Optimanova Adult Mobility Chicken & Rice is a balanced and complete dry dog food that can help to maintain and improve joint mobility. It has a particularly high chicken meat content (65%) and also contains a special combination of nutrients that can help to protect joints, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids that have an anti-inflammatory effect, combined with glucosamine and chondroitin that can help to combat abrasive wear on joints and cartilage. Added vitamin D can help to promote healthy bones as it regulates the transport and accumuation of minerals in the body. The manufacturing process uses only fresh and natural ingredients. The chicken used in this food comes from farms that produce human food-grade chicken. Chicken is the only animal protein in this food (mono-protein), which makes it very good for dogs with sensitive digestion or allergies. Optimanova’s high-tech manufacturing systems allow fresh meat to be included in this dog food instead of meat that has been frozen. This process leads to lower denaturation of the proteins and fats and maintains its first-class protein quality. These modern processes and gentle drying at low temperatures also help to preserve more of the flavour, nutrients and vitamins. The carbohydrate in the food comes from rice, which is rich in vitamins and minerals and can also have a regulating effect on the digestive tract. Prebiotic FOS and MOS also support the digestive system, encouraging the good bacteria in the gut (bifidus effect) and preventing the spread of bad bacteria, to create a balanced gut flora. The essential fatty acids EPA and DHA can help to strengthen the nervous, immune and circulatory systems and can also have a preventative effect on some cancers. The food is cooked in its own meat juices and the kibble is left to stew in the broth, so that it can soak up all of the nutrients and flavours of the natural ingredients. It is completely GM-Free and free from artificial additives. Optimanoval stands for an unmistakeably great flavour sensation and overall body balance for your dog.
