Tree Barks Powder

A nutritious combination which, because of its soothing properties and high digestibility, has been traditionally used for weaning young animals and for convalescents during the recovery period following illness.

The highly digestible ingredients and low fat content make it an ideal food to aid poor digestion.
It is soothing to the digestive system and helps to slow the passage of food through the system, so is of great benefit for acute intestinal absorptive disorders and can be given both during and in the recovery period following acute diarrhoea.

It may be given when required for short term use or indefinitely if necessary for conditions such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.

It may be given mixed with skimmed milk, live natural yoghurt or water or can be simply sprinkled onto the food if preferred.

For cats with delicate digestive systems, it has been found that by adding a little Tree Barks Powder to each meal the toleration of almost any food is increased.

Glucosamine & Chondroitin Tablets

Healthy animals produce enough glucosamine themselves to keep their cartilage healthy, however in older animals where wear and tear is starting or following injury or damage they do require a little bit more to keep their joints healthy. Chondroitin has a number of functions but ultimately works synergistically with the glucosamine.

Many pet foods claim to include Glucosamine & Chondroitin but, as these are expensive ingredients, this inclusion could simply be the outcome of a marketing descision rather than actually providing a therapeutic dose. You should check the actual amount included.

Ingredients (Per Tablet): Glucosamine 400mg, Chondroitin Sulphate (Marine source) 200mg

A very interesting set of calculations have been carried out based on prices at 3rd March 2011 for a labrador with knee displasia:
Using Royal Canin Mobility Support + Omnicondro would cost approximately 90€ per month
Using Burns High Oats + Dorwest Glucosamine & Chondroitin would cost approximatley 50€ per month
