Product description
Premium special food for large & medium breed puppies, offers a wide range of health benefits, supports development during the growth phase, strengthens joints & the immune system
Healthy and in shape thanks to the right nutrient profile: dogs have been carnivores for 30,000 generations. Therefore, it is important to provide a suitable food that meets their natural nutritional needs. Virbac Veterinary HPM Dog, unlike most foods on the market, is composed of a high protein content (36%) and a particularly low carbohydrate content (22.5%). 91% of the high-quality proteins are of animal origin. They come from pork and chicken that have been declared suitable for human consumption and provide your dog's organism with a valuable amino acid profileVirbac Veterinary HPM Dog Baby Large & Medium has been specially developed for growing large breed dogs up to 7 months of age or medium breed dogs up to 6 months of age. During this phase there is a particularly high demand for energy, proteins and minerals to ensure healthy growth. In addition, your puppy's digestion is still very sensitive and the immune system is not yet fully developed. The formula of this special food meets these requirements and also provides a wide range of other health benefits with a variety of functional ingredients: It promotes the development of strong, elastic joints and can have a positive effect on the skin and coat as well as other bodily functions.
With Veterinary HPM you get an innovative special food from Laboratoires Virbac, a French company specialised in animal health since 1968. The unique product range ensures species-appropriate nutrition for your puppy and lays the foundation for a healthy start in life.
