MAIN BENEFITS AND CHARACTERISTICS
Maintains muscle mass
The food’s high protein content supports muscle and joint health and helps maintain mobility.
Rich in omega-3 and EPA fatty acids*
Carefully selected fat sources provide high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA, which help limit joint inflammation and pain.
Weight management
Low energy content and controlled feeding (for gradual weight loss) promote achieving and maintaining an ideal body weight, reducing mechanical stress on the joints.
Mobility Plus Complex
A combination of chondroitin sulfate and chitosan developed by Virbac helps maintain cartilage integrity.
OTHER BENEFITS AND CHARACTERISTICS
Added eggshell membrane (1)
Contains eggshell membrane, proven to support cartilage recovery, reduce pain and lameness, and improve joint flexibility and mobility in dogs.
Contains antioxidant
High vitamin E content (570 mg/kg) helps limit oxidative processes.
Protects the gastrointestinal mucosa
Added bentonite helps protect the intestinal lining from the effects of concurrent anti-inflammatory treatments.
Supports digestion
Added functional ingredients (clay, probiotics, prebiotics, and selected fibers) support digestive health.
Highly palatable
Rich in animal protein and fat to ensure excellent palatability (efficacy demonstrated by Virbac)(1).
Suitable for growing, adult, and senior dogs
The food’s essential nutrients and high energy density make it suitable for all life stages – from puppies to seniors.
