Dog Food For Adult Labrador Retrievers Over 15 Months of Age Initially bred for working in cold weather, the Labrador Retriever has developed exceptional qualities in both smell and vision from their hunting origins. One estimates their olfaction cells at 220 million, twice as much as certain other dog breeds.The special physiology of the Labrador Retriever, such as its unique coat and predisposition to excess weight make it a very unusual breed that needs special attention, especially in terms of its nutrition. MUSCLE TONING & WEIGHT CONTROL Reduce the Calories While Preserving the Muscle Tone of the Labrador Retriever Adult Labrador Retriever dogs are known for their natural tendency to put on weight. To prevent excess weight gain and return to an ideal weight, they need a low-calorie food that is still just as tasty. The food should be rich in proteins to enable the dog to lose weight while preserving muscle mass. The reduced fat content 13%) and high protein content (30%) help limit weight gain while maintaining muscle mass. L-Carnitine, an amino acid found in meat protein, may play an active role in the metabolization of fat reserves and may help to prevent additional weight gain. The high fiber content (oatmeal, rice and barley) helps fight against the intestinal laziness that frequently occurs in less active dogs and gives them a feeling of fullness. COAT HEALTH & CONDITION Provide for the Hair and Protect the Skin of the Labrador Retriever Adult Labrador Retriever dogs have a unique coat structure. They have strong, short but very dense hair that protects their body from cold and water. A specially formulated food may help to protect the natural qualities of your dog's coat. Borage Oil (from the borage herb) and Fish Oil, as sources of Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids are combined with Biotin (a B vitamin), Vitamin A and Zinc, to help maintain a shiny coat and skin in full health. JOINT MAINTENANCE Help Protect the Joints of the Labrador Retriever Adult The Labrador Retriever dog's heavy build combined with their active temperament puts their joints under stress day after day. A food rich in the antioxidant vitamins E and C associated with natural sources of Glucosamine and Chondroitin help protect the joints. 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.
