Information

Emeraid Intensive Care HDN Canine is highly digestible nutrition scientifically formulated for use in dogs with anorexia, critical illness, post-op in debilitated patients, anemia, and more. Its ingredients have been broken down into small, easy-to-absorb components. This elemental nutrition provides nutrients in small sizes like amino acids for easier and quicker assimilation of nutrients. The powdered formula is mixed with water to feed.

High energy (2.26 to 1.36 kcal/ml ME)
1-month shelf life after opening
Usable in tubes as small as 5 Fr without clogging
All ingredients are optimized for assisting stressed patients, including amino acids, easily digestible protein, omega-3 fatty acids, purified fiber, cellulose, antioxidants, stabilized vitamins, chelated minerals, balanced electrolytes, and more
Hydrolyzed starch supplies glucose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, which avoids the osmotic problems associated with feeding only glucose

Feeding Style	EmerAid Powder (parts)*	Water** (parts)	ME*** (kcal/ml)
Syringe	3.5	2	2.26
Tube (10Fr or larger)	2	2	1.69
Tube (5Fr-8Fr)	1.5	2	1.36
* “Parts” indicate the proportions needed. To mix EmerAid, you can use the scoop provided, a syringe cap, any measuring implement of your choice as long as the proportions described above remain consistent Mix with hot water measuring 122°F (50°C) * Metabolizable energy when made as directed

Feeding Recommendations:

EmerAid^® Intensive Care HDN™ Canine is a therapeutic product to be used only under the supervision of a veterinarian. Begin with 25% to 30% of resting energy requirements and gradually adjust the volume and number of feedings based on patient condition. A volume of 5-10 ml/kg/feeding is generally well tolerated via esophagostomy or gastric tube. Resting energy requirements can be calculated using the following equation [70 x BW(kg)^0.75].

When fed for longer than 1 month, supplement EmerAid^® Intensive Care HDN™ Canine daily with 1% fish oil on a dry matter basis. When EmerAid HDN is fed to lactating animals longer than 1 week, it is recommended that the diet be supplemented daily with 1% fish oil (DMB). The NRC recommends a level of 0.11 g/1,000 kcal ME of a combination of DHA and EPA for adult dogs.

Puppy Feeding Recommendations

Puppies have relatively high energy requirements compared to adult dogs. Begin with 25% to 30% of daily energy requirements and gradually adjust the volume and number of feedings based on patient condition. A volume of 5-10 ml/kg/feeding is generally well tolerated via esophagostomy or gastric tube. Daily energy requirements can be calculated using the following equation [70 x BW(kg)^0.75] x 3.

EmerAid^® Intensive Care HDN™ Canine meets or exceeds requirements for all life stages with the one exception of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) levels. When EmerAid HDN is fed to growing animals longer than 1 week, it is recommended the diet be supplemented daily with 1% fish oil (DMB). The NRC recommends a level of 0.13 g/1,000 kcal ME of a combination of DHA and EPA for both puppies.
