Junior Dog Food - Special (Large Breeds)

For large breed young dogs (adult >25kg) from 8 to 18 months old.

LOW IN CARBOHYDRATE: 28%
HIGH IN PROTEIN: 35%

After the growth peak, young dogs from large breeds have less intense nutritional requirements. Their diet must take this into account, in order to avoid a predisposition to excess weight and joint issues. VETERINARY HPM^® responds to your large breed young dog’s specific needs.

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.

Maintaining Good Health

Thanks to its nutritional profile (low carbohydrate-high protein balance) and specially selected functional supplements, VETERINARY HPM^® is more than just a dog food. It has a wide spectrum of health benefits to support the long-term health and well-being of your dog, the highly evolved carnivore in your own home.

• Supports long growth (over 16 months)
• Moderates calorie level
• Body weight control
• Joint and muscle support
• High digestive tolerance
• Low-allergen formulation
• Skin and coat support

How do I switch from my current food to VETERINARY HPM^® ?

How much should I feed my pet?

VETERINARY HPM^® is very palatable, but we advise you respect the daily rations recommended. Feeding guidelines can be found on every bag, but your vet or vet nurse can provide you with a feeding guide tailored for your pet.

My pet is drinking more. Is this normal?

A dog should drink 50-70ml/kg of their bodyweight each day, whilst cats should consume 60ml/kg. Thanks to VETERINARY HPM’s higher amount of protein compared to other dry foods, your pet will naturally consume more water - that's a good thing!

Where is VETERINARY HPM^® produced?

VETERINARY HPM^® is produced in our own factory in France, specifically in Vauvert, since 1988. For over 30 years we continue to work hard to meet the very high expectations of pet owners for food quality, traceability and safety.
