STRONG DEFENCES

Everyday, dogs are exposed to plenty of factors that can have a negative effect on their overall health. Which is why it’s important to feed them nutrition that helps build up strong defences against the elements – like the nutrition inside every one of Eukanuba’s formulas.

Extraordinary Dog Facts

Dogs have extraordinary defences due to the 30 billion immune cells circulating in their blood.

Immune system defense Why it Works
A dog's first lines of defence are his barriers like his skin and coat and the lining of his digestive tract. And his second line of defence is the biological action of his immune cells and antibodies. That’s why Eukanuba is rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene, which help support his immune system now and in the long run.

The Benefits of Prebiotics

The clinically proven Prebiotic FOS in Eukanuba supports strong defences. The digestive tract is an important part of a dog’s defence system, and almost 70% of a dog’s immune system is found in the digestive tract. One of its roles is to maintain the balance between good and bad bacteria. So it’s good to feed your dog a diet rich in Prebiotics, because it helps promote good bacteria while at the same time reducing the bad.
