Product description
Virbac Veterinary HPM Dog Senior Large & Medium has been specially developed for medium breed dogs from the age of 8 years or for large breed dogs from the age of 6 years. Older animals often suffer from loss of muscle mass and joint stiffness. In addition, cell ageing progresses more intensively and the main functions of the body need more protection. A variety of functional ingredients counteract these specific ageing risks and provide a wide range of other health benefits: They support mobility, strong muscles and can have a positive effect on skin and coat, the immune system and other bodily functions.
With Veterinary HPM you get an innovative special food from Laboratoires Virbac, a French company specialised in animal health since 1968. The unique product range ensures species-appropriate nutrition for your large or medium-sized dog and lays the foundation for a healthy and active life in advanced age.
