GLOBAL PREVENTIVE PROFILE

With adult dogs the challenge is to maintain optimum body weight and composition by means of a balanced diet and appropriate level of activity.

Optimal Body Weight

The optimised energy balance (Protein: Fat:Carbohydrate) and adapted feeding rations help maintain optimal body condition.

Optimal Muscle Mass

The high protein content promotes muscle mass maintenance.

Joint & Muscle Support

The high protein content and chondroitin and chitosan supplements help maintain a strong and healthy musculoskeletal system.

High Digestive Tolerence (3)

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 contribute to a balanced digestive flora. The bentonite supplement helps protect the digestive mucosa and contribute to the elimination of well-formed, low-odour stools.

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 sulphur-containing 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.

Urinary Health

The high level of animal protein stimulates water intake, increases the volume of urine and helps stabilise the pH, for a healthy urinary system.
