Why choose Senior Small breed?
- It is rich in Omega-3 from fish for healthy coat skin and joint.
- It helps to maintain the ideal bodyweight. With lower calories and higher fibre this is a less energy dense food. This means they can eat their usual amount, so not feel hungry, whilst controlling weight. It also contains L carnitine – a fat burning amino acid.
- The use of highly digestible proteins such as fish allows them to digest the food even with the less efficient digestive systems of older dogs.
- Beet pulp as a source of fermentable fibres to support beneficial microflora and intestinal health
- Reduced protein, phosphorous and sodium to lower workload on the kidneys..
- Added Taurine and L-Carnitine supports the heart muscle function.
