Nutrient

£ The diet has high levels of water soluble vitamins in order to compensate for increased urinary losses caused by the use of diu retics in heart patients. £ SPECIFIC TM CKD-HY Heart & Kidney Support Hydrolysed contains zeolite , which can bind ammonium and thereby help reduce ure mia in dogs with renal failure and hyperammonaemia in dogs with liver failure. £ Zinc is a cofactor in the enzymatic conversion of ammonia to urea and can reduce catabolism of protein in muscles. The increased level of zinc in SPECIFIC TM CKD-HY Heart & Kidney Support Hydro lysed can contribute to the reduction of hyperammonaemia in liver patients. £ The copper content in SPECIFIC TM CKD-HY Heart & Kidney Support Hydrolysed is moderately reduced because copper excretion may be compromised in patients with liver diseases. £ The exceptional palatability of SPECIFIC TM CKD-HY Heart & Kidney Support Hydrolysed maximises the chance of the nutritional require ments being met, even if the patient has a poor appetite. £ SPECIFIC TM CKD-HY Heart & Kidney Support Hydrolysed is specially packed under a protected atmosphere to protect the uniquely high level of EPA and DHA in the product.
