Piper 4Vets Low Stress Can for Dogs

The 4vets Low Stress veterinary diet is a complete food for adult dogs that covers the needs of all nutrients. Thanks to the use of herbs and L-tryptophan, it helps calm and relax the dog. It can complement behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders. It is also used for dogs that experience discomfort due to various environmental factors. It is an easily digestible food that does not overload the digestive system.
Characteristics:

High-quality proteins: the food is based on high-quality animal protein sources with a very favorable amino acid composition. Thanks to this, it is possible to provide the correct proportion of energy and construction materials necessary to maintain a constant body weight.

The presence of fatty acids, derived from both raw materials of animal origin (salmon oil) and linseed oil, guarantees the maximum participation of polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-3 and n-6 ​​families in the biochemical control of all the important functions of tissues.

L-tryptophan: the addition of this ingredient combined with the ingredient found naturally in raw materials of animal origin affects many bodily functions, including: regulates metabolism (reduces appetite), by increasing the synthesis of vitamin B6, influences carbohydrate metabolism in the body, participates in the secretion of growth hormone, influences the level of neurotransmitters: dopamine, norepinephrine and betaendorphin (their level increases after consuming a meal rich in tryptophan).

Herbs: The presence of St. John's wort (Hypericum L.) and valerian (Valeriana officinalis) in foods relieves tension and has an anxiolytic effect, so Low Stress foods can complement behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders. The introduction of foods is also recommended in periods of greater stress or situations of emotional tension during travel. Additionally, valerian can have a calming effect on dogs with digestive problems caused by stress. Herbs have a positive effect on the calming and relaxation process and support the return to emotional balance.

L-carnitine: guarantees a specific and facilitated transport of medium chain fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are metabolized; The lipolytic effect thus obtained influences the reduction of body weight.

Dry brewer's yeast (source of prebiotics: mannanoligosaccharides and β-glucans) has a beneficial effect on the intestinal bacterial flora. Yeast has a high biological value also due to the high content of vitamin B. The use of yeast in the nutrition of young dogs is particularly important because it stimulates a wide range of immune responses.

Mojave Yucca: The presence of this ingredient stimulates digestive functions, the absorption of nutrients from the digestive tract and stimulates its peristalsis. Added to the diet, it reduces the production of intestinal gases and the intensity of the odor of feces. Additionally, Mojave cassava saponins have antibacterial activity that suppresses protozoan infections that occur in the intestines, and polyphenols have anti-inflammatory properties.
