Virbac has launched Veterinary HPM Digestive Support wet diets, two clinical diets for the nutritional management of digestive issues and convalescence in cats and dogs.

Virbac says this is the only wet product to provide separate species-specific dog and cat convalescence diets tailored to the unique nutritional needs of both species.

In an internal study conduct by Virbac, 86% of dogs with digestive issues improved within a week of using the diet1 

The new diets are high in protein and low in carbohydrate and they can be used alone or in combination with the company's dry diets (suggested 50/50 split).

Andrew Connolly, Marketing Director – UK & Ireland at Virbac said: “We’re thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive feedback we've received on our new Veterinary HPM Digestive Support wet diets.

“Practices and pet owners alike are commenting on the extraordinary palatability of the diets and their effectiveness, particularly with convalescing and inappetent pets”.
