GLOBAL PREVENTIVE PROFILE

At the start of growth and before the peak, puppies of large and medium-sized breeds have intense requirements to ensure healthy skeletal growth, especially in terms of energy, proteins and minerals. They have a delicate digestive system and an immature immune system.

1st Age Growth

The high energy density and high degree of digestibility of the food provide a concentrated diet which covers the requirements for intense growth in the 1st phase of growth.

High Energy Level

With its high fat content, the energy density of the diet is high, in order to meet the intense requirements for growth.

Joint & Bone Support

The high protein content and balanced calcium and phosphorous levels contribute to healthy skeletal growth.

Immune Support

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

High Digestive Tolerance (1)

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

Skin & Coat Support

The high level of animal proteins, source of sulphur-containing amino acids and the balance of omega-3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids contribute to the development of epidermal barrier function and the formation of the puppy’s coat.

Low-allergen Formulation

The product is formulated without maize, wheat, gluten, soya, egg, beef or fish*.

*May contain traces. Not suited for full hypoallergenic use.
