GLOBAL PREVENTIVE PROFILE

Kittens have strict requirements for healthy growth, especially in terms of energy, proteins and minerals. They have a delicate digestive system and an immature immune system.

Growth before Neutering

The high energy density and high degree of digestibility of the food provide a concentrated diet which covers the requirements for intense and rapid growth. The high protein content, with balanced calcium and phosphorous levels, ensures healthy growth.

High Energy Level

A high fat content helps to reach a high energy density.

Immune Support

The beta-glucan supplement (brewer’s yeast cell-wall extract) helps to promote the development of a kitten’s own defence system, improves vaccine response and increases the level of resistance to disease.

High digestive tolerance

The very low starch content allows for the immature digestive amylase activity. Lactobacilli (probiotic) stimulate the growth of a protective acidogenic flora. They contribute to strong local immunity. The bentonite protects the digestive muscosa, helps limit inflammatory and infectious process and ensures normal stool odour and consistency. Soluble fibres (prebiotics) contribute to the normal growth of digestive flora and to the integrity of the colonic mucosa.

Urinary Health

The high level of animal protein helps stabilise the urine pH.

Skin & Coat Support

The high levels of proteins and the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids contribute to the development of epidermal barrier functions and the formation of the kitten’s coat.

Dental Tartar Control

The pentasodium triphosphate supplement helps to limit dental plaque and tartar formation and contributes to good oral and dental health from a very early age.
