Benefits
- Kidney Support – The moderately reduced content of protein, phosphorus and sodium reduces the workload of the kidneys and supports renal function in senior dogs. The high biological value of the proteins supplies a sufficient amount of essential amino acids to the dog
- Joint, skin & coat support – EPA and DHA are both omega-3 fatty acids with a beneficial effect on the maintenance of healthy skin and coat and healthy articular cartilage and normal mobility in joints of senior dogs
- Moderate energy, balanced nutrients – The complete, balanced diet has an increased content of fibre which results in a slightly lower energy content. This supports maintenance of ideal body weight in senior dogs with a reduced energy requirement
- Taurine – Taurine is an important nutrient necessary for many aspects of metabolism. Taurine is required for normal function of the myocardium and supports the heart muscle function in senior dogs
- Immune support – Contains ß-1,3/1,6-glucans from yeast which can bind to receptors of white blood cells, thereby alerting the immune system and supporting the immune response
