How It Works
This revolutionary recipe uses Freshtrusion HDP to break down salmon proteins into di and tri-peptides – the optimal size proven to achieve the best digestibility and absorption rates. These small-chain peptides act as powerful antioxidants, neutralising harmful free radicals while providing the amino acid building blocks for collagen synthesis. The comprehensive Wellness Blend™ delivers targeted functional benefits, while premium ingredients support health from puppyhood through to senior years.
