PROPERTIES AND RATIONALE FOR THE COMPOSITION<br />
Kidney<br />
support<br />
The moderately reduced content of protein, phosphorus and sodium reduces the workload of the kidneys and<br />
supports renal function in senior dogs. The high biological value of the proteins supplies a sufficient amount of<br />
essential amino acids to the dog.<br />
Joint, skin<br />
& coat<br />
support<br />
EPA and DHA are both omega-3 fatty acids with a beneficial effect on the maintenance of healthy skin and coat and<br />
healthy articular cartilage and normal mobility in joints of senior dogs.<br />
Moderate<br />
energy,<br />
balanced<br />
nutrients<br />
The <strong>com</strong>plete, balanced diet has an increased content of fibre, which results in a slightly lower energy content.<br />
This supports maintenance of ideal body weight in senior dogs with a reduced energy requirement.<br />
Taurine<br />
Taurine is an important nutrient necessary for many aspects of metabolism. Taurine is required for normal function of<br />
the myocardium and supports the heart muscle function in senior dogs.<br />
Immune<br />
support<br />
Contains ß-1,3/1,6-glucans from yeast, which can bind to receptors of white blood cells, thereby alerting the<br />
immune system and supporting the immune response.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION<br />
£ £ EPA and DHA from fish can help support the renal function in senior<br />
dogs.<br />
£ £ The diet contains mannan-oligo-saccharides (MOS). MOS can<br />
bind pathogenic bacteria, thereby preventing contact between the<br />
bacteria and mucosa in the gastrointestinal tract. This helps support<br />
the gastrointestinal health in the senior dog.<br />
£ £ The increased fibre content supports healthy bowel movements.<br />
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR<br />
£ £ Puppies and pregnant or lactating bitches<br />
