Nutrition plays a vital role in bone and joint development and maintenance throughout a dog’s life.
Nutrition, tailored to breed size with the correct balance of energy and nutrients, can help support strong bones and healthy joints for an active life.

Did You Know? A dog has an extraordinary amount of bones in his body- 321 versus 206 in humans. Eukanuba formulas are tailored for his particular needs and include many nutrients that have the potential to affect his bone and joint health. |

Strong bones during development
The variety in the size of dogs mean they have vastly different growth rates. Mature adult dogs can range from 1kg to 90kg. This means that a large or giant breed puppy has an extremely rapid growth rate when compared to a small breed puppy. Giant breed puppies born weighing 0.5kg can easily gain 70kg within the first 18 months of life 1 |

Joint nutrients
Nutrients such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate occur naturally in the body and are building blocks of healthy cartilage. When contained in a dogs diet, they can help
support healthy joints by constantly replenishing the nutritional reservoir for normal cartilage maintenance.
Clinically proven performance
- Eukanuba contains optimal energy and calcium levels to help promote good bone development.
- Eukanuba formulas have Omega 6 and Omega 3fatty acids at a ratio of 5-10:1 to support healthy joint cartilage.
- Eukanuba formulas contain natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate.
