SPD™ Slow Cooked Lamb & Rosemary 354g

Australian Lamb is an excellent source of protein for young or active dogs. Lamb is packed with essential amino acids and is a great source of dietary fats which help sustain energy. It also contains a rich natural source of vitamin B which are necessary for maintaining a healthy immune and nervous system and a normal metabolism. The natural source of iron in lamb assists in normal cell function and oxygen transport and the zinc content helps support the immune system. Lamb is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids including ALA (alpha linolenic acid), an essential fatty acid with multiple benefits including supporting a health of skin and coat, and omega-6 fatty acids , including CLA. CLA provides immune regulatory support, increases lean muscle mass, increases bone mass and mineralisation, and may assist with blood sugar regulation.

This satiety can help aid weight loss due by helping decrease the animal’s hunger. High fibre can also act as a laxative, keeping the dog’s gastrointestinal tract moving with regularity.
