New prescription pet diet with Small Peptide+ technology.
Instant Gut Absorption, Zero Burden.
What Are Small Peptides?
Small peptides are short chains of 2-30 amino acids (<3000 Da molecular weight) derived from hydrolyzed proteins. Unlike whole proteins, their optimized molecular structure enables rapid absorption and targeted biological activity.
Key Benefits for Companion Animals
1. Digestive Health Optimization**
- 88% Faster Nutrient Uptake: Small peptides use active transport (PEPT1 transporters) in the small intestine, bypassing slow protein digestion. Proven effective for:
- Senior pets with reduced digestive enzymes
- Post-surgery recovery (e.g., pancreatitis)
- Brachycephalic breeds prone to regurgitation

2. Hypoallergenic Nutrition**
- Reduced Antigenicity: Hydrolysis breaks down allergenic epitopes in proteins like chicken (Gall d1) and beef (Bos d6). Clinical studies show:
- 72% reduction in pruritus scores for atopic dermatitis
- 90% elimination of food trial failures in IBD cases

3. Immune System Support**
- Bioactive Peptides: Specific sequences (e.g., lactoferricin) demonstrate:
- 3X increase in mucosal IgA production
- Enhanced neutrophil activity against pathogens
Relevant for: Parvovirus recovery, feline leukemia management
4. Organ-Specific Support**
- Renal Care: Low-phosphorus peptides (e.g., <0.6% DM basis) with high biological value:
Reduce urea nitrogen production by 40% vs. intact proteins.
Maintain muscle mass in Stage 2-3 CKD patients.

- Hepatic Support: Methionine-rich peptides (e.g., from egg white):
Increase glutathione synthesis for toxin clearance.
Reduce hepatic encephalopathy risk in portosystemic shunts
5. Skin & Coat Health**
- Cysteine-Rich Peptides: Promote keratin synthesis for:
- 50% faster wound healing post-surgery
- Improved coat gloss (30% increase in sebum production)
6. Weight Management**
- Appetite-Regulating Peptides: Peptide YY analogs help:
- Increase satiety signals by 25% in obese pets
- Preserve lean mass during weight loss programs
Technical Advantages in Pet Food
- Stability: Resist denaturation during extrusion (unlike probiotics)
- Palatability: Mask bitter tastes common in hydrolyzed proteins
- Synergy: Enhance absorption of minerals (zinc, iron) and vitamins
