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 portion sizes tailored to your dog’s needs help prevent post-neutering or post-sterilisation weight gain. It is low in carbohydrates and high in protein, helping to maintain an ideal body weight. The high fibre content promotes satiety, while added L-carnitine supports fat metabolism and helps reduce fat accumulation.

Moderate calorie content
The food contains less fat and more fibre, helping to limit its energy density and 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 digestive function. Added soluble and insoluble dietary fibres (prebiotics) and Lactobacillus lactic acid bacteria (probiotics) promote nutrient absorption and maintain a healthy gut microbiota. In addition, bentonite protects the intestinal mucosa and helps normalise stool odour and consistency.

Keeps blood sugar levels stable
The food’s low starch content helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.

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.
