Emeraid® Sustain™ HDN Canine

or “Highly Digestible Nutrition” is a therapeutic diet scientifically designed to support canines that are recovering from critical illness, suffering from chronic medical conditions, or underweight. It is also designed to transition the debilitated dog from intensive care nutrition to normal feeding. As a recovery diet, it contains more whole nutrients than Emeraid Intensive Care HDN Canine. Developed by an expert panel, including critical care veterinarians and nutritionists, this therapeutic diet is easily absorbed and highly digestible.

Features & Benefits

High energy (2.23-1.34 kcal/ml ME)
One month shelf life after opening
Goes through tubes as small as 5 Fr without clogging
Excellent for bolus tube feeding or syringe feeding
Species-specific nutritional formulation
More whole proteins than Intensive Care HDN
Essential and conditionally essential amino acids to meet the needs of the metabolically stressed patient
L-carnitine, branched chain amino acids and highly digestible proteins promote lean body mass and wound healing
Balanced levels of omega 3:omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids to modulate the inflammatory response and aid in tissue synthesis
Synergistic antioxidants vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and taurine to defend against oxidative stress
Glutamine and arginine support immunity and antioxidant systems
L-tryptophan, a precursor for the synthesis of serotonin to reduce stress
Maintains and promotes enterocyte health to allow for the maximum absorbable nutrition in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT)

Dietary nucleotides provide RNA and DNA precursors to support the immune system, nourish the GIT, and assist in weight gain
Hydrolyzed soy protein minimizes gastrointestinal hypersensitivity. These highly digestible macronutrients prevent and manage osmotic diarrhea, as is associated with completely elemental diets
Casein aids in the digestion of fats and tissue synthesis while providing anxiolytic properties
Fiber levels appropriate to maintain intestinal motility and commensal microflora
Cellulose serves as a source of insoluble fiber and acts as a prebiotic
Hydrolyzed starch supplies glucose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, to avoid the osmotic problems associated with glucose only feeding. Vital for the acute carbohydrate needs associated with debilitation
Balanced electrolytes
Stabilized vitamins and chelated minerals
Neutral pH
Free of artificial colors and preservatives
Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid
Meets canine adult maintenance requirements
