After a bath, Labrador retrievers are drier compared to other dogs. Their thick, dense coat allows water to trickle over the fur, just as it does down a duck’s feathers.

Royal Canin Labrador 30 product advantages:

High-protein diet: improves palatability, gives a feeling of satiety and maintains lean body mass (protein provides 30% less net energy than carbohydrates). Barley: regulates postprandial serum glucose peak. L-carnitine, alpha hydroxy-citric acid and conjugated linoleic acid: help limit
lipogenesis.

Intake of chondroitin1, glucosamine2 and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) helps maintain healthy joints.

The synergistic complex (niacin, pantothenic acid, choline, inositol and histidine) strengthens the skin barrier by increasing the synthesis of ceramides.

Lutein and zeaxanthine are 2 carotenoid pigments the dog cannot synthesize but which are found in the crystalline lens and retina, and which reduce the photooxidation reactions caused by UV rays in the retina. In long-term use, these 2 carotenoids help maintain health of the crystalline lens.

1/ Hydrates cartilage and inhibits enzymatic action on chondrocytes.
2/ Stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid.
