These fatty acids are gradually replaced and must therefore be constantly replenished.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">How do you use the program?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: .88rem; color: #666; margin-bottom: 20px; font-style: italic;\">Not every animal has the same nutritional needs. The phases therefore offer room to select products and quantities individually. For each supplement, you will find the amount per weight. In the case of existing conditions, medication use, or a special diet, it is important to coordinate the composition and quantities in advance with the treating veterinarian. This program consists of complementary feed products and is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases.    <\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #fff8e1; border-left: 4px solid #d5cd47; padding: 14px 18px; margin-bottom: 28px;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: .85rem; color: #5a4000;\">Do you have questions during the program, or want to tailor the schedule to your pet?
