Indication
PRO-VET® HyperSen makes this ration useful in the treatment of various canine disorders. Food hypersensitivity and atopy often co-exist in cats and it is difficult to distinguish definitively between the two conditions. PRO-VET® HyperSen makes it possible to treat both patients with food hypersensitivity and those with atopy.
Chopping proteins into smaller peptide fragments decreases their antigenicity. This principle extends to cats with food hypersensitivity. Cats with hypersensitivity towards soy protein developed pruritis upon ingesting the intact protein, but did not do so with hydrolysed soy protein.
PRO-VET® HyperSen is hypoallergenic diet which contains hydrolysed proteins which have been used as elimination diet. So far elimination diets with hydrolysed and parent proteins have not been compared directly, but based on data for elimination diets with intact and hydrolysed proteins it could be suggested that hypoallergenic diets as PRO-VET® HyperSen with hydrolysed proteins is more effective than those with intact proteins in the management of food hypersensitivity.
Atopy and food hypersensitivity often go hand in hand and have similar clinical signs, but skin disorders caused by inhaled allergens will not react to hypoallergenic protein sources. The treatment of atopic dermatitis involves the suppression of chronic inflammatory reactions in the skin. PRO-VET® HyperSen contents eicosanoids formed from di-homo-gamma linolenic acid and from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) so that PRO-VET® HyperSen has an anti-inflammatory properties.
Double blind, placebo-controlled experiments in cats with atopic dermatitis have shown that supplements of both borage oil, which is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and fish oil, which is rich in EPA, lower the severity of pruritis, erythema and self-trauma. Good results have been obtained with a diet rich in both fish oil and borage oil. PRO-VET® HyperSen contains about 0.5% borage oil and 5% fish oil. The efficiancy of PRO-VET® HyperSen was tested in four clinics using a double blind, placebo-controlled design. After 10 weeks on the diet, the scores for pruritis and erythema had decreased to about half, while the control treatment had no influence. According to the owners the diet had improved skin condition by 60% of the cats. Clearly, a substantial number of the patients with atopic dermatitis will improve after feeding PRO-VET® HyperSen enriched with suitable amounts of fish oil and borage oil. However, there will be great differences in individual responsiveness.
By cats with idiopathic chronic colitis or inflammatory bowel disease, the feeding of a hypoallergenic diet as PRO-VET® HyperSen based on a hydrolysed protein source caused a significant decrease in clinical signs. Ingestion of fish oil may be expected to further improve the clinical condition through its anti-inflammatory activity. By humans with ulcerative colitis such a positive effect has been demonstrated.
Efficacy
| CHARACTERISTIC | EFFECT |
| Hydrolysed protein sources. | Preventes the adverse reactions to food. |
| Added salmon oil 5% | Anti-inflammatory action, anti-cachectic action. |
| Added borage oil 0.5% | Lowers the severity of pruritus, erythema and self-trauma. It has anti-inflammatory activity and thereby controls skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis. The active principle of borage oil is the omega-6 fatty acid, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). |
| High digestibility of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. | Good consistency of faeces. |
| Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega-3 family (EPA+DHA) | Stimulates the immune function. Improves the condition of skin in atopic disease. Diminishes risk of cancer, kidney failure and osteoarthritis. |
| Steering of urinary acidity and lowering of the concentrations of struvite-forming components. | Reduces the risk of struvite formation. |
| Rich in natural antioxidants. | Reduces risk of cancer and renal insufficiency. |
| Low in phosphorus | Lowers risk of renal failure. |
| Added Yucca extract | Due to the cleaning properties of saponin in yucca root, the blood remains clean, and the body overall excretes the harmful toxins out. The properties of yucca root help in keeping the skin tight and firm. Antioxidants present in yucca root rids the skin off free radicals and helps keep the skin fresh and young for longer. |
| Digestive Health added prebiotics: mannan-oligosaccharides fructo-oligosaccharides | Supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Encourages peristaltic motion, exerting a positive influence on bowel activity and evacuation. Protects the intestine against pathogenic bacteria. |

Feeding guide
Directions for use: The kibbles are ready to be eaten. Please make sure that you always provide plenty of fresh drinking water for your cat. Always remember to wash your cat’s bowl before each feeding session. Feeding guide: To keep your cat happy, feed the adult cat at least twice a day with as much as it likes to eat. Cats will regulate their feeding and seldom overeat. Because each individual cat has different requirements, the recommended daily quantities on the packaging should only be used as a guide.

Storage
While dry food will not spoil as rapidly as other types of food, it does not last indefinitely. Always make sure that you use such foods before the expiration date. Keep the food dry and store it inside the bag it came in; we design the bags to resist moisture and airflow. The best way to store a large bag of dog or cat food is to place the original bag inside a clean plastic pail or container with a secure lid. Do not store dry food in humid rooms, as damp conditions will accelerate spoiling. Always roll the top of the bag down tightly and cinch it closed with a clip. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that pet owners keep dry foods and treats in locations that do not exceed 23 °C (degrees Calsius) or 74 °F (degrees Fahrenheit).
A healthy cat is a happy cat.
