Hill's Urgent Care a/d Canine/Feline 156 g
For the nutritional support of pets recovering from surgery, illness or injury
Cats and dogs can undergo significant metabolic changes when recovering from surgery, illness or injury.
While under these stressful conditions, your pet is challenged to maintain their strong natural defenses which make it even more important to feed the right food to help your pet bounce back from these tough situations.
Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet® a/d®, clinically tested nutrition specially formulated for dogs and cats recovering from a debilitative state.
Prescription Diet® a/d® is formulated with the following benefits:
- High levels of high quality and highly digestible protein and fat to meet increased energy needs
- High levels of clinically proven antioxidants to support immune system and offset oxidative stress
- Increased levels of B vitamins and zinc to support convalescence, skin recovery and natural body defenses
- Increased potassium to combat depletion
- Exceptional palatability to stimulate appetite in sick inappetent pets and encourage early feeding
- Smooth, soft, moist and thixotropic consistency (stirring makes it more liquid) for maximum flexibility in feeding - by hand, bowl, spoon, syringe or tube
Digestibility (Protein and Fat) | High | Meets increases energy needs |
Glutamine | High | Helps fight complications from infection, boost cell-mediated immunity, provide energy source to the enterocytes and help maintain integrity of intestinal mucosa (gut barrier function) in critically ill patients |
Potassium | Increased | Combats depletion. |
Arginine and Branched Chain Amino Acids | High | Help reduce the breakdown of muscle and organ tissue |
Omega-3 Fatty Acids | High | Help combat inflammation |
Clinically Proven Antioxidants | High | Support immune system and offset oxidative stress |
B Vitamins and Zinc | High | Support convalescence, skin recovery and natural body defenses |
Smooth Consistency | Soft and thixotropic (stirring makes it more liquid) | Gives flexibility in feeding – by hand, bowl, spoon, syringe or tube |
Energy Density | High | To reduce feeding amount |
