VETERINARY HPM® Dermatology Support Dog

Dermatosis and hair loss

Clinical Indications*
•Support of the skin function in the case of dermatosis and excessive loss of hair.

 

Available formats: 3 kg, 7 kg, 12 kg


OTHER USE

  • Inflammatory skin conditions, dermatitis, atopic dermatitis
  • Pruritus

 

CONTRADICTIONS

  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Improves Coat Condition

High linoleic acid (LA) content helps reduce scale production and regulate sebaceous secretion for a shiny coat (efficacy proven by Virbac)(1)

High Protein & Sulphur Amino Acids

Richness in animal protein answers the high requirements to restore skin integrity with proper skin healing and hair regrowth.

DERMA Plus Complex

Concentration and balance of omega-6 and omega-3 (by fish and sunflower oils, linseed, borage seeds), plus synergistic co-factors vitamins A and E, help improve clinical signs of dermatosis and dermatitis (efficacy proven by Virbac)(1)

High Level of Essential Fatty Acids*

High supplementation with both omega-6 and omega-3 helps decrease inflammatory processes(2).

Support Skin Barrier Effect

Richness in animal protein and essential fatty acids help reinforce natural skin defences, key factor in management of dermatosis and dermatitis in the long term.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS 

Modulates Inflammation

Balanced 6:3 ratio helps reduce clinical signs related to inflammation (redness, itching).

High Digestibility and Digestive Tolerance

Addition of clay, prebiotics, probiotics and fibres helps maintain a healthy digestive tract to optimise the absorption of all the essential nutrients for skin and coat.

Withdrawal of major allergens

The diet is made without beef, gluten, maize, wheat, soya, egg, and fish.

Immune Support

High protein content and added vitamin E help maintain a healthy immune system.

Suitable for Adult and Senior dogs

The amounts of all essential nutrients fit the daily requirement of all dogs at all stages or physiological status (puppies, adult dogs, gestating or lactating bitches, and senior dogs).
