Commonly Prescribed for GI Upset
Gastrointestinal upset is one of the most common reasons cats are brought to a veterinarian. GI upset, which can be caused by many factors such as parasites or infectious agents, generally impairs a cat’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients. PURINA PRO PLAN Veterinary Diets EN Gastroenteric feline Formulas are for the nutritional management of cats and kittens with GI upset. These diets utilise a high protein, low carbohydrate formulation to meet their unique nutritional needs.
