FAQ

The best dry dog food for entire adult medium and large breed dogs provides them complete nutrition fortified with vitamins and supplements that address their specific lifestage requirements. For example, adult dogs need less immune support because their systems are fully developed. But they do need weight control to maintain normal activity levels. The VETERINARY HPM® range of dry dog food gives dogs of all ages lifelong support with ingredients like prebiotics and postbiotics for good digestion and L-carnitine to help fat metabolism. Consult a veterinarian for expert nutritional advice adapted for your pet.

Your adult dog will love VETERINARY HPM® Adult Medium & Large Breed dry dog food because it’s delicious, but resist the urge to feed them every time they ask for more. This is a carefully formulated diet, so we strongly recommend following the standard daily rations for your entire adult dog’s age and weight. You will find our complete feeding guidelines on the bag, but your vet or vet technician can provide you with a feeding plan that is more customized for your pet. Consult a veterinarian for expert nutritional advice adapted for your pet.

Any type of diet that supplies all the nutrients, calories and protein it needs to support strong, healthy growth is good. However, using dry dog food for puppies usually has a few advantages over wet dog food. For example, the crunchy texture helps to clean their teeth, promoting better oral hygiene, plus it is also more nutrient-dense, helping to support quick growth. In all cases, you should provide unlimited access to drinking water for optimal hydration of your puppy or pregnant/lactating dog.
