Indication
PRO-VET® Mobility is specially developed for cats with a diminished mobility, osteoarthritis or susceptibility to develop this conditions. PRO-VET® Mobility is enriched with a mixture of chondro-protective agents, namely salmon oil, gelatin hydrolysate, glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, green-lipped mussel and a special milk concentrate.
Four recent studies in different veterinary clinics have shown that dietary with namely salmon oil, gelatin hydrolysate, glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, green-lipped mussel and a special milk concentrate slows down the progression of osteoarthritis by cats. In a standard test, weight bearing was tolerated better by patients fed the test diet instead the control food. PRO-VET® Mobility contains a combination of nutraceuticals as a result of which inflammation responses in the joints are slowed down, the pain is moderated and further demolition of the cartilage matrix is reduced.
The individual nutraceaticals have mostly several functioning mechanisms as a result of which they possibly are centralised.
Epidemiologic research has shown an association between overweight and clinical symptoms of osteoarthritis by the cat. Because osteoartrose have been associated with overweight and higher age, PRO-VET® Mobility for this reason is moreover low in energy, protein and phosphorus and it has been enriched with L-carnitine and vitamin E.
By cats with overweight and osteoarthritis PRO-VET® Mobility will reduce by weight reduction the seriousness of the clinical symptoms. By cats the osteoartrose is a frequent attentive chronic, progressive and painful sickness of the movement apparatus. A serious osteoarthrose forming can be the reason for euthanasia. Besides, the degeneration of cartilage will be typified till the inflammatory response syndrome in the synovial membrane. In the light of above differences PRO-VET® Mobility could give a positive impact on osteoartrose.
Eficacy
| CHARACTERISTIC | EFFECT |
| Chondroprotective agents mixture | Provides an anti-inflammatory effect. Inhibits the degradation and breakdown of cartilage. |
| Gelatin hydrolysate | Stimulates the synthesis of collagen cartilage and delays the progression of osteoarthritis. Inhibits the breakdown of cartilage. |
| Low Energy value + High L-carnitine 0.075% | Promotes the control of bodyweight and adiposity. |
| Low protein content | Reduces the ammonia burden of the liver (hypothesis) and urea (carbamide) burden of the kidneys. |
| Low available phosphorus | Diminishes the risk of development of kidney disease. |
| 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. |
| Rich in natural antioxidants | Reduces risk of cancer. |
| Rich in fibres with high viscosity (FHV) | Decreases risk of diabetes mellitus and hairball formation. Stimulates of gut motility and advancement of faeces consistency. |
| Rich in fibres with low viscosity (FLV) | Stimulates gut motility and controls hairball formation. |
| Added Yucca extract | Yucca has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe pain. Some research suggests that those at high risk for arthritis could potentially prevent its onset by taking yucca. Yucca root, prominent ones include yuccaol, saponine, and resveratrol, are highly anti-inflammatory and quite beneficial in reducing joint pain and arthritis symptoms. |
| 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. |

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.
