Canine Diet Changes
Satiety Support contains higher levels of soluble and insoluble fibre to help reduce the feeling of being hungry which sometimes accompanies diets that are strictly calorie reduced.
Gastro Intestinal Moderate Calorie is formulated similar to Gastro, but the main source of protein has changed from lamb to chicken to improve digestibility. The new diet contains the same calorie level as Gastro.
Gastro Intestinal Fibre Response is reformulated from Fibre. The blend of fibre used in the diet has improved. It is no longer an appropriate choice as a weight loss diet.
Gastro Intestinal Low Fat is now even lower in fat that its precursor Low Fat. It is enhanced with EPA/DHA (Essential Omega 3 Fatty Acids), psyllium for stool consistency and antioxidants.
Feline Diet Changes
Satiety Support contains higher levels of soluble and insoluble fibre to help reduce the feeling of being hungry which sometimes accompanies diets that are strictly calorie reduced.
Gastro Intestinal Moderate Calorie is formulated similar to Gastro, but has fewer calories.
Gastro Intestinal Fibre Response is reformulated from Fibre. It contains additional psyllium fibre and is more effective in managing constipation and megacolon.
