Puppy Food Large & Medium

At the start of growth, puppies of large and medium breeds have intense nutritional requirements to ensure healthy bone growth, particularly for energy, proteins and minerals. They have a delicate digestive system and an immature immune system. VETERINARY HPM^® responds to your medium or large breed puppy’s specific needs.

For medium breed puppies (adult weight 10-25kg), up to 6 months old.
For large breed puppies (adult weight >25kg), up to 7 months old.

Nutrition for Carnivores

VETERINARY HPM^® is a new generation of dog food designed to be closer to the nutritional needs of carnivores. This new and unique range is based on a low carbohydrate-high protein formula. So it is much lower in starch and carbohydrates, and much higher in animal protein. The result is nutrition that is perfectly adapted to your dog’s needs.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS?

Skin & coat support

Body weight control

High digestive tolerance

Tartar control

Urinary health

Renal function

Low-allergen formulation

Joint and muscle support

Low glycaemic index

Immune support

Skin & coat support

Protein content plays an important role as it is an essential component of the skin and hair. The hair is made up of 95% protein, of which almost one third is used for skin renewal and hair growth.

Body weight control

By promoting satiety and lean body mass development (including muscle) rather than fat, protein helps dogs and cats maintain a healthy weight. Fibre is also added as well as L-carnitine to help limit fat storage.

High digestive tolerance

A food that is too rich in carbohydrates can be poorly tolerated and cause loose stools and unpleasant odours.
Low carbohydrate levels, highly digestible proteins and the addition of functional ingredients (lactobacilli, bentonite, etc.) help to maintain good digestive tolerance.

Tartar control

Pentasodium triphosphate supplementation limits tartar formation and contributes to good oral health.

Urinary health

By stimulating drinking and optimising urinary pH, protein helps to maintain good urinary health.
A functional ingredient, cynarin, is also added to help with urine concentration.

Renal function

Reduced phosphorus intake and phosphate binder chitosan helps maintain healthy kidney function.

Low-allergen formulation

To reduce the risk of food intolerance or allergy, our food does not contain dairy, egg, wheat, corn, gluten or soy.

Joint and muscle support

High protein content and chondroitin and chitosan supplementation contribute to maintaining a healthy muscula-skeletal system.

Low glycaemic index

A diet rich in protein and low in carbohydrate will help to stabilise blood sugar and insulin levels and ultimately help to improve insulin sensitivity.

Immune support

The protein content and vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, help maintain a strong immune system.
