What's Inside? With a minimum of 37% chicken and 22% brown rice, CLINIVET Adult Large is the ideal food for all large breed dogs. As these dogs have a predisposition to gain weight as they age, CLINIVET Adult Large has been specially formulated with increased levels of L-carnitine to help mobilise fat reserves, maintain muscle mass and help support a strong and healthy heart. Large breeds of dogs are prone to problems with their joints, such as arthritis, in later life. CLINIVET Adult Large contains increased levels of glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and MSM to help support the joints and cartilage, and added calcium and phosphorus to help maintain strong bones. For Adult Large Breed dogs from maturity upwards.

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. 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. Anti-Cramping Muscles cramp when they contract (tighten) without you meaning to do so. This is more common when muscles are overused or injured, or when you have low levels of minerals and electrolytes in your body and can be very painful. Rich Protein Source A rich protein source which is easy to digest and provides all the essential amino acids our dogs need.
