Product Description

Joint Disorders

Nearly half of all dogs will eventually suffer from osteoarthritis, one of the most common joint diseases. Joint problems arise when the quality of the cartilage deteriorates. Cartilage is protective layer between joints, which absorbs shock. The deterioration of cartilage is usually the result of normal wear and tear with age.

Old age

Joint problems occur more frequently in old age. Older dogs are usually less active, and heavier. Obesity increases the likelihood of joint problems. Dogs with a history of aching joints tend to suffer more as their weight increases.

Key features of Eukanuba Joint Mobility – Veterinary Diets

A balanced diet contributes greatly to the health of joints. Eukanuba Joint Mobility – Veterinary Diets has been developed specifically for dogs with joint problems, and contributes to their overall health. The diet also prevents age-related risk factors such as obesity, due to the lower fat content in the food.

Decreased calorie content and extra L-carnitine ensure optimal body weight, reducing strain on joints
A balanced ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids control inflammation at the cellular level

The right amount of high-quality animal protein helps support muscles and vital organs in older dogs
Nutrients that promote the dog’s overall health and wellbeing:
1. Beet pulp, a fermentable fibre that produces acid (a short chain fatty acid), is an ideal energy source for intestinal cells, and promotes a healthy gut
