Product Information

Full details

This guide is for pet owners of dogs with compromised digestive systems. The key benefit is providing highly digestible nutrition to ease gut workload and support recovery. A potential caveat is that it's a specialized diet and should be used under veterinary guidance. This wet dog food mousse features easy-to-digest ingredients, including a special fat source (coconut oil) rich in Medium Chain Fatty Acids for enhanced gut absorption, and a controlled low-fat level to minimize maldigestion issues.

FAQs

How long should my dog eat this food?

The duration of feeding depends entirely on your dog's specific condition and your veterinarian's recommendation. This is a therapeutic diet and should be used under their ongoing guidance.

Can I feed this to my puppy?

This diet is formulated for adult dogs unless specifically recommended by a veterinarian for puppies with gastrointestinal issues. Always consult your vet regarding appropriate nutrition for puppies.

What is the difference between this mousse and other Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets?

Is this food gluten-free?

While Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Gastrointestinal Mousse is designed for digestibility, specific allergen information like gluten content should be confirmed by checking the product's detailed ingredient list or by consulting your veterinarian.

How should I store the opened cans?

Refrigerate any unused portions immediately after opening. It is generally recommended to use refrigerated food within 48-72 hours. Ensure the container is covered.

Where can I buy this product?

This is a veterinary diet and is typically available through veterinary clinics or authorized online pet pharmacies upon presentation of a veterinary prescription.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the mousse

Warm the food slightly to enhance aroma, or try mixing a very small amount with a veterinarian-approved topper. Ensure the food is within its "use by" date and has been stored correctly. Consult your veterinarian if refusal persists.

Continued digestive upset (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting)

This diet is formulated to help, but persistent issues may require veterinary re-evaluation. Ensure you are feeding the correct amount and have transitioned properly. Consult your veterinarian immediately.

Food appears dry or separated

This can occasionally happen with canned food. Stir thoroughly before serving to reincorporate any separated liquid or fat. Ensure cans are stored upright and have not been damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
