Dechra Specific Adult CED-DM Endocrine Support Dry Dog Food - 12kg By Dechra Specific

SPECIFIC™ Endocrine Support is a complete dietetic pet food for adult dogs for regulation of glucose supply (Diabetes Mellitus) and lipid metabolism in case of hyperlipidaemia. Contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oil and added ß-1,3/1,6-glucans in order to provide support of the immune response.

Benefits

A low content of carbohydrates, derived from slow release CH sources oats and peas, and an increased level of fibre to promote gradual release of glucose from the diet to reduce postprandial hyperglycemia for support of patients with diabetes mellitus.

Contains ß-1,3/1,6-glucans from yeast, and increased levels of zinc, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids to support the immune status. Beta-glucans can bind to macrophages and alert the immune system, thereby supporting the immune response, affecting natural cytokine production and helping in maintaining glycemic control.

Uniquely high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from fish oil and krill. High intake of omega-3 fatty acids has shown to regulate blood lipids in case of hyperlipidaemia, help maintain normal blood pressure and support insulin sensitivity. These fatty acids can affect the immune response natural production of eicosanoids which have effects on different processes in the body and supports healthy joints, skin and coats.

Diabetes mellitus is associated with oxidative stress, which is involved in the development of diabetic complications. High dietary levels of antioxidant substances such as vitamins A, E and fruit extracts help to neutralise the reactive oxygen species.
