How it works:
- High levels of digestible protein and fat to support recovery
- Smooth, soft, moist and thixotropic consistency, stirring makes it more liquid, to enable multiple feeding options
- Clinically proven antioxidants to support immune function & healing
How it helps:
- Energy-dense and rich in calories to provide the energy needed during recovery
- Exceptional taste to encourage eating
- Maximum flexibility in feeding - by hand, bowl, spoon, syringe or tube - to deliver the essential nutrients critically ill pets need
- Bolsters the immune system and supports your pet's natural ability to heal
