Helps maintain ideal weight
The food provides a balanced supply of energy from different sources (protein, fat, carbohydrates), and appropriately adjusted feeding portions help maintain ideal weight.

Maintains muscle mass
The food contains a high level of protein, which helps preserve muscle mass.

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

Supports digestion
The low starch content supports digestive function. Added soluble and insoluble dietary fibres (prebiotics) and Lactobacillus lactic acid bacteria (probiotics) regulate intestinal transit and support the balance of the gut microbiota. In addition, bentonite helps protect the gastrointestinal mucosa and normalises stool odour and consistency.

Hypoallergenic composition
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 a balanced amount 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, shiny coat.

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