VIRBAC Veterinary HPM SENIOR DOG Neutered Large & Medium Dry food for sterilized or overweight dogs - 12 Kg Bag
Complete food for spayed (or overweight) dogs:
- Large breeds (>25kg) from 6 years old
- Medium breeds (11-25kg) from 8 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 Large & Medium, to meet the specific needs of your sterilized senior dog.
