Featured ingredients

Chicken meal, deboned chicken, and whole eggs

The trio of animal proteins at the top of the list, essential for maintaining a large dog's muscle mass.

🦴 Glucosamine (glucosamine hydrochloride)

Supplement added to support cartilage and joints. Essential for the long-term mobility of a large dog.

💪 L-carnitine

Acid amino acid that helps convert fat into energy. Supports lean muscle mass and a healthy weight (critical for the joints of large dogs).

🌿 Turmeric and ginger

Two roots with natural anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric provides curcumin, particularly beneficial for joint comfort.

Salmon oil and flax seeds

Sources of omega-3. In addition to supporting skin and coat health, they help promote joint comfort (omega-3s are anti-inflammatory).

Oats at the top of the grain portion, followed by brown rice and pearl barley. Stable, long-lasting energy for a large dog.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference compared with the S6 (all sizes)?

The S8 adds L-carnitine and places greater emphasis on joint support with turmeric and ginger. This is particularly useful for large dogs that have a greater biomechanical load.

Will my dog be considered a large breed?

If their adult weight is 32 kg (70 lb) or more, yes. This includes golden retrievers, Labradors, Bernese mountain dogs, German shepherds, etc.

Why focus on joints?

Les grandes races are under greater strain and are more prone to dysplasia and osteoarthritis. The glucosamine nourishes the cartilage, the omega-3 reduce inflammation, and the turmeric brings its anti-inflammatory properties. It is an interesting preventive support from adulthood onward.

My large dog is getting older, should I switch to the S10 Senior?

When your dog slows down, gains weight easily, or shows signs of reduced mobility, switching to the S10 senior (with even more L-carnitine and joint support) becomes relevant.
