Virbac Dog Adult Large & Medium 7 kg

HPM

Dry food for adult, non-neutered medium breed dogs (11–25 kg) from 12 months of age, and large breed dogs (over 25 kg) from 18 months of age.

This dry food meets the nutritional requirements of adult, intact dogs. It is formulated to provide an ideal balance of energy from proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Adult dogs need a balanced diet and sufficient exercise to stay in good condition and prevent excess weight gain.

Virbac HPM dog and cat foods are available through veterinarians and pharmacies.

Maintains ideal weight
The food provides a carefully balanced amount of energy from different sources (protein, fat, carbohydrates), and portion sizes designed for your dog’s needs make it easier to maintain an ideal body weight.

Maintains muscle mass
The food contains plenty of protein, which helps preserve muscle mass.

Supports joints and muscles
The high protein content, combined with added chondroitin and chitosan, helps maintain the health of the musculoskeletal system.

Supports digestion
Fructo-oligosaccharides (prebiotics) and lactobacilli (postbiotics) promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and help maintain a balanced intestinal microbiota. Psyllium fibre regulates bowel function and supports the formation of firm stools. Bentonite protects the intestinal mucosa and helps maintain normal stool odour and consistency.

Free from common allergens
The food does not contain corn, wheat, gluten, soy, egg, beef, or fish.

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

Urinary tract health
The high animal protein content helps increase water intake and urine volume while maintaining a balanced urine pH.
