RC Recovery canned 195g

Royal Canin Recovery provides vital nutrition to dogs and cats recovering from illness, injury, surgery and malnutrition.

This diet is particularly recommended for:

• Anorexia or malnutrition
• Nutritional support during post-surgery and intensive care
• Convalescence
• Tube feeding
• Pregnancy, lactation, growth
• Cachexia (weakness and muscle wastage due to illness)

When recovering from illness and injury, the body requires high levels of energy and essential nutrients to support healing and recovery as well as maintaining a healthy immune system. Inadequate nutrition, particularly during periods of illness, results in reduced production of T lymphocytes, and decreased effectiveness of other white blood cells. This causes suppression of the immune system, leaving the body susceptible to infection and therefore increasing the risk of disease. Amino acids, carbohydrates and energy are essential for tissue synthesis and repair, meaning that without adequate nutrition pets with injuries or illness may have slower rates of recovery and healing. Nutrients from a balanced diet are also necessary to ensure that normal cellular functions take place. If deficiencies are present it can result in impaired metabolism of drugs by the liver, reduced transport of drug molecules through the bloodstream and decreased blood flow to the kidneys. These changes can result in drugs being less effective, or conversely increase the risk of overdose and side effects.

Many pets recovering from illness or injury will have a reduced appetite. Royal Canin Recovery is formulated to be highly palatable to both cats and dogs, and has a soft consistency to aid feeding via syringe or feeding tube if required. Its high energy content helps to compensate for the reduced food intake of inappetent pets. Recovery is highly digestible and has high concentrations of vital nutrients to aid wound and tissue healing as well as supporting the immune system to help your pet recover sooner. Recovery also contains a synergistic antioxidant complex to help neutralise free radicals and further protect the immune system.
