EmerAid® ™ HDN Canine 

  • EmerAid scientifically addresses the specific nutritional needs of canines.

  • Provides a high level of nutritional flexibility for the veterinary team. Each nutrient-dense, high-energy EmerAid formulation can be prepared at various levels of concentration, as determined by the needs of the patient. .

  • EmerAid® HDN™ or “Highly Digestible Nutrition” is a therapeutic diet scientifically designed for critically ill or recovery canine patients. Developed by critical care veterinarians and nutritionists.

Common Features and Benefits

  • One month shelf life after opening

  • Goes through tubes as small as 5 Fr without clogging

  • Excellent for bolus tube feeding or syringe feeding (not recommended for CRI pumps)

  • Species-specific nutritional formulation

  • Essential and conditionally essential amino acids to meet the needs of the metabolically stressed patient

  • Lean body mass and wound healing promoted with high quality, easily digestible protein plus omega-3 fatty acids to aid in tissue synthesis

  • Enriched in branched chain amino acids to benefit muscle synthesis and repair

  • Higher fiber plus highly digestible soy protein means the incidence of diarrhea is lower than with other critical care formulas

  • Hydrolyzed soy protein minimizes gastrointestinal hypersensitivity. These highly digestible macronutrients prevent and manage osmotic diarrhea, as is associated with completely elemental diets

  • Purified fiber sources to maintain intestinal motility and commensal microflora

  • Cellulose serves as a source of insoluble fiber and acts as a prebiotic

  • Glutamine and arginine support immunity and antioxidant systems

  • Enterocyte health maintained and supported allowing for the maximum absorbable nutrition in the gastrointestinal tract

  • Synergistic antioxidants vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and taurine to defend against oxidative stress

  • Casein supports digestion of fats and tissue synthesis while providing anxiolytic properties

  • L-tryptophan, a precursor for the synthesis of serotonin, to reduce stress

  • Dietary nucleotides provide RNA and DNA precursors to support the immune system, nourish the gastrointestinal tract, and assist in weight gain

  • Hydrolyzed starch supplies glucose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, which avoids the osmotic problems associated with feeding only glucose. Vital for the acute carbohydrate needs associated with debilitation.

  • Balanced electrolytes

  • Stabilized vitamins and chelated minerals

  • Free of artificial colors and preservatives

  • Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid

  • Meets AAFCO nutritional requirements for adult maintenance
