VIRBAC Veterinary HPM SENIOR Neutered Small & Toy Dry food for small neutered dogs

Complete food for spayed (or overweight) dogs:

- Small breeds (<10kg) from 10 years old
- Miniature breeds (<5kg) from 12 years old

The oxidative processes responsible for aging intensify in older dogs. Core functions must be preserved. Sterilization favors excess weight and the decrease in activity levels causes a predisposition to muscle wasting and joint ankylosis. It is for this reason that Virbac has developed VETERINARY HPM™ Senior Neutered Dog Small & Toy, to meet the specific needs of your sterilized senior dog.

BODY WEIGHT CONTROL
Helps satisfy your neutered dog's appetite. It helps to maintain an optimal weight, preserve muscle mass and limit the deposit of adipose tissue.

TARTARUS CONTROL
It helps to limit the formation of dental plaque and tartar and contributes to good oral and dental health.

LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX
It helps to maintain the balance of blood glucose levels.

URINARY HEALTH
The high level of animal protein encourages water intake, increases the volume of urine and helps to stabilize your pH for a healthy urinary system.

MAINTENANCE OF KIDNEY FUNCTION
The reduced phosphorus content and the chelating action of chitosan favor the maintenance of renal function.

JOINT AND MUSCLE SUPPORT
Helps maintain joint elasticity and strength and maintain muscle mass.

IMMUNE SUPPORT
The proper level of protein and vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, helps to strengthen the immune system.

SKIN AND COAT SUPPORT
Helps promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.

HIGH DIGESTIVE TOLERANCE
It helps to ensure a balanced and healthy digestive flora. Helps in the formation of patterned and low-odor stools.
