ABSTRACT
For this animal, 4 g/100 kcal × 684 kcal = 27 g of protein are required per day. This value would be increased for animals with ongoing protein loss (6 g/100 kcal for dogs, 8 g/100 kcal for cats) such as glomerulopathy, and decreased for animals with protein intolerance (2 g/100 kcal for dogs, 4 g/100 kcal for cats) such as hepatic insufficiency. If a diet ration designed for animals is being used, the protein requirements are likely to be already balanced in the diet. If a human enteral food product is being used, supplementation with a protein module may be required.
