ABSTRACT:
A process for removing nitrogenous wastes from animals with hepatic disease is provided and includes the steps of feeding an animal a diet consisting essentially of a pet food composition containing fermentable fibers which have an organic matter disappearance of from about 15 to about 60 percent when fermented by fecal bacteria for a 24 hour period, said fibers being present in amounts from about 1 to about 11 percent by weight of supplemental total dietary fiber, and maintaining the animal on that diet for a sufficient period of time to allow the fermentable fibers to ferment in the colon of the animal to enhance bacterial activity and provide an acidic environment in said colon for trapping the nitrogenous wastes for excretion through the feces of the animal.
