After the growth peak, the energy requirement of young large breed dogs starts to reduce, and their diet must account for this to help avoid a predisposition to excess weight and joint issues. This formula supports healthy continued growth at a moderate calorie level, with joint and muscle support, high digestive tolerance and a low-allergen formulation. Free from artificial colours and flavours.
