Low Protein FAQs
Which dogs is AliVet "Low Protein Diet" suitable for?
The "Low Protein Diet" menus have been specially developed for dogs with impaired kidney function, e.g. in the context of chronic renal insufficiency. They are easier on the kidneys thanks to their lower protein and phosphorus content, adapted fats and increased fibre, while ensuring at the same time that the dog has an optimal supply of nutrients.
Which ingredients make the menus particularly gentle on the kidneys?
The menus contain lower protein content and increased fat content to ensure the supply of energy. At the same time, they are low in phosphate and therefore help to slow down the progression of kidney disease.
What are the benefits of the herbs it contains?
Herbs such as marigold, parsley, nettle and dandelion are known to have a supportive effect on kidney function.
Why is a low protein content important?
The reduced protein content minimises the strain on the kidneys, while the adjusted fat content together with easily digestible carbohydrates ensures calorie intake. This avoids overloading the kidneys and protects the metabolism while still providing the dog with the energy and nutrients it needs.
How does nutrition support long-term organ function?
Strain on the kidneys is relieved by the targeted reduction of substances that are harmful to the kidneys and the supplementary herbs and superfoods. This helps to maintain the remaining kidney function. The diet menus serve a therapeutic function and they should always be used in accordance with the vet’s guidance.
