Oxidative processes responsible for aging are intensified in older dogs. the main functions must be protected. Sterilization promotes weight gain and decreased levels of activity cause a predisposition to loss of muscle and joint ankylosis.

1 Control Body Weight
The energy density of the diet controlled and appropriate food rations help prevent overweight that could occur as a result of sterilization and decreased activity. The supplement of L-carnitine facilitates the production of energy from lipids, thus limiting fat deposition.

2 Moderate Calorie
Low levels of fat and increased amount of fiber help reduce the energy content of the diet, limiting calorie intake.

3 Preserving Muscle Mass
The protein remained level helps maintain muscle mass.

4 Support joint and muscle
The appropriate level of protein helps maintain muscle mass. Chondroitin supplements and chitosan help keep joints strong and resilient.

5 High Tolerance Digestiva
The low starch content ensures good digestive tolerance. The choice of insoluble and soluble dietary fiber (prebiotic) and lactobacillus supplement (probiotics) help the intestinal transit and to ensure a balanced intestinal flora.

6 Low Glycemic Index
Reduced starch content helps ensure a stable glycemia.

7 Immunocarrier
The appropriate level of protein and vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, helps maintain a strong immune system.

8 Maintains Renal Function
The reduced phosphorus content and intestinal chelating action of chitosan help maintain healthy kidney function.

9 Little Allergenic Formula
It does not contain corn, wheat, gluten, soy, eggs, beef or fish *.

10 Support Skin and Hair
high levels of animal protein, a source of sulfur amino acids, and the balance of essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 help ensure the renewal of the skin and hair and to maintain the function of the epidermal barrier.

* May contain traces. Not suitable for use completely hypoallergenic.
