Royal Canin Mini Breed Dachshund (28) Formula

For adult Dachshunds over 10 months of age. The special properties of the Dachshund, such as its characteristic body shape and very short legs make it a very unusual breed that needs special attention. The Dachshund is well known for sensitive joints, with very short, bowed legs--the cartilage of long bones ossifies prematurely, causing leg growth to end early. This formula provides support for joints and optimum irrigation of cartilage through the inclusion of chondroitin, glucosamine, and EPA/DHA , which have well known anti-inflammatory properties. Dachshunds have a vertebrae that are subjected to heavy mechanical strain on a daily basis. However the shorter an animal's legs, the less ability they have to absorb shock. This formula provides nutritional support for the backbone by helping to maintain muscle tone and optimum healthy body weight with a high protein diet that contains only 14% fat. The addition of conjugated linoleic acid helps preserve muscle tone at the expense of fatty cells and L-carnitine is added to help the body metabolize fat. Helps maintain correct bucco-dental hygiene. Kibbles have a specially designed texture that produces a brushing effect which results in the reduction of dental plaque formation. Also includes chelating agents that slow tartar development by fixing the calcium present in the saliva.
