VETERINARY HPM® - Advancing Health Through Nutrition

Although our dogs and cats might seem a long way from their wild ancestors, their nutritional needs remain fundamentally unchanged. Dogs and cats are carnivores. Are you feeding them like one?

A global preventive profile

It’s a proven fact: correct nutrition helps dogs and cats stay healthier.

Thanks to its high-protein, low-carb nutritional profile and carefully selected dietary supplements, VETERINARY HPM® is more than just a dog and cat food. VETERINARY HPM® provides expertly tailored nutrition for the specific health challenges at each stage of your pet's life, helping to keep them in optimal health.

Each VETERINARY HPM® product has a different Global Preventive Profile adapted to the specific condition (neutered or entire), age and lifestyle of your pet.

VETERINARY HPM® offers a large spectrum of health benefits, developed to support the long-term health and well-being of cats and dogs.

  • Optimal weight
  • Urinary health
  • Oral & dental health
  • Skin & coat support
  • Digestive support

High quality ingredients

The VETERINARY HPM® formulations are constant all year round, and respect the most modern nutritional standards and guidelines, using only the highest quality ingredients. 

Animal protein is the main ingredient of the VETERINARY HPM® range, and this comes from high quality pork and poultry, contains very low levels of ash (minerals) and is from European origin. Our peas and potato starch are from Europe and our rice originates from Asia.

No artificial colours or flavours are added to any VETERINARY HPM® products. Our strict ingredient supply policy also ensures that no raw materials are derived from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).

Naturally appealing

In just a few decades, dogs and cats, both of which are natural carnivores, have had to adapt to diets increasingly rich in starch. Recent studies show however, that when given the choice, dogs and cats clearly prefer foods which contain very little carbohydrate and are richer in animal protein.*

All VETERINARY HPM® products were trialled by cat and dog owners in order to validate the quality and acceptance of every product. The tests were conducted at home, in real conditions over one month.

  • 94% acceptance with large and medium dogs
  • 92% acceptance with small and toy dogs
  • 84% acceptance with cats

*Palatability studies carried out in between 2013-2014 by Technisens, with pet owners at home. 

For pets with health conditions

Dogs and cats are carnivores regardless of their health status. The VETERINARY HPM® Clinical Diets provide comprehensive nutritional management for dogs and cats with a health condition. Our clinical diets go beyond the management of a specific health condition thanks to our unique VETERINARY GLOBAL CARE approach. 

  • Nutritional management of the primary condition: each clinical diet is adapted for the nutritional management of a defined condition of the dog or cat.
  • Nutritional support of concurrent conditions: a health condition often impacts upon other organs and functions, which is why every VETERINARY HPM® clinical diet also supports the nutritional management of common concurrent conditions.
  • Restoration of body composition: the high-protein, low-carbohydrate formulation contributes to a balanced lean mass to fat mass ratio. 
  • Additional health benefits: every VETERINARY HPM® clinical diet helps to maintain the general health of the pet, and goes beyond the management of a specific health condition.

As far as GMOs are concerned, our policy demands strict specifications of our providers, according to which raw materials shall not be derived from GMOs.

VETERINARY HPM® is very palatable, but we do advise that you respect the daily rations recommended by your vet or vet nurse. Our general feeding guidelines can be found on every bag, but your vet or vet nurse can provide you with a recommendation tailored specifically to your pet. 

A dog should drink 50-70ml/kg of their bodyweight each day, whilst cats should consume 60ml/kg.

With VETERINARY HPM®, thanks to its higher amount of protein compared to other dry foods, your pet will naturally consume more water. So don't be surprised if they start drinking more water than usual - that's a good thing!

VETERINARY HPM® is produced in our own factory in France, more precisely in Vauvert, close to Nîmes. This site has been producing quality pet food since 1988, and thanks to a dedicated team of veterinary surgeons and pet nutritionists, we have been able to meet the very high expectations of pet owners in terms of food quality, traceability and safety for over 30 years.

Animal protein is the main ingredient of the VETERINARY HPM® range, and this comes from high quality pork and poultry, all of which is of European origin.

Starch belongs to the carbohydrate family and is found in maize, wheat, rice and potatoes. Starch is necessary to guarantee the consistency of dry food. However, a high-carbohydrate diet may have negative consequences on the health of dogs and cats, including digestive problems. This is why we decided to reduce the amount of starch in our formulas as much as possible: approximately 50% less than in other dog and cat foods in the veterinary market.*

The combination of our high protein, low carbohydrate formulation and the use specific functional supplements enables VETERINARY HPM® to support 10 key health areas for the long-term health and well-being of dogs and cats. Below is a list of these functional supplements and their respective roles in VETERINARY HPM®.

What is the role of lactobacilli?
Lactobacilli are bacteria naturally found in intestinal flora which regulate intestinal transit and contribute to a balanced digestive flora.

What is the role of bentonite?
Bentonite is a clay, which contributes to your pet’s good digestive tolerance: Bentonite is used in both our cat and dog food. These clays contribute to the formation of well-shaped stools with little odour. They also protect the digestive mucosa and help to control digestive disorders, such as diarrhoea.

What is the role of beta glucans?
Beta glucans promote the development of a puppy and kitten's own immune defence system.

What is the role of pentasodium triphosphate?
Pentasodium triphosphate is used in our small & toy dog foods and helps to limit tartar formation and ensure good oral and dental health.

What is the role of chondroitin sulphate and chitosan?
Chondroitin sulphate and chitosan help to maintain a strong musculoskeletal system.

What is the role of L-carnitine?
L-carnitine is used to help control your pet’s body weight and condition. It helps limit the deposit of fatty tissue and preserve muscle mass.

What is the role of chitosan?
Chitosan, as a chelater of phosphorus, is used to help maintain kidney function.

What is the role of fructooligosaccharides?
Fructooligosaccharides contribute to good digestive tolerance and the balance of intestinal flora, as well as reinforcing the digestive mucosa.

What is the role of psyllium?
Psyllium is a fibre that contributes to good digestive tolerance and the formation of well-shaped stools, whilst also helping to regulate bowel movement.

What is the role of Vitamin E?
Vitamin E helps maintain and stimulate the immune system in older animals.

Dogs and cats are carnivores, which makes them physiologically adapted to high protein intake.

No study has ever shown a high-quality, high-protein diet to cause early kidney fatigue in healthy dogs or cats. On the contrary, studies show that a high protein concentration in a balanced diet has no negative impact on kidney function, and some have shown that reducing protein does not slow the progression of kidney disease.

Not only is protein not dangerous, it is indispensable and necessary to keep dogs and cats in good health, even in older pets.

During a period of gestation or lactation, your pet has high nutritional needs, the same way puppies or kittens do. A high protein amount is therefore recommended and the best way to achieve this is to give your pet a product from our "Baby" range. During gestation period, you should switch over from an adult formulation to a baby formulation. For more advice please speak to your vet or vet nurse.
