Dog - Preventive - NEUTERED - ADULT LARGE & MEDIUM

Available sizes: 3kg, 7kg, 12kg

GLOBAL PREVENTIVE PROFILE

Neutered dogs are predisposed to being overweight, and often exhibit an increased appetite.

Body Weight Control

The controlled energy density of the diet and adapted feeding rations help prevent the excess weight which might result from sterilisation. The HP-LC formulation helps maintain optimal body condition. The increased fibre content helps achieve satiety. The L-carnitine supplement helps fat metabolism and limits fatty tissue deposit.

Moderate Calorie Level

The reduced level of fat and increased level of fibre help to reduce the energy content of the diet, thus limiting calorie intake.

Joint & Muscle Support

The high protein content and chondroitin and chitosan supplements contribute to a strong and healthy musculoskeletal system.

High Digestive Tolerance ⁽¹⁾

The low starch content helps to ensure good digestive tolerance. The choice of soluble and insoluble dietary fibres (prebiotic) and the lactobacillus supplement (probiotic) regulate intestinal transit and help ensure a balanced digestive flora. The bentonite supplement helps protect the digestive mucosa and contribute to the elimination of wellformed, low-odour stools.

Low Glycemic Index

The low starch content helps ensure stable blood glucose levels.

Low Allergen Formulation

The product is formulated without maize, wheat, gluten, soya, egg, beef or fish*.

Skin & Coat Support

The high level of animal protein, source of sulphurcontaining amino acids, and the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids contribute to the epidermal barrier function and improve the quality of sebaceous secretions to promote a healthy and shiny coat.

*May contain traces. Not suited for full hypoallergenic use.
