    *The fractioning of the daily amount over two or three meals is recommended to favor good digestion.

    Key Points

    • High energy density to favor the amelioration of the body condition and of palatability
    • Maintaining a high protein-calorie ratio despite the high fat content to combat muscle atrophy
    • Highly digestible ingredients to maximize the nutritional benefit for the dog
