Peptide+ Gastrointestinal Digestive Care

Gastrointestinal Digestive Care Adult Dog Food.

A healthy digestive system is very important to the overall health of dogs.

The main role of the digestive (gastrointestinal) tract is to digest food and absorb the nutrients to use for energy, growth, maintenance and repair.

The digestive tract also provides a barrier between the external environment and the dog’s internal environment, keeping out potentially pathogenic organisms and harmful substances.

Poor digestive health can cause discomfort for dogs, raise concerns for owners and potentially require veterinary intervention. 

THE POWER OF PEPTIDES

The intestinal epithelial cells form tight links (known as tight junctions) between the cells that help maintain the barrier function and prevent potentially harmful substances from entering the body from the environment.

If the tight junctions become damaged (e.g., due to infection or inflammation), the intestinal barrier function can be compromised, leading to gastrointestinal problems and potentially other health issues.

The increased digestibility and absorption of dietary peptides provides an ideal supply of amino acid building blocks, which support the renewal of intestinal epithelial 
cells and aid in maintaining an effective barrier function.

Collagen peptides have been shown to protect against inflammation-induced barrier dysfunction by inhibiting the breakdown of tight junction proteins.

So why choose Peptide+ Gastrointestinal Digestive Care -

• NOURISHED GUT MICROBIOME - Hydrolysed turkey peptides to support renewal of intestinal epithelial cells.
• ENHANCED INTESTINAL HEALTH - Collagen peptides to help maintain the intestinal barrier function.
• GUT IMMUNE DEFENCE - Includes TruPet ™ postbiotic to maintain effective immune cell responses.
• HYPO-ALLERGENIC - Short-chain peptides have very low antigenic potential that helps minimise the risk of adverse reactions to dietary proteins.
• ENHANCED NUTRIENT ABSORPTION - The inclusion of fibre enrichment helps enhance nutrient absorption and optimise stool quality.
• FORMULATED WITHOUT GRAIN - Ideal for pets with grain intolerances or sensitivities.
