Dog Food For Adult German Shepherds Over 15 Months of Age Developed over a hundred years ago (1899), the German Shepherd breed is today the most widely represented breed in the world. Originally bred for their herding abilities, they are today mainly used for rescue and drug search in many countries all over the world. The special physiology of the German Shepherd, such as its sensitive skin and digestive system make it a very unusual breed that needs special attention, especially in terms of its nutrition. MAXIMUM DIGESTIVE SAFETY Provide for the Digestive Sensitivity of the German Shepherd Adult German Shepherd dogs have fragile digestive systems, which may lead to soft stool and mal-absorption of the nutrients contained in their food. A specific nutritional answer, rich in fermentable and non-fermentable fibers and low in starch, favors a well balanced intestinal flora, reducing the risks of digestive disorders. Rice as the main starch source has been combined with Chicken, Soy Isolate and Egg in an extremely highly digestible diet. In addition, Beet Pulp, a fiber source and Mannan Oligosaccharides, yeast extracts that favor balanced intestinal flora, may help to reduce the risks of diarrhea. IMMUNITY SUPPORT Complement the Fragile Immune System of the German Shepherd Adult The German Shepherd dog's activity level and sportive temperament put their immune system under stress day after day. They are sometimes known for a natural deficiency in antibodies (lgA) that increases health risks. Mannan Oligosaccharides (yeast extracts) may help to build the German Shepherd dog's natural defenses by increasing the quantity of antibodies and can help to promote the development of beneficial intestinal flora. High concentration of antioxidant vitamins E and C, lutein, taurine and trace elements such as zinc and selenium, help delay the effects of accelerated cell decay. While supplementation with natural sources of Glucosamine and Chondroitin helps to protect the joints. SKIN CONDITION Help Protect the Sensitive Skin of the German Shepherd Adult German Shepherd dogs have very sensitive skin. A diet deficient in essential nutrients can have an immediate and visible effect on them. Soya Oil and Fish Oil as sources of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids are combined with Zinc, chelated for easier absorption, and vitamins A and C for healthy, supple skin and a shiny coat. ACTI-DIGEST SUPPORTS OPTIMAL DIGESTIVE SAFETY Limits fermentation in the colon: ingredients are very finely ground to significantly improve digestibility of the food and to reduce the quantity of fermentable residues in the colon. Protects the intestinal mucosae by supplying insoluble minerals. Improves the consistency of the stools by incorporating the ideal ratio of fermentable to non-fermentable fibers. GERMAN SHEPHERD: A DIFFERENT SKIN Ph Within the canine species, skin Ph varies according to breeds. German Shepherd dogs have a much more alkaline Ph than other large breed dogs. Research has shown that an alkaline skin is more prone to bacteria development than an acid one. GERMAN SHEPHERD 24™ helps reinforce the skin structure.
