Pooch & Mutt launches new ‘low fat’ food for dogs

Pooch and Mutt, a British pet food brand, has introduced a new flavour to its grain-free wet dog food range, targeted at dogs with sensitive digestion and gastrointestinal disease.

The new ‘fish, potato and pea complete wet food’ recipe aims to cater to dogs that are “overweight” or suffer from gastrointestinal disorders such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease or those that are prone to pancreatitis.

The all-natural recipe is also grain-free and naturally hypoallergenic, suitable for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies.

Dr Linda Simon, veterinarian surgeon at Pooch and Mutt, said: “There are a range of conditions that can affect the stomach and intestines of the dog. Symptoms can include chronic diarrhoea, periodic vomiting, a reduced appetite or the presence of blood or mucus in the stool.”

“Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas which can cause severe abdominal pain and can occur in any dog, regardless of age or breed. However, it is more common in certain breeds including the Poodle, Miniature Schnauzer and Cocker Spaniel.”
