Virbac Dog Adult Neutered Large & Medium 12 kg

HPM

Complete food for neutered/spayed or overweight-prone adult dogs over 12 months of age of medium breeds (11–25 kg) and over 18 months of age of large breeds (> 25 kg).

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 helps promote 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 the energy density of the food and limit calorie intake.

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 the dog’s 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.

Low glycaemic index
The food’s low starch content helps ensure stable blood glucose levels.

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 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.
