Rich Description: Dietary therapy is crucial for the effective management of gastrointestinal disorders both in the short and long term. Pets recovering from gastrointestinal disease require a diet that is easily digested and nonirritating to aid their recovery. Reduced levels of fat are important as the process of fat digestion is complex and often interrupted by gastrointestinal disease. In dogs that are recovering from pancreatitis diets that are too high in fat may stimulate the pancreas increasing causing the pancreatitis to recur. Ideally a diet for a dog recovering a gastrointestinal disorder should also contain highly digestible proteins and carbohydrates moderate levels of mixed soluble and insoluble fibre as well as prebiotics to assist in normal intestinal motility and support the growth of normal bacterial microflora. Supplementation of the diet with omega3 fatty acids from fish oil may also be beneficial to dogs with gastrointestinal disease due to their anti inflammatory effects.
