Regardless of their health status, dogs and cats are carnivores. The new veterinary hpm therapeutic range is based on the HP-LC (High Protein - Low Carbohydrate)* principle, with a low amount of carbohydrates and a high amount of proteins, of which more than 90% are of animal origin (on average ). The result is food perfectly adapted to your pet's needs.

Dogs and cats are carnivores!

This fact seems to have been forgotten after millennia of domestication, but nevertheless, dogs and cats continue to be carnivores. They have all the physical and physiological characteristics (jaws, claws, sensory organs) and especially a digestive system that is poorly adapted to metabolize carbohydrates from cereals, for example.

However, carnivores are perfectly adapted to digest and assimilate animal protein, which is undoubtedly the best guarantee of keeping them healthy.

• Low Phosphorus Content.
• Restricted Protein Content.
• Phosphorus chelators.
• High Energy Density and Palatability.
• Rich in EPA+DHA.

So why do the commercially available dog and cat foods contain so many grains?
Cereals (corn, wheat, …) are considered to be the main ingredient in 66% of dog food and 46% of cat food, together with a very high starch content*.

Veterinary hpm™: new generation of food designed for carnivores:

- Veterinary hpm was formulated to meet the nutritional needs of dogs and cats.
- A diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein.
All Veterinary hpm ™ foods are formulated with animal protein as the main source of energy, reducing the proportion of carbohydrates as much as possible.

High quality animal protein source
- Veterinary hpm is formulated with high quality animal protein sourced from European poultry and pigs and is produced at Virbac's factory in the south of France.

Reduced starch content
- Only the minimum necessary content of starch is used in the production of this food to obtain an appealing texture.

Giving your pet proper food means keeping it healthy.
- Discover how Veterinary hpm contributes to keeping your pet healthy. This principle of a diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein with the addition of functional ingredients, helps to monitor many sensitive points of your animal's health: control of body weight, maintenance of muscle mass, low glycemic index, immune support, urinary health, skin and coat support...
