Combination of highly digestible proteins (L.I.P.** proteins), prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides & mannan-oligo-saccharides), sugar beet pulp, rice and fish oil to ensure maximum digestive security.
A low fat concentration improves digestive function in dogs with hyperlipidæmia or with acute pancreatitis.
Adjusted levels of soluble/insoluble fibres to help limit fermentations and promote good stools quality.
The synergistic antioxidant complex reduces oxidative stress and fights free radicals.
