Virbac Veterinary HPM G1 Digestive Support is a complete, clinically formulated dry food for dogs with acute or chronic gastrointestinal disorders. GI illness can stop a dog absorbing essential nutrients, making it hard to hold a healthy weight and body condition — G1 is designed to restore digestive function and support recovery. Built on the HPM philosophy, it's a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, highly digestible formula (34% protein, of which 92% is animal-origin, and 21.5% carbohydrates) with high energy density, so dogs meet their needs from smaller portions during recovery and appetite loss. It's suitable for dogs of all ages and can be used after digestive surgery, illness or loss of appetite. This is a therapeutic veterinary diet and should be used under veterinary supervision.
Key Benefits
-
Restores nutritional status & body condition — energy-dense with high protein, fat and minerals to compensate for malabsorption and help rebuild lost muscle and healthy weight.
-
Supports digestive function — a highly digestible, low-starch formula plus the "Digest Plus" complex (clay, prebiotics, postbiotics, selected fibres, butyrate, nucleotides, beta-glucan, vitamin E) helps strengthen the digestive tract, improve tolerance and stools, and restore digestive defences.
-
Limits strain on the gut — high energy density means smaller portions meet needs, reducing digestive workload during recovery.
-
Immune support — beta-glucan, vitamin E and amino acids help enhance immunity.
-
Whole-body support — additional support for skin and coat, kidney and urinary health, and increased water intake/hydration from protein and sodium.
Composition
