Virbac Dog Adult Neutered Small & Toy 3 kg

HPM

Complete food for neutered/spayed or overweight-prone small-breed adult dogs (< 10 kg) from 10 months of age.

Neutered and spayed dogs often have an increased appetite, which makes them more prone to weight gain.

Weight management
The food’s moderate energy density and appropriately adjusted feeding portions help prevent post-neutering weight gain. It is low in carbohydrates and high in protein, which supports the maintenance of ideal body weight. The high fibre content promotes satiety, while added L-carnitine supports fat metabolism and limits fat tissue accumulation.

Moderate calorie content
The food contains less fat and more fibre, which helps reduce energy density and limit calorie intake.

Tartar control
Added pentasodium triphosphate helps reduce tartar formation and supports oral and dental health.

Urinary tract health
The high level of animal protein helps increase water intake and urine volume while stabilising urinary pH, thereby supporting urinary tract health.

Low glycaemic index
The low starch content helps maintain stable blood glucose levels.

Supports digestion
The food’s low starch content supports digestive function. Added soluble and insoluble dietary fibres (prebiotics) and Lactobacillus lactic acid bacteria (probiotics) regulate nutrient transit through the intestines and help maintain a balanced gut microbiota. In addition, bentonite helps protect the gastrointestinal mucosa and normalises stool odour and consistency.

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