Dietary nutrient profiles of wild wolves

The nutritive characteristics of commercial foods differ from the dog's closest free-living ancestor, and this may pose physiological and metabolic challenges.

Effects of a restricted iodine food on cats with hyperthyroidism

Feeding a restricted iodine food warrants further study as a treatment option for feline hyperthyroidism.

Effects of calcium and magnesium carbonate on adult cats

The supplement Pronefra may have support applications for cats suffering from renal disorders.

Exogenous thyrotoxicosis in dogs that consume petfood containing thyroid hormone

Thyrotoxicosis can occur secondary to consumption of meat-based products presumably contaminated by thyroid tissue.

Effects of novel fibers on short-chain fatty acid production in canines

CEF had a butyrogenic effect and CEF, CHP and their blends had similar bifidobacteria and lactobacilli populations as popular prebiotic and fiber substrates.

Vitamin E supplementation in adult cats

A supplemental level of 225 mg/kg dietetic management diet of vitamin E has beneficial effects on adult cat immune function.

Early modulation of cecal microbial activity in rabbits with rapidly fermentable fiber

Early intake of RFF in young rabbits stimulated the cecal microbial activity and reduced the voluntary feed intake.

Associations between meal size and gastric emptying in cats

Prolonged gastric emptying contributes to prolonged post-prandial hyperglycemia in cats meal fed a high-carbohydrate, low-protein, dry diet.

Fecal, urinary N-methylhistamine concentrations in dogs with gastrointestinal disease

Urinary NMH concentrations may potentially have clinical utility as a marker of intestinal inflammation in certain groups of dogs with chronic gastrointestinal disease.

Effects of chronic vitamin A supplementation in cats

Moderately elevated vitamin D levels seemed to protect cats against the liver pathology caused by the consumption of large amounts of vitamin A.

Food restriction during pregnancy in rabbits

The rabbit is an ideal model for studying nutritional-related disorders and fetal programming of metabolic disease.

Effect of a pea or rice diet on cardiovascular responses in dogs

A diet containing yellow field peas indicated improved metabolic health in dogs despite continued obesity.
