As large breed dogs reach their "middle age" at around 5 years of age (as opposed to 7 years of age for smaller breeds), the Hill's Youthful Vitality 5+ recipe has been scientifically developed to help large breeds fight the complex effects of ageing at a cellular level.
Precise nutrition helps supports your dog's cells as they age and the bespoke mix of fatty acids and antioxidants, including vitamins C + E help support:
- Brain function - Contains powerful antioxidants for a healthy brain and support your dog's desire to interact with their family
- Healthy digestion - Made of high quality, easy-to-digest ingredients to create a taste your dog will love
- Luxurious coat - Added essential fatty acids to help keep your dog's coat shiny and soft
- Energy and vitality - Contains protein and L-carnitine to help support improved activity and help keep your dog moving
- Healthy immune system - Vitamin C & E to help support a strong immune system
Hill's Youthful Vitality 5+ supports older, large breed dogs who are naturally starting to slow down both mentally and physically as they reach their middle years by giving them a tasty, complete food and a unique blend of beneficial ingredients that exceed the AAFCO nutrition standards.When changing your dog's diet to Hills Science Plan Youthful Vitality 5+ Large Breed with Chicken & Rice, we recommend (as with any major change in diet) that you introduce the new diet over a period of around 7 days, increasing the amount of new diet in place of the existing diet gradually as the week progresses.
