Graceful VetCare Recipe Gastrointestinal Digestive Care

FOR CATS WHOSE GUT NEEDS PROTEIN IT CAN ACTUALLY USE

Not all dietary protein delivers equal nutritional value: what matters is not just the quantity on the label, but how much the gut can actually absorb and put to work. Graceful VetCare Recipe Gastrointestinal Digestive Care is built on Freshly Prepared Hydrolysed Turkey (40%), a novel protein source processed by Freshtrusion HDP into highly bioavailable small-chain peptides and delivering 31% crude protein at 92% digestibility, far exceeding the FEDIAF standard of 80% in a feeding study at West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin. Prebiotics FOS (2,310mg/kg) and MOS (960mg/kg) support a balanced gut microbiome, and collagen peptides at 4.6% help protect the tight junction barrier function of the intestinal lining.

Why it's a great choice

• Freshly Prepared Hydrolysed Turkey as primary protein: Turkey provides a novel protein source for cats more accustomed to salmon or chicken-based diets, reducing the risk of existing food sensitivities, while Freshtrusion HDP processing delivers small-chain peptides with superior gut absorption and a 92% digestibility rate confirmed in feeding trials.

• High-dose dual prebiotic formulation: FOS (2,310mg/kg) and MOS (960mg/kg) provide a clinically meaningful prebiotic dose to feed beneficial gut bacteria, support a balanced microbiome, help reduce unpleasant stool odour, and contribute to immune function through the gut-immune axis.

• 4.6% collagen for intestinal barrier integrity: At 4.6% collagen content, this formula delivers a higher collagen level than most recipes in the range, providing collagen peptides that help support the structure of tight junctions in the gut lining and protect against inflammation-related barrier damage.

• Cellulose fibre for stool quality: Cellulose supports healthy nutrient absorption and helps maintain firm, well-formed stools, contributing to digestive comfort and giving owners a reliable indicator of their cat's digestive health throughout the day.

Key benefits for your Cat

• 92% protein digestibility in feeding trials: In a feeding study at West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland, this formula achieved 92% protein digestibility, significantly exceeding FEDIAF's 80% benchmark and confirming the practical digestive advantage of the Freshtrusion HDP process.

• Supported gut lining repair and maintenance: Collagen peptides contribute to the renewal of intestinal epithelial cells and help protect the tight junction structure of the gut wall, reducing the risk of digestive discomfort associated with barrier compromise from infection, inflammation, or stress.

• Balanced microbiome from dual prebiotics: FOS and MOS together provide a comprehensive prebiotic environment that feeds multiple strains of beneficial bacteria, promoting microbiome diversity and reducing the compounds that contribute to unpleasant stool odour for both cat and owner.

• Novel protein for cats with dietary sensitivities: Turkey as the primary freshly prepared protein is a less common ingredient in cat food, making this a practical choice for cats with existing sensitivities to fish or chicken whose digestive issues may have a dietary sensitivity component.

The right choice for sterilised and adult cats with digestive sensitivities, irregular stool quality, or a history of gastrointestinal issues, offering a study-backed digestibility advantage and a complete gut support package in a novel turkey-based recipe.
