Nutrition

Maintenance - The diet is complete which means it contains what your pet needs to maintain it's health. Some of the reasons owners prefer feeding relate to it being 'natural', coupled with perceived improvements in their dog's health.

Weight Management: With tailored protein level & controlled fat . The product is formulated with 20% less fat vs Mature Adult to help reduce fat accumulation The most common food intolerances appear to be colourings, sugars, wheat, milk and soya. Obviously, not all pets are sensitive to these things, but if the effects keep reoccurring, it’s best to consult a vet. How much should I feed my dog? Dogs with a healthy appetite, despite living an active and curious life, can be prone to gaining some additional weight. That's why our Purina Beta tailored nutrition Light food provides all the nutrition your dog needs. It is made with a lower level of fat to help your dog maintain an ideal body condition, so he is fit and ready to explore his world! It is also specially formulated with selected natural ingredients and a natural prebiotic to help support digestive health. And all this without including any added artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients. Ideal energy: Low fat diet without compromising the right nutrient absorption and delivery of good level of energyThe food is made into kibble (small biscuit peices) which, when the dog bites and chews it, helps to keep the teeth clean and remove tartar! The kibble in this food have shown to reduce tartar by 21% in 28 days.

Single feed: single feed products include, for example, pure meat tins. These animal foods can supplement the diet of your dog, but alone they are not enough to feed your four-legged friend in a balanced way. In the case of exclusive feeding, there is a risk of deficiencies. A complete feed for dogs can be made with the necessary expertise from several single feeds, supported by supplements as required.Some pets have specific nutritional needs based on clinically identified issues, and they should eat diets appropriate to their needs under veterinary supervision. Ideal Body Condition. Correct balance of protein and fat to support good body condition during weight management. Wind, bad breath, fur & teeth benefits?
