Isovia
A passion for dogs and cats at the heart of our commitment
The story of ISOVIA began with a shared passion for dogs and cats, combined with a particular interest in animal nutrition and the role that nutritional supplements can play alongside a balanced diet.
For nearly 15 years, our laboratory has been dedicated to developing nutritional complexes specifically formulated for dogs and cats.
Our approach is based on a simple belief: paying particular attention to the quality of their diet and offering carefully developed complementary nutritional solutions.
Expertise developed in collaboration with veterinarians
All the nutritional complexes in our range have been developed and formulated in collaboration with veterinarians, combining our knowledge of animal nutrition with their professional expertise.
Today, the ISOVIA range is supplied to veterinary practices and clinics throughout France, as well as in several European and Asian countries.
Quality at the heart of our commitments
All our nutritional complexes are manufactured in Europe, following carefully controlled production processes.
From ingredient selection to the manufacture of finished products, we are committed to complying with applicable regulations and current quality standards.
Since its creation, ISOVIA has pursued the same ambition: to put its passion for animals and expertise in complementary nutrition at the service of veterinary professionals and the dogs and cats in their care.
Joint Health and Mobility
Osteoarthritis is a chronic, progressive joint condition affecting both dogs and cats. It is characterised by the gradual deterioration of articular cartilage, accompanied by changes within the joint that may lead to pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.
Although more common in older animals, osteoarthritis can also develop earlier in life, particularly as a result of joint predispositions, injuries or repeated mechanical stress.
- In dogs, signs may include difficulty getting up, reluctance to run or climb stairs.
- In cats, signs are often more subtle, such as reduced jumping, changes in movement habits or decreased activity levels.
Appropriate veterinary management, including weight control, suitable physical activity and, where necessary, specific treatments, helps maintain the animal’s comfort and quality of life.
Vision and Eye Health
Vision plays an essential role in how dogs and cats perceive their surroundings, navigate their environment and interact in everyday life. Although their visual abilities differ from those of humans, particularly in colour perception and the ability to distinguish fine details, their eyes are especially well adapted to detecting movement and seeing in low-light conditions.
As animals age, certain changes may occur in their eyes, progressively affecting the quality of their vision. Various conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma and certain retinal diseases, may also impair their visual abilities.
In dogs, declining vision may become apparent through hesitation when moving around, difficulty avoiding obstacles or reluctance to explore unfamiliar surroundings. In cats, signs are often more subtle and may include reduced jumping, more cautious movement or behavioural changes.
Regular monitoring of eye health and appropriate veterinary care are essential for the early detection of potential abnormalities and help preserve the animal’s comfort and quality of life.
Skin and Coat Health
Â
The skin and coat play an essential role in protecting dogs and cats and maintaining their overall well-being. Acting as a natural barrier against external factors, the skin helps maintain hydration, while the coat contributes to the animal’s protection and regulation of body temperature.
Various dermatological conditions, known as dermatoses, can disrupt this balance. They may cause itching, redness, irritation, dry skin, hair loss or deterioration in coat quality. Their causes vary and may include parasites, infections, allergies or other imbalances within the body.
Among these conditions, atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with individual predisposition and hypersensitivity reactions, particularly to certain environmental allergens. Especially common in dogs, it can cause persistent itching, redness and recurring skin lesions. In cats, allergic reactions may also result in excessive grooming, hair loss or dermatological lesions.
A balanced diet, appropriate hygiene and regular veterinary care all contribute to maintaining healthy skin and coat condition. When skin problems occur, a veterinary diagnosis is essential to identify their underlying cause and establish appropriate management, thereby supporting the animal’s comfort and quality of life.
Intestinal Balance and the Gut Microbiota
The digestive system plays an essential role in the overall well-being of dogs and cats. It is home to a community of microorganisms, mainly bacteria, which make up the gut microbiota, also known as the intestinal flora. This complex ecosystem contributes to digestion, the utilisation of certain nutrients and the normal functioning of the immune system.
The balance of the gut microbiota can be influenced by various factors, including diet, stress, age, environmental changes and certain medications. A disruption of this balance, known as dysbiosis, may be associated with digestive disturbances such as loose stools, diarrhoea or flatulence.
Probiotics are live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, may provide health benefits. Certain strains specifically studied in dogs and cats can help maintain a balanced gut microbiota and support normal digestive function. However, their effects depend on the strains used, the quantities administered and the conditions of use.
A balanced diet tailored to each animal’s individual needs, together with appropriate veterinary care, are essential elements in supporting digestive balance and everyday well-being.
