For puppies up to 12 months
Puppies grow rapidly and require a different diet to adult and mature dogs. A diet that is high in energy and nutrients that supports rapid growth is essential.
OPTIMUM® Puppy is formulated with higher levels of protein for muscle development and calcium for strong teeth and bones.
OPTIMUM® Puppy also contains colostrum (in dry product) to help strengthen the gastrointestinal health during the critical growth stages of the first 12 months. It is highly digestible for even the smallest, sensitive stomachs.
BENEFITS:
* COLOSTRUM – OPTIMUM® Puppy contains colostrum to provide a high quality source of nutrients to encourage optimal gastrointestinal health.
* SMART PUPPY – BRAIN AND VISION DEVELOPMENT – OPTIMUM® Puppy contains enhanced levels of DHA to help support brain and vision development. Scientific studies have found that optimised levels of DHA can assist your puppy in reaching it’s full potential..
* IMMUNITY – OPTIMUM® Puppy contains a unique blend of antioxidants including vitamin E & C. This blend has been shown to help strengthen the immune system, and keep your puppy healthy by helping to reduce the oxidative stress on your puppy’s cells.
* HEALTHY DIGESTION – The inclusion of a natural prebiotic, inulin selectively promotes healthy bacteria in the gut resulting in fewer and firmer stools. Additionally, beet pulp helps to control intestinal transit and to maximise nutrient absorption.
* DENTAL DEFENCE SYSTEM – Specifically designed dental system that has been proven to help reduce plaque buildup and to help protect teeth and gums. The active ingredient sodium tripolyphosphate, promotes good oral hygiene for your puppy.
