Product description

Therefore, it is important to provide a suitable food that meets their natural nutritional needs. Virbac Veterinary HPM Cat, unlike most foods on the market, is composed of a very high level of protein (45%) and a particularly low level of carbohydrates (18.5%). At the same time, 93% of the high-quality proteins are of animal origin. They come from pork and chicken meat declared suitable for human consumption and provide your growing kitten's organism with a valuable amino acid profileVirbac Veterinary HPM Cat Baby Pre-Neutered is specially formulated for kittens from weaning to 12 months of age who have not yet been sterilised. They need an extra portion of energy for healthy growth, have a sensitive digestive system and an immune system that is not yet fully developed. A variety of functional ingredients take these special requirements into account and provide a wide range of health benefits: They not only support healthy development and strengthen the immune system, but can also have a positive effect on skin and coat, digestion and other bodily functions.
