Neutered Dog
INDICATION
Complete diet for neutered adult dogs (or those with a tendency to be overweight):
• Small breeds (<10kg), over 10 months old.
Available sizes: 1.5 kg, 3 kg, 7 kg
Neutered dogs are predisposed to being overweight, and often exhibit an increased appetite.
Body Weight Control
The controlled energy density of the diet and appropriate food rations help prevent the excess weight which might result from neutering. The HP-LC formulation helps maintain optimal body condition. The increased fibre content helps achieve satiety. The L-carnitine supplement helps fat metabolism and limits fatty tissue deposit.
Moderate Calorie Level
The reduced level of fat and increased level of fibre help to reduce the energy content of the diet, thus limiting calorie intake.
Dental Tartar Control
The pentasodium triphosphate supplement helps to limit tartar formation and to ensure good oral and dental health.
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.
Low Glycaemic Index
The low starch content helps ensure stable blood glucose levels.
High Digestive Tolerance (1)
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 help ensure a balanced digestive flora. The bentonite supplement helps protect the digestive mucosa and contribute to the elimination of well-formed, low-odour stools.
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 contribute to a healthy and shiny coat.
