Diet
recommendation for animals with
conditions that have created
sensitive stomachs and intestines:
Day
1: It is best not to feed anything
on Day 1 to adult animals. Water is
fine and should be given in small
amounts throughout the day, up to 1
ounce per pound of body weight. For
puppies and kittens, use a 12-hour
food fast and 2 ounces of water per
pound spread out over the day.
Day
2: Feed IVD Sensitive for Dogs and
Neutral for Cats. Feed 1/3 of the
quantity you would normally feed and
spread it out over the day in at
least 3 feedings. Water is done the
same way as on the first day.
Day
3: Feed the same foods as on Day 2
but increase the amount to the
regular amount fed spread out in 3
feedings. Water the same as Day 1.
Day
4-5: Make up a 50-50 mix of some of
the regular food you feed and the
IVD food you have been feeding. Feed
in 3 feedings over the day. Water
can be free choice.
Day
6: Feed regular food in the number
of meals you normally feed. Water
can be free choice.
Note:
If you prefer to cook for your pet,
you can use oatmeal, Cream of Wheat,
BOILED hamburger (skim off the fat). |
