Maintaining healthy joint cartilage and optimal digestive function are top concerns for maturing large breed dogs. A diet with lucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and an optimal amino-acid profile will help maintain large breed mature dogs' health and vitality. It is important that their diet be fortified with fructo-oligosaccharides (chicory extracts) to help maintain optimal digestive function resulting in small, firm stools.
ANTIOXIDANT VITAMINS E & C
Anticipate the Effects of Time for the Overweight Large Breed Adult Dog
When they are in good health, large breed dogs have a longer life expectancy (average of 8 years), which means additional exposure to the effects of aging. Beginning in adulthood, it is important to provide a diet that may help to combat the effects of time - such as changes in kidney and heart function.
Antioxidant vitamins C and E, may both help to fight free radicals. Reduced phosphorus and sodium contents may help to combat kidney and heart disease. In addition, natural extracts from seafood and cartilage are included to help protect the joints.
DIGESTIVE SAFETY
Provide for Good Digestion in the Older, Large Breed Dog
The alimentary tract can be affected by age, increasing the frequency of digestive disorders. A diet enriched with a balance of digestible and non-digestible fibers can help to fight against the intestinal laziness that may occur in elderly large breed dogs.
Rice, Barley and Oatmeal provide a unique combination of fibers intended to help regulate intestinal transit. Fructo-oligosaccharides (Chicory Extracts) are a non-digestible carbohydrate that favors balanced intestinal flora and may help to combat age-related digestive disorders.
JOINT MAINTENANCE
Help Protect the Joints of the Large Breed Dog
The large dog body weight combined with an active temperament puts their joints under stress day after day.
A food rich in the antioxidant vitamins E and C associated with natural sources of Glucosamine and Chondroitin helps protect the joints.
