VETERINARY HPM^® EARLY KIDNEY & JOINT - DRY DIET

KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

High Protein

The high level of protein helps maintain muscle mass. 

Low Phosphorus

The phosphorus content is 25% lower in comparison with VETERINARY HPM Senior cat diet. The low phosphorus content helps protect the renal function.

Muscle Mass Maintenance

The appropriate level of protein helps promote muscle strength to support joints and mobility.

Body Condition Maintenance

The High Protein - Low Carbohydrate formulation helps maintain optimal body condition to limit mechanical impact on joints. 

High Omega-3 & DHA

Specific fat sources provide high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, that helps limit inflammatory and potentially painful processes in joints. 

Mobility Plus Complex

The association of Chondroitin Sulfate, Chitosan and Eggshell Membrane helps maintain the cartilage integrity. 

Palatability Plus Complex

The high level of ingredients from animal sources (52%) and the use of new specific ingredients guarantee high palatability for optimal compliance.

The daily ration is based on the cat’s current body weight, and should be adjusted every month. Always provide a generous supply of fresh drinking water.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Phosphorus Binding

The addition of Chitosan and Calcium Carbonate helps reduce the dietary phosphorus bioavailability. 

Suitable for Adult and Senior cats

The amounts of all essential nutrients fit the daily requirements of adult and senior cats. 

Increased Antioxidant Activity

The high level of vitamin E helps limit oxidative processes that could impair both joint metabolism and renal function. 

Protection of the Digestive Mucosa

Added Bentonite helps protect the digestive mucosa which can also be helpful alongside concurrent anti-inflammatory therapy. 

Urinary Safety

Adjusted RSS (Relative SuperSaturation) indexes for struvites and oxalates help maintain urinary health.
