General
Royal Canin MAXI Light 27 - It is important to feed large breed dogs prone to obesity a diet that is a well balanced, low energy food and proportionally enriched with all the nutrients to satisfy the animals' needs. It contains all the nutrients a dog needs such as essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals despite restricted calories. A nutritional deficiency and muscle loss in the pet can be caused by only reducing the feeding portions of a normal maintenance diet.
The term “Maxi” includes dogs weighing from 55 to 100 pounds at adulthood. Most of them were originally bred as working dogs, and still today excel as sheep dogs, trackers, emergency rescue dogs, guard dogs or as guide dogs for the blind. They are faithful and affectionate and make ideal pets.
Muscle Toning - Reduce Caloric Intake While Preserving the Muscle Tone of the Overweight Large Breed Adult Dog. To prevent excess weight gain and return to an ideal weight, a large breed dog needs a low-calorie food that is still just as tasty. The food should be rich in proteins to help preserve important muscle mass, while losing weight.
Fighting Against Obesity - Spaying of dogs or lack of exercise can lead to obesity in large breed dogs. One estimate is that one dog out of three is overweight. This can be detrimental to your dog.
Fat Assimilation - Efficient Use of Available Energy by the Overweight Large Breed Adult Dog. To lose weight correctly, a large breed dog must stimulate the use of its fat reserves. A well balanced diet with higher protein and reduced fat levels may help to promote an appropriate weight level, allowing for necessary mobilization of energy reserves without reducing muscle tone.
Antioxidant Vitamins E & C - Anticipate the Effects of Time for the Overweight Large Breed Adult Dog When they are in good health, large breed dogs have a longer life expectancy (average of 8 years), which means additional exposure to the effects of aging. Beginning in adulthood, it is important to provide a diet that may help to combat the effects of time - such as changes in kidney and heart function.
• For large breed dogs from 15 months of age.
