Based on the pro-nutrition.com/protect page. PROTECT is a veterinary range — not currently stocked on this site, included here for reference.

What does PROTECT mean by "ONP" (Particular Nutritional Purposes)?

PROTECT foods are complete dietetic foods formulated to "Particular Nutritional Purposes," meaning each recipe follows a strict specification evaluated and approved by European authorities (Regulation (EU) 2020/354) to target a specific health condition.

Is PROTECT food developed with veterinarians?

Yes. PROTECT recipes are formulated under veterinary supervision, developed jointly by Pro-Nutrition®'s nutrition experts and veterinary nutrition specialists.

What health conditions does the PROTECT range address?

PROTECT covers the most common conditions affecting dogs and cats, including obesity/weight management, osteoarthritis and joint mobility, skin/dermatological issues, digestive sensitivity, and urinary conditions (including struvite stone dissolution), among others.

Is the effectiveness of PROTECT foods clinically proven?

Yes. Pro-Nutrition® states that PROTECT's efficacy is measured through numerous studies conducted with veterinary clinics and veterinary schools, with published results such as itch reduction, weight loss percentages, mobility improvement, and stone dissolution rates within defined timeframes.

What is the "P+ Microbiome Complex" in PROTECT foods?

It is a blend of yeast extracts (for microbial diversity), apple fibres (for healthy transit), and prebiotics (for digestive comfort) designed to support a balanced intestinal microbiome.

What is "Plant Active Benefit" in PROTECT recipes?

Each PROTECT formula includes a specific blend of plants recognised for beneficial effects on a particular health issue, reinforcing the effectiveness of the food alongside its nutritional formulation.

What PROTECT products are available for dogs?

The dog range includes Dermato (skin), Obesity, Osteo (joints), Digest, Urinary, Sterilised, Senior+, and Digest Puppy.

What PROTECT products are available for cats?

How is the effectiveness of probiotics in Pro-Nutrition products guaranteed?

Simply adding probiotics to food doesn't guarantee effectiveness — these fragile, live micro-organisms must survive until they reach the intestine. Pro-Nutrition uses an exclusive protection technology to deliver the right quantity of live micro-organisms to the right place at every meal.

Why does PROTECT use plants (phytotherapy) in its veterinary products?

Phytotherapy is an excellent complement to conventional veterinary medicine, and can even substitute for it in some cases, helping provide comfort or prevent certain conditions when animals are monitored regularly. PROTECT formulas incorporate a diverse blend of plants recognised for positive health effects.

What do proteins provide for animals?

Proteins are essential molecules for life. Dietary protein supplies amino acids that the body uses as building blocks to synthesise all the proteins needed to carry out physiological functions.

Is a gluten-free diet beneficial for dogs?

Grains aren't harmful to most dogs — only two breeds show gluten sensitivity: some Irish Setter lines (gluten enteropathy, similar to human coeliac disease) and Border Terriers (linked to paroxysmal gluten-sensitive dyskinesia). For a gluten-intolerant dog, switching to gluten-free kibble is essential.

What are the benefits of grain-free kibble for pets?

Grain-free, gluten-free foods (like Pure Life) are high in protein (85% animal-based) to respect the carnivorous nature of dogs and cats, with a controlled starch content that supports excellent digestive tolerance — particularly beneficial for animals intolerant to grains and/or gluten.
