GLOBAL PREVENTIVE PROFILE

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

Optimal Body Weight

The optimised energy balance (Protein: Fat:Carbohydrate) helps maintain optimal body condition.

Oral & Dental Health

Ascophyllum nodosum, a natural brown
algae, is included to help manage dental
health. Ascophyllum nodosum has been
shown to limit plaque and tartar formation and
to reduce halitosis.

Urinary Health

The high level of animal protein stimulates water intake, increases the volume of urine and stabilises the urine pH.

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 contribute to a balanced digestive flora. The bentonite supplement helps protect the digestive mucosa and contributes 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 promote a healthy and shiny coat.

Low-allergen Formulation

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

Healthy Renal Function

The high levels of protein contribute to urinary urea concentrations which help to dilute the urine. The controlled phosphorus content helps maintain a healthy renal function.

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