Veterinary HPM Junior Dog Special Large is a complete diet for large breed puppies (adult weight >25kg), after the peak of growth, from 8 to 18 months of age.
VETERINARY HPM™ is a new generation of dog food designed to come as close as possible to the nutritional needs of carnivores. It is based on a formula low in carbohydrates and rich in animal protein. The result is nutrition that is perfectly adapted to your dog's needs.
Virbac Junior Dog Special Large contains 35% protein, 87% of which is of animal origin.
After the growth spurt, large breed puppies have less intense nutritional requirements. For this reason, their diet should be adapted to their new needs so as not to cause a predisposition to overweight and bone and joint problems.
Benefits
Prolonged growth (18 months). Large and giant breeds tend to have muscular and skeletal problems, so a food with an appropriate balance of energy, proteins and minerals is essential.
Moderate calorie intake. Low fat levels and high fibre content facilitate moderate energy intake.
Body weight control. Moderate energy intake and adapted portions help to ensure a healthy final growth period with less risk of overweight. The high protein and low carbohydrate intake helps to achieve optimal body condition.
Joint and muscle strengthening. The high protein level and chondroitin and chitosan supplementation helps to develop a strong and healthy musculoskeletal system.
Digestive tolerance. The low starch content helps to ensure that the feed is well tolerated by the animal's digestive system. The choice of prebiotics and probiotics regulate intestinal transit and contribute to a balanced intestinal flora.
VETERINARY HPM™
Thanks to its nutritional profile and precise selection of functional ingredients, VETERINARY HPM™ is more than just a dog food. It contains a wide variety of health benefits, allowing your dog to enjoy better protection of its physiological state and maintain overall good health.
