Complete dietary food for adult dogs with intestinal disorders: high in selected fibers for the nutritional management of colitis, fiber-responsive diarrhea, and constipation.
Large intestine disorders in dogs, particularly acute or chronic colitis and alterations in colonic motility, result in frequent, small-volume bowel movements, the presence of mucus in the stool, tenesmus (painful straining), or, conversely, persistent episodes of constipation. In these clinical conditions, a standard or low-residue diet does not provide the mechanical and fermentative stimulation necessary to normalize the physiological functions of the large intestine.
Royal Canin Gastrointestinal High Fiber offers a targeted clinical solution based on a specially formulated blend of fibers with varying rates of fermentation. The high concentration of dietary fiber, enriched with psyllium husks and seeds, acts as a natural fluid regulator: it absorbs excess fluid in cases of diarrhea, giving the stool a firmer consistency, while it hydrates and softens the stool in cases of constipation, stimulating orderly and effective peristalsis.
The fermentable fiber fraction serves as nourishment for colonocytes and supports the growth of beneficial enteric bacteria, strengthening the mucosal barrier.
Despite its high fiber density, the formula ensures an adequate energy content to maintain the dog’s vitality and ideal weight without overburdening the stomach. The inclusion of highly digestible L.I.P. proteins limits the amount of nitrogenous waste in the colon, while the long-chain fatty acids EPA and DHA help counteract inflammation of the intestinal walls.
