Product Description
Royal Canin is committed to meeting the nutritional needs of every pet, with special focus on dogs. Their research into breed-specific characteristics allows them to create tailored formulas that focus on immune system support, healthy growth, weight management and digestive care.
Made specifically for Labrador Retrievers, this adult dry dog food provides a balanced and complete diet tailored to their unique needs. Packed with targeted nutrients to promote ideal body condition while providing essential glucosamine and chondroitin support to maintain joint health, as well as borage oil’s omega 3 fatty acid source EPA/DHA that help ensure skin and coat wellness.
Labrador Retrievers tend to consume their food quickly without chewing, so Royal Canin’s Labrador Retriever Adult formula’s cylinder-shaped kibble helps slow the rate of ingestion and encourage chewing. Furthermore, this food meets AAFCO nutritional levels as well as featuring an exclusive combination of antioxidants designed to combat oxidative stress.
Nutritional Information
Royal Canin’s breed health formulas are tailored specifically to each breed. Working alongside veterinarians and breeders, Royal Canin has developed targeted nutrition plans designed to bring out your pet’s best qualities.
Labrador Retriever puppies are energetic learners that love running, swimming and fetching. Unfortunately, these energetic learners also tend to overeat quickly and gulp down their food quickly – thus necessitating a diet specifically formulated to support immune health, healthy development and weight management.
A combination of patented* antioxidants such as vitamin E and prebiotics provides your puppy with essential support during this pivotal stage in its development. This formula contributes to healthy bone development as well as smooth weight gain thanks to an appropriate intake of energy, protein, calcium and phosphorus; additionally it includes special nutrients to strengthen their skin barrier (with borage oil included) and maintain the beauty of their water-repellent coat.
Ingredients
Labrador Retrievers are enthusiastic athletes that require extra care for their big bones. This targeted nutrition formula offers targeted care to help Labrador Retrievers maintain ideal weight while strengthening bones and joints. A cylinder-shaped kibble designed specifically to encourage slower eaters to chew slowly is specially created to do just this, while an exclusive mix of antioxidants promote healthy cell development while calcium, phosphorus, EPA/DHA nourish the skin/coat simultaneously.
Chicken by-product meal, a staple ingredient in dog food, is the mainstay of this recipe. Produced by processing and grinding up parts of chicken not suitable for human consumption such as necks, feet, entrails and undeveloped eggs into powder form for easy grinding or food-grade usage, it boosts protein without actually adding meat; powdered cellulose boosts it further as does sodium selenite which may not be properly absorbed and may even be toxic to pets.
Nutritional Supplements
Royal Canin recognizes the specific nutritional requirements of dogs through each breed-specific formula they create. Their nutritionists work alongside veterinarians, breeders, and pet experts to understand what effect each nutrient has on a dog’s health; additionally they study each breed’s face, jaw and teeth structure to create customized kibble shapes and textures to meet each dog’s chewing behavior.
This food specifically designed for Labrador Retrievers includes an accurate calorie content to prevent unnecessary weight gain. Furthermore, its inclusion of glucosamine and chondroitin will maintain bone and joint health as well as support skin barrier function through EPA/DHA supplements.
Food that meets this profile contains moderate protein, below-average fat and moderate to low carbohydrate intake. The recipe also incorporates vegetable oil as a cheaper alternative to animal fats but may compromise nutritional quality due to fewer omega-3 fatty acids found within it than its alternatives.
