GLOBAL PREVENTIVE PROFILE

The oxidative processes responsible for ageing intensify in older dogs, affecting many systems. Decreased activity levels cause a predisposition to muscle wastage and joint issues.

Body Weight Control

The appropriate energy density helps to limit the risk of excess weight gain due to decreased activity.

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.

Maintains Renal Function

The reduced phosphorous content and its digestive chelation by chitosan assist in maintaining a healthy renal function.

Urinary Health

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

Joint & Muscle Support

The high level of protein helps maintain muscle mass. The chondroitin and chitosan supplements help maintain joint elasticity.

Immune Support

The levels of proteins and vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, help maintain a strong immune system.

Skin & Coat Support

The animal proteins with high level of sulphur-containing amino acids and the balance of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids help to ensure skin and coat renewal and maintain the epidermal barrier function.

High Digestive Tolerance

The low starch content helps to ensure good digestive tolerance. The choice of soluble and insoluble dietary fibres (prebiotic) and the lactobacillus supplement (probiotic) promote intestinal transit and help ensure a balanced digestive flora. The bentonite supplement helps protect the digestive mucosa and contributes 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*.

Low Glycaemic Index

The low starch content helps ensure stable blood glucose levels.

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