SPECIFIC TM FID DIGESTIVE SUPPORT

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION • The low fibre content in SPECIFIC TM FID Digestive Support en sures a high digestibility and optimal nutrient absorption. • Yucca extract reduces the production of malodorous gasses and the smell of faeces. • SPECIFIC TM FID Digestive Support contains zeolite , which can ab sorb toxic components in the gastrointestinal tract. • SPECIFIC TM FID Digestive Support contains fermentable fibres (beet pulp, XOS and FOS) to promote the growth of beneficial colonic bacteria for support of a healthy gastrointestinal tract. • SPECIFIC TM FID Digestive Support is a complete, balanced diet , which meets the nutrient requirements of growing and adult cats. The diet is therefore also suitable for kittens. • SPECIFIC TM FID Digestive Support induces a urine pH below 6.4 to support a healthy urinary tract. • For patients with gastrointestinal problems, it is advised to divide the daily ration of SPECIFIC TM FID Digestive Support into 3-5 meals per day. • Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is characterised by greatly reduced secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes. Conse quently, maldigested food remains in the gastrointestinal tract, and this can lead to diarrhoea, flatulence and bacterial over growth. SPECIFIC TM FID Digestive Support is easily digested and therefore ideal for patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. However, additional use of pancreatic enzyme preparations is recommended despite this fact.
