Case Study: Managing PLE with Ultimate+ Weight Control & Joint Care
Customer: Nick
Dog: Luna
Condition: Suspected Protein-Losing Enteropathy (PLE)
Product Used: Ultimate+ Hydrolysed Dog Food Turkey
The Challenge
Luna, Nick’s dog, was suffering from severe diarrhoea and, after several tests, was suspected of having Protein-Losing Enteropathy (PLE). With other conditions ruled out, the vet recommended a low-fat hydrolysed protein diet to help manage the condition.
The first option, a vet-recommended Purina hydrolysed food, was refused by Luna. Other hydrolysed foods Nick researched still had fat contents over 10%, which isn’t ideal for dogs with PLE.
To stabilise the condition, Nick initially resorted to home-cooked meals of fresh white fish, sweet potato, and boiled rice. While this helped, he needed a reliable, long-term complete food.
The Solution
After researching alternatives, Nick switched Luna to Ultimate+ Hydrolysed Dog Food Turkey , which offers:
- Low fat content (under 10%)
- Easily digestible recipe
- Complete, balanced nutrition
Although not chosen for weight or joint management, the food’s unique formulation suited Luna’s sensitive condition.
The Results
Since switching, Nick reports that Luna’s PLE has remained stable with no additional medication required. Key improvements include:
- Improved digestion
- Stable condition without flare-ups
- A diet Luna enjoys eating
“We are very happy we’ve found a product that Luna likes and that controls her condition so she is happier and healthier.”
