What's Inside? It is essential to provide an easily digestible food during the early developmental stage. CLINIVET Puppy contains a minimum of 47% chicken and 24% brown rice making it highly digestible, and reducing the stool volume produced. It contains prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides) to help aid digestion, and is formulated without wheat gluten, soya, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. CLINIVET Puppy is the very best food to give your puppy the start it needs for a long and healthy life. CLINIVET Puppy food is rich in EFAs (essential fatty acids). The two main classes of EFAs are Omega 3 and Omega 6 EFAs. Omega 3 EFAs are important in brain function and are thought to play a pivotal role in puppy training and controlling behaviour. CLINIVET Puppy is enriched with prebiotics that promote the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria and limit the growth of less friendly bacteria. Prebiotic bacteria can also help absorb calcium and magnesium, both of which are necessary for the formation of strong bones. CLINIVET Puppy can be fed from weaning up to one year old, and is also suitable for pregnant or nursing bitches. Each Puppy Starter Pack contains a 1.5kg bag of CLINIVET Puppy food, a feeding bowl and measuring cup.

Health Benefits Natural Hypoallergenic Clinivet is formulated without wheat, beef, lamb and soya products. These ingredients are known to be common allergens, and can contribute to conditions such as digestive upsets, dry, flaky and itchy skin, and a dull coat. By excluding these products from the diet, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of these allergic reactions. Supported Growth Vitamins and minerals are essential to maintain health and growth and are involved in the metabolic reactions in the body. They are necessary for the development of strong bones and teeth, and in nerve and muscle action. Protects - Protected Immunity A strong immune system is vital in keeping the body strong and healthy. This important defence mechanism protects the body from unwanted pathogens, and cells from oxidative damage. Healthy Gut A healthy gut helps protect against indigestion and promote a healthy gut environment and can reduce the incidence of colitis and diarrhoea. The addition of fructo-oligosaccharides and mono-oligosaccharides to Clinivet boosts levels of friendly gut bacteria and limit the growth of less friendly bacteria. Healthy Skin A shiny coat and healthy skin are signs of a healthy body. A balanced Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio is thought to reduce the incidence of inflammatory responses, such as dry, itchy, flaky skin, arthritis, visual defects, cancer and infertility. Essential oils from fish and linseeds are excellent sources of these essential fatty acids and help support the coat and skin condition. Strong Bones The bones and joints of dogs are placed under extreme stress and strain after intense exercise. This can cause the cells in the bones to breakdown, the cartilage to thin, and fragments to break off causing pain and swelling in the joint. Glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin sulphate and Methyl-Sulphonyl-Methane (MSM) are natural sugars which help preserve the joint integrity, and help aid conditions such as arthritis, by reducing pain and inflammation in the joint. Cardio Care Taurine is thought to help protect against heart failure, and is essential for cardiovascular function, and the development of skeletal muscle and the central nervous system. Strong Muscles A diet with a high protein and high meat content helps to build strong muscles and encourage lean body growth. Especially suitable for very active dogs, who are getting plenty of exercise every day. Improves Fertility Naturally occurring antioxidants like selenium, tocopherols and lycopene's which aim to increase the efficacy of vaccinations, improves fertility and promote overall health and quality of life. Rich Protein Source A rich protein source which is easy to digest and provides all the essential amino acids our dogs need.
