Dechra SPECIFIC® CED-DM Adult Endocrine Support Dry Dog Food is recommended for diabetes mellitus hyperlipidaemia. Nutritional support of healthy blood levels of glucose and lipids, normal blood pressure, optimal skin condition and body weight and supporting the immune response towards recurrent infections in dogs with endocrine disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism or hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing’s disease): constipation, fibre-responsive colitis.
SPECIFIC CED-DM is a dietetic dry dog food that has a low content of carbohydrates, derived from slow-release CH sources oats and peas, and an increased level of fibre to promote the gradual release of glucose from the diet to reduce postprandial hyperglycemia for support of patients with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is associated with oxidative stress, which is involved in the development of diabetic complications. High dietary levels of antioxidant substances such as vitamins A and E and fruit extracts help to neutralise the reactive oxygen species.
This food contains ß-1,3/1,6-glucans from yeast and increased levels of zinc, selenium and Omega-3 fatty acids to support the immune status. Beta-glucans can bind to macrophages and alert the immune system, thereby supporting the immune response, affecting natural cytokine production and helping maintain glycemic control—uniquely high Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA levels from fish oil and krill. High intake of Omega-3 fatty acids has been shown to regulate blood lipids in case of hyperlipidaemia, help maintain normal blood pressure and support insulin sensitivity. These fatty acids can affect the immune response to the natural production of eicosanoids, which involve different processes in the body and support healthy joints, skin and coats. It also contains fermentable fibre to support a healthy microbiome.
It is not recommended for young, fast-growing puppies. Pregnant or lactating bitches.
