Hill's b/d Ageing & Alertness - Prescription Diet - Canine

Hill's b/d Canine is specially formulated with an exclusive blend of antioxidants and vegetables to counteract the symptoms of brain ageing and age-related behavioural changes, and even improve the learning capacity of older dogs. Hill's b/d Canine is clinically proven to aid disorientation, social interaction, sleeping patterns and cleanliness in older dogs.

Ageing of the brain in dogs

The brains of older dogs are more vulnerable to free radicals produced in the body. The damage that free radicals can inflict on the brains can cause progressive changes in the behaviour of older dogs.

Key features

• The food range contains an increased content of Vitamin E and other anti-oxidants (including carotenoids and flavonoids), which help to neutralise free radicals (harmful substances) and counter age-related behavioural changes.
• The added L-Carnitine supports the energy production in the cells.
• An increased content of Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) to support cell membranes in the body.
• The sodium, phosphorus, and protein content of the diet is reduced to contribute to the health of the heart and kidneys in the older dogs.
• The number of fibres in Hill's b/d is increased to support dog's bowel function.
