Purpose

Virbac HPM Senior Neutered Large & Medium dry food for neutered/spayed or overweight-prone dogs over 8 years old of medium size (11-25 kg) and over 6 years old of large size (over 25 kg).

As dogs age, their bodily functions change, so it is important to support the vital functions of senior dogs in a timely manner. Neutered and spayed dogs also tend to gain weight easily, and decreased activity levels can predispose the dog to muscle loss and joint stiffness.

Weight Management
The food’s moderate energy density and portion sizes designed for your dog’s needs help prevent weight gain caused by neutering/spaying and reduced activity levels. The food contains low carbohydrates and high crude protein, which helps maintain ideal weight. The high fiber content aids in achieving a feeling of fullness. Added L-carnitine promotes fat metabolism and limits fat tissue formation.

Moderate Calorie Content
The food contains less fat and more fiber, helping to keep the energy density and calorie amount moderate.

Maintains Muscle Mass
The high crude protein content supports the maintenance of muscle mass.

Supports Joints and Muscles
The high crude protein content supports muscle maintenance, and added chondroitin and chitosan help maintain joint flexibility.

Supports Digestion
The food’s low starch content supports your dog’s digestion. Added soluble and insoluble dietary fibers (prebiotics) and lactobacillus lactic acid bacteria (probiotics) support nutrient transit in the intestines and maintain the gut microbiota. Additionally, bentonite protects the digestive tract lining and normalizes stool odor and consistency.

Helps Maintain Stable Blood Sugar Levels
The low starch content helps ensure stable blood sugar levels.

Supports the Immune System
The food contains crude protein that strengthens the immune system and vitamin E, a natural antioxidant.

Supports Kidney Function
The food’s low phosphorus content and phosphorus-binding chitosan support kidney function.

Does Not Contain Common Allergenic Ingredients
The food does not contain corn, wheat, gluten, soy, eggs, beef, or fish.

Strengthens Skin and Coat
The food contains a high amount of animal-derived crude protein, which is an important source of sulfur-containing amino acids, as well as essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These nutrients support skin and coat condition and the formation of the skin’s protective barrier.
