ■ Scientific research has found colostrum contains lactoferrin, which studies have shown

to support the gut microbiota and immune system3.

Our scientific research in cats and dogs proved that colostrum could: ■ Support robust local and systemic immune responses: A colostrum enriched diet

increased local IgA production from the GALT, and improved vaccination responses1,4. ■ Enhance intestinal microbiota diversity and stability: A colostrum enriched diet

supported a stable gut microbiota during periods of every day stress.

ACTI-PROTECTTM STIMULATES PRODUCTION OF ANTIBODIES

1 Antibodies and bioactive compounds from colostrum are released in the intestine

2 Immune cell stimulation in the GALT leads to proliferation of plasma cells

3 In the lamina propria, plasma cells produce polymeric IgA that is exported as Secretory IgA into the intestinal lumen

4 Activation of the GALT may lead to stimulation of the systemic immune system. Scientific research has found a stronger response of the systemic immune system to vaccines following supplementation with colostrum4,6

5 Secretory IgA attaches to antigens on the surface of pathogens to prevent them from adhering to the intestinal wall. It also binds to antigenic proteins, limiting their inflammatory effect5

DOG STUDY4

Method ■ 24 adult dogs. ■ During an 8 week long pre-test phase, all dogs were fed the same control diet. ■ At the end of the pre-test phase all dogs were given a canine distemper virus (CDV)

vaccine. ■ A 40 week test phase followed where all dogs continued on the same control diet,

but half were supplemented with bovine colostrum ■ Blood and faecal samples were collected every 4 weeks.

ResultsDogs supplemented with colostrum showed:

■ Increased intestinal microflora diversity. ■ Increased microflora stability following stress (Figure 1). ■ Increased SIgA (secretory IgA) in faeces. ■ Greater and longer lasting antibody levels following the CDV vaccine (Figure 2). ■ No increase in levels of inflammatory C-reactive protein despite the enhanced immunity

to the CDV vaccine proving there was no over-stimulation of the immune system.

CAT STUDY6

Method ■ 24 kittens at 12 weeks of age. ■ During the 44 week study, all kittens were fed the same control diet but half were

supplemented with colostrum. ■ All kittens received a feline rabies vaccine at week 0 and a booster vaccination

at week 38.

ResultsCats supplemented with colostrum showed

■ Greater and faster antibody level in response to vaccination (Figure 3). ■ Increased faecal IgA levels (Figure 4). ■ Increased microflora stability after a stressful situation. ■ No increase in levels of inflammatory Serum Amyloid A (SAA) protein despite

the stronger immune response to the feline rabies vaccine.

Higher faecal IgA levels demonstrated in group supplemented

with colostrum compared to control group

OPTISTART™: PROVEN AND INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO IMMUNE SUPPORT IN PUPPIESPurina PRO PLAN® PUPPY products with OPTISTART™ contain colostrum. Antibodies and other bio-active molecules from colostrum (carefully kept in an active form during the production process) are scientifically proven to enhance the puppies’ immune response – both local and systemic. Colostrum also helps optimise the balance of the gut microflora – helping protect the puppies from high susceptibility to stress-induced or related diarrhoea, which is so common during puppyhood.

The benefits of colostrum are widely recognised, especially if taken within the first 24-48 hours of life. Colostrum provides antibodies, which confer passive immunity to the newborn, direct antimicrobial factors which enhance the newborn gut local defences and growth factors which help the maturation of the newborn gut and confer higher tissue growth and repair capabilities.

The passive protection transferred by the colostrum antibodies lasts only a few weeks. After this time, the puppies are vulnerable to infection until their own immune system develops.

Dietary colostrum supplementation during the immunity gap and growth in general has strong benefits. Colostrum acts according to a different mechanism than in the newborn and actively stimulates the immune defences of the puppies.

OPTIBALANCE™: SUPERIOR NUTRITIONAL PERFORMANCE TO PROMOTE DOGS’ OVERALL HEALTHPRO PLAN® Adult Maintenance Diets with OPTIBALANCE™ are specially formulated to deliver superior nutrition through higher digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients thanks to PURINA special cooking and extrusion process.

Protein is required in canine diets to provide all essential amino acids needed and nitrogen for the synthesis of non-essential amino acids and proteins, other nitrogenous compounds, and as a source of energy. An optimal level of bioavailable amino acids from high quality protein sources is essential for dogs to thrive: helping in the maintenance of lean body mass, strengthening muscles, supporting a healthy skin and coat, fortifying the immune system, and underpinning functions of all vital organs.

PURINA® PRO PLAN® DOG uses a proprietary process to include 14% fresh frozen chicken in their formulas. The use of this high quality chicken at optimal levels significantly improves the nutritional quality of the diet leading to lasting health benefits for adult dogs fed OPTIBALANCE™.

OPTIBALANCE™

When comparing dogs fed an otherwise identical diet containing either fresh frozen chicken (FFC) or poultry meal (PM) as their only source of animal protein, protein and fat digestibility were significantly better in dogs fed FFC. Protein and fat digestibility were significantly higher in the chicken diet compared to the PM diet.

In the same study the dogs fed the diet containing fresh frozen chicken had significantly higher post prandial blood lysine and arginine levels indicative of greater bioavailability of these essential amino acids in the FFC fed dogs.

HELPS INCREASE PROTEIN AND FAT DIGESTIBILITY

INCREASES THE BIOAVAILABILITY OF AMINO ACIDS

VetCenter.com

In a second study, dogs were fed a 25% protein diet containing either 0% or 14% chicken fresh frozen chicken (the balance of protein being supplied by PM). Uptake of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid was significantly higher in the 14% chicken diet due to a better fatty acid profile of this diet (higher linoleic acid content).

LARGE DOGS ROBUST AND ATHLETIC: A UNIQUE AND PATENTED APPROACH TO LARGE BREED NUTRITIONThe nutritional needs of large dogs depend on many factors including: their genetic origin, their body morphology and composition, their activity level, and their resting energy expenditure. Large dogs share common genetic origins, have comparable morphologies and similar metabolic characteristics1-3.

OPTIBALANCE™

Generally have similar chest and waist measurements, giving the body a “cylindrical” appearance. They are characterised by higher body fat mass, lower energy requirements per unit of body weight and a propensity to be less active (compared with athletic dogs).

Have a morphology defined by a deep chest and thin abdomen giving the body a “cone-shaped” appearance. They are characterised by higher lean body mass, higher energy requirements per unit of body weight and have a propensity to be more active.

OPTIDERMA™

OPTIDERMA™: CLINICALLY PROVEN TO SUPPORT HEALTHY SKIN AND BEAUTIFUL COATThe PRO PLAN® Sensitive Skin range of products for puppies, adult and senior dogs is formulated with OPTIDERMA™ which contains a specific combination of essential nutrients, clinically proven to support skin health and promote excellent coat quality in sensitive dogs.

PRO PLAN® diets for dogs with sensitive skin containing OPTIDERMA™:

Boosted levels of long chain omega-3 fatty acids help manage sensitive skin. The high tolerance formula containing salmon as the only source of animal flesh protein, limited numbers of protein sources and no wheat helps reduce possible skin reactions of sensitive dogs.

All diets in the range are formulated with the antioxidants vitamins E and C. Oxidative stress plays a role in the development of skin disease. It has been shown that increasing amounts of vitamin E in foods for dogs leads to increases in serum and cutaneous concentrations of vitamin E which are likely to benefit skin and coat health of dogs as well as supporting the immune system1.

HELP REDUCE THE SKIN REACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH FOOD SENSITIVITY

CONTAIN A PATENTED BLEND1 OF SKIN-SPECIFIC NUTRIENTS CLINICALLY PROVEN TO SUPPORT SKIN HEALTH AND PROMOTE COAT QUALITY

A PURINA study demonstrated the benefits to skin and coat health of feeding a diet containing the OPTIDERMA™ blend of nutrients to dogs.

OPTIDERMA™ INCLUDES A SPECIAL COMBINATION OF SKIN-TARGETING NUTRIENTS CLINICALLY PROVEN TO SUPPORT HEALTHY SKIN AND BEAUTIFUL COATIn a study done by Purina’s scientists, dogs fed a diet containing the OPTIDERMA™ blend of increased linoleic acid, zinc and Vitamins A, B and E had their skin and coat evaluated over a 5 month period both subjectively by 30 panellist judges and objectively using sensory analysis and biophysical and dermatological evaluations. Panellists scored the dogs’ skin and coat on many parameters including odour, coat shininess and softness, shedding and presence or absence of dandruff. Skin biophysical parameters investigated included transepidermal water loss, skin pH and corneometry (skin hydration status). In addition, general health and blood and faecal parameters were regularly checked.

Results showed that dogs fed the OPTIDERMA™ blend had significantly improved skin and coat condition- increased coat shininess and softness, improved skin hydration score and elasticity, reduced transepidermal water loss, increased blood, skin and sebum linoleic acid content and reduced inflammation. This blend is incorporated in all PRO PLAN® diets for dogs with sensitive skin1.

Highly digestible protein and CHO

OPTIDIGEST™

OPTIDIGEST™: PROVEN TO ENHANCE DIGESTIVE HEALTH AND PROMOTE GOOD FAECAL CONSISTENCYSome dogs have a sensitive digestion without any specific identifiable cause. Delicate digestion results in frequent digestive upsets, poorly formed stools and a high sensitivity to a change in diet. PRO PLAN® has developed a range of Sensitive Digestion products for puppies and adult dogs all of which contain OPTIDIGEST™, clinically proven to improve gut microflora balance due to the inclusion of the prebiotic beet pulp. These products all help enhance digestive health, and promote the production of firmer stools.

OPTIDIGEST™ contains highly digestible ingredients to ease digestion and reduce intestinal workload in sensitive dogs; prebiotics clinically proven to improve microfloral balance and clays such as bentonite to improve faecal consistency.

HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE FORMULAAll the PRO PLAN® Sensitive Digestion with OPTIDIGEST™ products are made with top quality highly digestible ingredients to facilitate dogs’ digestive processes and promote excellent faecal quality. The high digestibility also encourages high levels of nutrient absorption and helps minimise dietary load on the sensitive gut. All products in the PRO PLAN® Sensitive Digestion range are formulated with highly digestible protein sources such as chicken and egg and highly digestible carbohydrate sources such as rice and corn.

VetCenter.com

Helps improvefaecal quality

Binds extra water, toxinsand harmful bacteriaBentonite

BENTONITE TO IMPROVE FAECAL CONSISTENCYBentonite is a natural clay which helps secure the production of firm stools. It binds intestinal waste products, harmful bacteria and toxins- carrying them harmlessly out in the stool and protecting the intestinal mucosa. Additionally, bentonite adsorbs excess water in the colon helping to firm up the stools.

OPTIDIGEST™

Helps maintain lean body mass during weight loss and after sterilization.

Reduces heart stress Reduces heart stress while walking and at rest, as proven by a heart rate reduction of 21% after 12 weeks of feeding together with a daily walk.

Results of a weight management programme with 15 overweight dogs of varying breeds fed PRO PLAN® ALL SIZES ADULT LIGHT/STERILISED with OPTIWEIGHT™ and given a 30 minute daily walk. Lean and fat mass were measured by DEXA (Dual-X-Ray absorptiometry) at 0 and 12 weeks1.

PROVEN EFFECTIVE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT FOR OVERWEIGHT DOGS

PRO PLAN® ALL SIZES ADULT LIGHT/STERILISED WITH OPTIWEIGHT™ IS PROVEN TO HELP DOGS EFFECTIVELY LOSE WEIGHT

■ 8% loss of bodyweight after only 6 weeks ■ 16% loss of bodyweight after just 12 weeks

This steady but healthy amount of weight loss helps reduce the risk of weight rebound.

OPTIWEIGHT™

VetCenter.com

PRO PLAN® ALL SIZES ADULT LIGHT/STERILISED WITH OPTIWEIGHT™ SUPPORTS CARDIAC FUNCTION, AIDING COMPLIANCE WITH THE WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMEIn overweight dogs, cardiac workload is higher due, in part, to the increase in circulating body fluid volume. This can be associated with reduced exercise tolerance which thereby reduces the efficacy of weight loss programmes. PRO PLAN® ALL SIZES ADULT LIGHT/STERILISED with OPTIWEIGHT™ contains cardioprotective nutrients such as taurine, L-carnitine and omega-3 long chain fatty acids, for their protective effects on the heart and blood vessels, and thus helps improve exercise tolerance.

After 12 weeks on a weight loss programme with PRO PLAN® ALL SIZES ADULT LIGHT/STERILISED with OPTIWEIGHT™, heart rate was reduced by 21% both at rest and during exercise.

Heart rates measured with ACTIHEART at 0, 6 and 12 weeks during a weight management programme on 15 overweight dogs of varying breeds fed PRO PLAN® ALL SIZES ADULT LIGHT/STERILISED with OPTIWEIGHT™ and given a 30 minute daily walk1.

PERFORMANCE NUTRITION FOR HIGHLY ACTIVE DOGSPurina PRO PLAN® ALL SIZES ADULT PERFORMANCE with OPTIPOWER™ has been specially formu-lated to provide the nutrients needed for peak performance activity. It improves:

■ Oxygen metabolism for optimised beta-oxidation of fatty acids and energy production. ■ Sparing of amino acids and carbohydrates during exercise, to allow better recovery between

bouts of exercise.

THE BENEFIT OF HIGH FAT IN THE DIET OF HIGHLY ACTIVE DOGSSuccessfully improving the endurance capabilities of dogs is based on enhancing oxidation of fat for energy and sparing the use of more limited nutrient stores. Studies undertaken by Nestlé PURINA have demonstrated:

■ A 27% increase in maximal oxygen consumption and maximal fat oxidation when the diet of trained active dogs was changed from a low to a high fat content1.

■ Dogs fed high fat diets use their glycogen stores at only half the rate of dogs fed a high carbohydrate diet, and mobilised their fat stores twice as fast2.

THE BENEFIT OF CARBOHYDRATE IN THE DIET OF HIGHLY ACTIVE DOGSAdding carbohydrates to the diet has no real impact on performance levels in these dogs, but dietary carbohydrates can help maintain the dog’s glycogen stores enabling repeated episodes of exercise and work on a long-term basis.

THE BENEFIT OF PROTEIN IN THE DIET OF HIGHLY ACTIVE DOGSStudies have shown that a diet containing a minimum of 24% of metabolisable energy from protein facilitates3:

■ Optimal maximal oxygen consumption values (VO2 max) to be maintained during training. ■ A reduction in the incidence of soft tissues injuries.

OPTIAGE™

OPTIAGE™: A BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION FOR SENIOR DOGSDogs over seven years have significant but often sub-clinical changes in brain function. Research has shown that typically, from seven years of age, canine neurones gradually lose the ability to use glucose as an energy source leading to neuronal apoptosis and ultimately brain dysfunction1.

Nestlé PURINA Research and Development teams have proven that OPTIAGE™ – a patented* blend of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) can dramatically improve cognitive function in older dogs2, restore declining brain function and slow further deterioration.

MCTs are converted into aceto-acetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate by the liver; these ketone metabolites are then effectively (and preferentially in the older dog) used by brain neurones as an alternative energy source for cellular function.

OPTIAGE™ is proven to improve cognitive function and mental alertness in senior dogs and has been included in Purina PRO PLAN® Small and Mini Adult 9+ and PRO PLAN® Medium and Large Adult 7+ products.

PRO PLAN® JUNIOR dry product contains OPTISTART® technology based on colostrum supplementation. Antibodies and other bioactive molecules from colostrum (carefully kept in an active form during the production process), are scientifically proven to enhance the kitten’s immune responses – both local and systemic.

The antibodies absorbed into the blood stream in newborn kittens only last a few weeks. After this, the kittens are vulnerable to infection until their own immune system develops – this period of time is known as the “immunity gap”.

Colostrum also helps optimise the balance of the gut microflora – this helps protect the kitten’s vulnerable intestinal tract from changes such as stress-related diarrhoea, which is so common during kittenhood.

PROVEN AND INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO IMMUNE SUPPORT IN KITTENS

OPTISTART®

OPTIRENAL®: A PROTECTIVE COMBINATION PROVEN TO SUPPORT RENAL FUNCTION AND SLOW THE AGEING PROCESSKidney disease is common in cats - indeed it is the most common clinical diagnosis in middle-aged to older cats and is present in 10 to 30% of patients presented to veterinary clinics.OPTIRENAL® is a protective combination of nutrients which help support the cat’s kidney function and help slow down the ageing process. Nestlé PURINA® has therefore added OPTIRENAL® to ADULT, STERILISED, DELICATE and HOUSECAT dry formula. OPTIRENAL® contains:

OPTIRENAL®

- Oxidative stress, antioxidants, and assessment of oxidative stress in dogs and cats, Maureen A. McMichael, JAVMA, Vol 231, No. 5, September 1, 2007.

OPTIRENAL® COMBINATION PROVEN TO HELP PROTECT CATS’ KIDNEYSIsoprostanes are precise oxidative markers, produced by the body. Isoprostane production increases in con-ditions causing oxidative stress (like kidney disease). Some isoprostanes have a directly negative effect on renal health by inducing renal vasoconstriction and increasing pre-glomerular vascular resistance thus leading to a reduction in glomerular filtration rate and renal blood flow.

In only 6 weeks, cats fed a diet containing OPTIRENAL® exhibited a significant reduction in urine isoprostanes compared to the control group, proving the protective effect of OPTIRENAL®.

Vitamins C and E and β-carotene have been shown to have protective effects on the kidney. Neutralising free radicals in the kidney reduces cellular damage associated with oxidative metabolism.

ANTIOXIDANTS

Omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) have a positive effect on kidney haemodynamics (blood flow) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and are anti-inflammatory. Studies show that:■ Healthy cats fed a diet with high omega-3 fatty acids had an increase in renal

blood flow and GFR compared to when they were fed a diet high in omega-6 fatty acids.■ High intake of EPA leads to increased renal vasodilation (mediators are increased) and reduced

inflammation (pro-inflammatory mediators are decreased).

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS

Arginine is an essential amino acid in cats. It is a precursor to nitric oxide (NO). Arginine and NO are both involved in the control of renal vascular tone, maintenance of renal blood flow and maintenance of GFR. Arginine is proven to be renoprotective in many species.

LONGEVIS®: A BREAKTHROUGH PATENTED INNOVATION FOR ADULT CATS AGED 7 YEARS AND ABOVE

PRO PLAN® ADULT 7+ (dry product) has been specially formulated with LONGEVIS®, a Nestlé PURINA® proprietary combination of antioxidants (vitamin E and beta-carotenes), prebiotic (chicory) and omega-6 and 3 fatty acids.

LONGEVIS® is proven to help delay the first signs of ageing and extend the healthy life of mature cats by one year on average when fed exclusively.

Cats fed on the diet rich in LONGEVIS® not only extended their life, but also exhibited stronger indices of health such as:

■ improved red blood cell levels and haema-tocrit,

■ enhanced vitamin E absorption and circulat-ing levels, which helps maintain the immune system function,

■ reduced thinning of the skin generally seen in older cats,

■ maintenance of a healthy body weight and body protein stores,

■ maintenance of a healthier gut flora balance.

PRO PLAN® HOUSECAT NUTRISAVOUR (wet diet) are formulated with a natural source of inulin (chicory root). This prebiotic source has been proven to significantly reduce the key components of litter box odour by 20%. The reduction in faecal odour is due to the prebiotic effect of chicory root which reduces the presence of protein degrading putrefactive bacteria in the colon. It also demonstrates a healthier gut flora environment.

BENEFITS OF MIXED FEEDING ■ When given a choice, many cats seem to prefer a mixture of both

wet and dry food ■ Wet food increases enjoyment, adds variety to the diet and

increases water intake ■ Dry food satisfies a cat’s natural desire to eat many small meals

throughout the day ■ When feeding a mixed diet, 2 to 3 small wet meals a day with dry

left down for cats to nibble on throughout the day is often a good compromise

■ A less concentrated urine helps support urinary tract health and can reduce the incidence of FLUTD2,3

■ Improved hydration helps support renal health4

■ Adequate hydration may have a significant effect on aging kidneys and may contribute to preservation of renal function as the cat ages
