Virbac HPM Dog J1 Joint & Mobility - for dogs with joint problems: Supports joints and mobility / Weight management.

Key benefits and characteristics

• Maintenance of muscle mass – High protein content helps build and maintain strong muscles for better joint support and mobility.
• High omega-3 and EPA content * – Contains selected fat sources with high levels of omega-3, especially EPA, which helps reduce inflammation and pain in the joints.
• Body weight control – Low energy density and adapted feed rations support weight management and reduce stress on joints.
• Mobility Plus Complex – The combination of chondroitin sulfate and chitosan helps maintain cartilage and support joint health (developed by Virbac).

Additional benefits

• Addition of antioxidants – High vitamin E content (570 mg/kg) helps reduce oxidative stress in the body.
• Addition of eggshell membrane – Eggshell membrane has a documented effect on cartilage regeneration, reducing pain and increasing joint flexibility.
• Protection of the digestive tract – Bentonite helps protect the mucous membrane during the use of anti-inflammatory medications.
• High digestive tolerance – Contains specific ingredients such as clay, prebiotics, probiotics and selected fibers for healthy digestion.
• High palatability – Rich in animal protein and fat for good taste and high acceptance in dogs (documented by Virbac).
• Suitable for adult and senior dogs – Covers all essential nutritional needs for adult and senior dogs.

Nutrition for carnivores

• Naturally adapted to the dog's needs – Dogs are natural carnivores, whether healthy or sick.
