Virbac Dog Baby Small & Toy 3 kg

HPM

Complete food for small-breed puppies (adult weight < 10 kg) up to 10 months of age. Complete food for pregnant and lactating females of small breeds.

Small-breed puppies require high levels of energy, protein, and minerals in order to grow sufficiently within a short period of time. Their diet must also take into account their sensitive digestion and developing immune system.

Designed for rapid growth (10 months)
This easily digestible food contains everything a growing puppy needs: high energy and protein, along with the necessary amounts of calcium and phosphorus.

High energy
The food contains a high level of fat to ensure puppies receive enough energy for growth.

Supports the immune system
Added beta-glucan (an extract from brewer’s yeast cell walls) helps support the development of the immune system and improves puppies’ vaccine response and resistance.

Supports digestion
The food’s low starch content is designed with the puppy’s developing amylase activity in mind. In addition, probiotic lactic acid bacteria promote the growth of a protective, acid-producing microbiota, which helps build strong local immunity. Bentonite protects the gastrointestinal mucosa, reduces inflammation and infections, and normalises stool odour and consistency. Soluble fibres (prebiotics) promote the growth of beneficial gut microbiota and support the colon mucosa.

Tartar control
Added pentasodium triphosphate helps reduce tartar formation and supports oral and dental health from an early age.

Strengthens skin and coat
The food contains a high proportion of animal protein, an important source of sulphur-containing amino acids, as well as balanced levels of essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These nutrients support the formation of the skin’s protective barrier and the growth of the puppy’s coat.

Hypoallergenic composition
The food does not contain corn, wheat, gluten, soy, egg, beef, or fish*.
