"In my clinic, I saw cats and dogs that were eating and drinking less or even refusing everything (hyporectic or anorectic animals) on a daily basis. This was due to a disease or a surgery. If they don’t eat, we know that we don’t feed the gut with intraluminal nutrients, important to support the functioning of the immune system. Especially glutamine, arginine, taurine and omega 3 fatty acids are seen as nutrients that will recuperate the animal faster and better. Can a pet recuperate faster and better after illness or surgery when they don’t eat and drink? Enteral feeding must be our preferred choice."

"I also realized that pet owners are judging the work of the vet clinic on the fact that their beloved animal, once home after visiting the vet clinic, needs to eat and drink well. A product that is so palatable that even sick animals will spontaneously eat, will provide a solution for vet, animal and pet owner at home. Our clients will be happy to provide something to their animal at home. They will not see problems in eating and drinking. This will also increase the image of the vet clinic to their clients in terms of quality and professionalism. Such a product need to be implemented in every protocol where there is a risk of refusing to eat and drink, seen when the animal is in a catabolic state. The list of diseases and medicines in humans that affect smell and taste is long and we can also apply this list to our cats and dogs."
