Assessment Through a Pet Owner Survey of the Gastrointestinal Tolerance of a New High Protein-Low Carbohydrate Diet Range in Growing Dogs

摘要

The digestive tolerance of three commercial diets (Baby Dog Small & Toy, Baby Dog Large & Medium, and Junior Dog Special Large) issued from a new high protein-low carbohydrate diet range, Veterinary HPMTM, was assessed in growing dogs through an online survey administered to 129 pet owners over a 28-day testing period, and was compared to that of the dogs' usual diets. Multiple-choice questionnaires had to be filled out at the beginning of the study, at the end of a 4-day diet transition, and after 7, 14, and 28 days.
