VETERINARY HPM® Joint & Mobility Dog

Weight Management

Clinical Indications*
• Support of the metabolism of joints in the case of osteoarthritis.

Available formats: 3kg, 12kg

 

OTHER USE

  • Joint disorders
  • Mobility improvement
  • Body weight management

CONTRAINDICATIONS

  • Growth
  • Gestation and lactation
  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

     

KEY BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Muscle Mass Preservation

The richness in protein helps promote strong muscles to support joints and mobility.

High Omega-3 and High EPA*

Specific fat sources provide high level of omega-3, especially EPA, and help limit the inflammatory and painful processes in joints.

Body Weight Control

Low energy density and adapted feeding rations (soft weight loss approach) help achieve and maintain ideal body weight to limit mechanical constraints on joints.

MOBILITY Plus Complex

The association of Chondroitin sulfate and Chitosan help to maintain the cartilage integrity (developed by Virbac).

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS

Addition of Antioxidant

Richness in vitamin E (570 mg/kg) helps limit oxidative processes.

Addition of Eggshell Membrane

Contains Eggshell Membrane, known for its proven efficacy to help cartilage recovery, reducing pain, and lameness whilst increasing joint flexibility and mobility in dogs in general.

Protection of Digestive Mucosa

Added sepiolite helps protect the mucosa in case of concurrent anti-inflammatory therapy.

High Digestive Tolerance

Addition of specific ingredients (clay, probiotics, prebiotics and selected fibres) helps maintain healthy digestive tract.

High Palatability

Richness in animal protein and fat guarantees high palatability for optimal compliance (efficacy proven by Virbac)(1)

Suitable for Junior, Adult and Senior dogs

The amounts of all essential nutrients and the energy density of the product fit the daily requirements of dogs from junior to senior ages.
