The oxidative processes responsible for aging intensify in older dogs. Core functions must be preserved. Decreased activity levels cause a predisposition to muscle wasting and joint ankylosis. It was for these reasons that Virbac developed Veterinary HPM™ Senior Dog Small & Toy, to meet the specific needs of your senior dog.
