RABBIT-MAINTTM (Dry)

Rabbit-MAINT™ canine dry diets contain a limitednumber of highly digestible ingredients, a nutrient profile that supports gastrointestinal health, and are appropriate for elimination diet trials with novel protein sources in dogs suspected to have allergic dermatologic or gastrointestinal disease.1
Rabbit is a novel protein that is naturally low in sodium and is an excellent source of niacin, vitamin B12, iron, phosphorus, and selenium. Chickpea or quinoa provide novel protein and carbohydrate sources. Algae provides a unique plant-based omega-3 source in order to manage the most sensitive allergy patients.1
An optimal blend of fibre, with the addition of prebiotics to restore beneficial intestinal flora, helps to maintain gastrointestinal health.2

Features:

• Single animal protein source (rabbit) 1,3
• No animal fat, corn, or wheat (potential allergen sources)1,4
• High palatability
• High quality protein for lean body mass
• High digestibility
• Added prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides)

Therapeutic Indications:

• Adverse reactions to food (dermatologic and gastrointestinal) 2, 4-8

FEEDING GUIDELINES:

• Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions, as feeding amounts can vary by as much as 30% between dogs. 9,10
• Avoid free feeding (unless there is a specific medical reason); it may promote obesity over time. 11
• The tables below can be used to estimate the amount to feed using the dog’s optimum weight.
• Always introduce new foods gradually over 5-7 days by substituting larger amounts of the new food in place of the old diet.

Please see our website to locate our Feeding Calculator. The calculator can assist with caloric requirements,  feeding volumes, and includes combinations of the wet and dry diets.

Feeding guidelines are from the AAHA 2010 Nutritional Assessment Guidelines for Dogs and Cats.9
The tables should be used as a starting guideline and the actual amounts fed may need to be increased or decreased based on each dog’s individual energy requirement. Energy requirements will vary depending upon such factors as age, breed, gender and neuter status, activity level, and underlying disease state.
COMPATIBLE WET DIET
Rabbit-MAINT wet diet is available and can be fed as a complete and balanced maintenance food or in combination with
the Rabbit-MAINT (with chickpea) or Rabbit-MAINT (with quinoa) dry diets.
COMPATIBLE TREATS
Rayne Rewards S.I.T. Rabbit treats are appropriate in otherwise healthy patients throughout a corresponding elimination
diet trial and in stable allergic or non-allergic patients. All Rayne Rewards jerky treats are single protein, aligned with the
proteins used in Rayne diets. They undergo rigorous quality control to ensure purity. Rayne Rewards S.I.T. Every Dog Apple
& Pumpkin biscuits are also acceptable, vegetable-based treats for stable allergic or non-allergic patients. Ensure that
energy intake from treats does not exceed 10% of daily kcal intake, and that the total kcal from treats is subtracted from the
calculated daily kcal requirement when determining the volume of diet to be fed.

NUTRITIONAL ADEQUACY STATEMENT FOR DIFFERENT LIFE STAGES
The canine Rabbit-MAINT (with chickpea) and Rabbit-MAINT (with quinoa) are formulated to meet the nutritional levels
established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult
maintenance and growth, including growth of large size dogs (>70lbs or more as an adult).
Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate Rabbit-MAINT (with quinoa) provides complete and balanced
nutrition for maintenance of adult dogs.
