GLOBAL PREVENTIVE PROFILE

Once growth has peaked, nutritional requirements change, which must be reflected in their diet in order to prevent risks of weight gain and joint issues.

2nd Age Growth

The diet is formulated to meet requirements in the end of growth period, after the peak. The high protein content ensures muscle mass development.

High Energy Level

The energy density, which is high but not excessive, meets the requirements of the end of growth period, by helping prevent excessive weight gain and osteoarticular troubles.

Joint & Muscle Support

The high protein content contributes to healthy development of the musculo-skeletal system.

High Digestive Tolerance(1)

The low starch content helps to ensure good digestive tolerance. The combination of soluble fibres (prebiotic), Lactobacilli (probiotic) and bentonite contribute to the healthy development of digestive flora and helps protect the digestive 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 coat.

Low-allergen Formulation

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

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.

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