Product Details

Now that your medium breed puppy is around 7-12 months old, they have reached the adolescent stage when their body is almost fully developed and the growth stage has peaked. In this “teenager” lifestage, your young adult dog also has changing nutritional needs, requiring a slightly different diet that maintains healthy weight gain and supports their joints. It’s time to gradually switch to a good dry dog food like VETERINARY HPM® Junior Medium Dog* that is formulated to give medium junior dogs (adult weight: 11-25 kg) an energy-dense, high-protein recipe that:

Supports healthy growth
VETERINARY HPM® Junior Medium Dog is an energy-dense dry dog food with a high 35% protein content (90% from animal sources) and low carbohydrates (25%) providing lots of energy for playing and running.

Controls weight gain
The low 25% carbohydrate content prevents excessive weight gain and potential osteoarticular issues caused by the pressure of weight on joints. When your young adult dog is fed the recommended rations, VETERINARY HPM® Junior Medium Dog provides the ideal energy density levels for the end-of-growth period for medium breed puppies.  

Builds muscle mass
With a high protein content of 35% (90% from animal sources), your adolescent dog will develop health muscle mass to keep them physically active and coordinated.  

Supports healthy joint growth
A healthy musculoskeletal system is essential for both everyday mobility and high-energy physical activities. VETERINARY HPM® Junior Medium Dog gives your young dog the high-quality protein and balanced minerals it needs for healthy joints.

Promotes healthy digestion
Formulated with low starch and excluding common food allergens such as wheat, maize and gluten to help ensure good digestive intolerance and with the addition of prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides) and probiotics (lactobacilli), which are scientifically proven to support beneficial digestive flora and a healthy microbiome. Psyllium fibre maintains regular digestion and stools, while bentonite ensures normal stool odour and consistency.

In addition to protecting the urinary health of your young medium breed dog, VETERINARY HPM® Junior Medium Dog also contains ingredients like omega-3 fish oil to improve the skin and coat.

VETERINARY HPM® does not contain any artificial colours or flavours.
