MAIN BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Low energy content*
The food’s low energy density is designed for gradual weight loss (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac)(1).

Moderately restricted feeding
The composition and feeding recommendations are designed for slow and steady weight loss (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac)(1).

Improves lean mass to fat mass ratio
The food is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, which helps maintain lean body mass during weight loss and supports body composition after weight reduction (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac)(2).

High palatability
The food contains a high proportion of animal protein and fat, helping to ensure palatability (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac)(1).

Low glycaemic index and total sugars
The food is rich in protein and low in carbohydrates, starch, and sugars. This composition reduces postprandial glucose and insulin release into the bloodstream and supports the management of diabetes or insulin resistance (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac)(2).

OTHER BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Fat burning
Added L-carnitine helps promote fat metabolism and supports the maintenance of lean body mass during weight loss.

Supports joints
Added chondroitin sulphate and chitosan support joint health and help improve mobility and quality of life.

High fibre content
Dietary fibres promote satiety and help regulate starch digestion and absorption.

Supports coat condition
The food contains a rich and balanced level of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to support coat quality.

Suitable for adult and senior dogs
The food provides all the essential nutrients required daily by adult and senior dogs.
