Scientific studies have shown that a blend of zinc and omega 6 delivers a healthy skin and coat.BIOAVAILABILITY All products within the OPTIMUM Dry Dog range have been developed with high quality protein sources to ensure excellent nutrient absorption and BIOAVAILABILITY. Meaning that high levels of nutrients are absorbed by the body so that your dog can get the most out of their food and more out of life.HEALTHY DIGESTION The inclusion of wholegrains and beet pulp in OPTIMUM provides a natural source of fibre. This helps to control intestinal transit and maximise nutrient absorption, resulting in smaller, firmer stools.OPTIMUM DENTAL DEFENCE Like humans, maintaining good oral hygiene for dogs is an important factor of good health. The specifically designed OPTIMUM dental system helps to reduce plaque build-up and helps protect teeth and gums. The mechanical action of chewing the crunchy dry kibble, in combination with the active ingredient (sodium tripolyphosphate) helps promote good oral hygiene.OPTIMUM HEART HEALTH The unique OPTIMUM dry product formulation contains high levels of chicken, providing a natural source of arginine. Scientific studies have shown that arginine in conjunction with vitamin E help to maintain healthy blood circulation and cardiac function.URINARY TRACT HEALTH Small breed dogs are more susceptible to urinary tract infections. OPTIMUM Adult Small Breeds contains controlled levels of minerals which has a positive effect on urinary tract health.NO ADDED ARTIFICIAL COLOURS OR FLAVOURS The OPTIMUM range of dry products contains no added artificial colours or flavours.
