Virbac Vet Complex Complete Nutrition – Life Stage Healthy Dog Range
For owners who want to provide the very best nutrition for their pets at affordable prices:
Even when we feed all the right ingredients, the goodness may be lost depending on how the food is prepared &
cooked. Vet Complex’s unique manufacturing process cooks the animal proteins & cereals separately at optimal
temperatures (to maximise flavour & digestibility), then all the other active ingredients are added cold (along with
the human food-grade pork fat), to the outside of each & every kibble (for taste & freshness). As a complete food,
Vet Complex provides a healthy & nutritionally balanced diet, removing the need for additional supplements in the
healthy dog.
