" Here at AVA we believe that the love you feel for your dog can only be matched by the care we take in producing their food.
Our aim is perfectly simple - to use our passion and expertise to deliver exceptional nutrition through our foods.
AVA - the next step in Advanced Nutrition food.
At AVA we understand what makes your dog different.
That's why this tailored AVA BREED HEALTH formulation is specially made for Pugs and includes +Imuvita to support their immunity.
Pugs are typically loyal, loving and full of character.
Their size, solid build and big personality has maintained their position as one of the most popular small breeds for many years.
Sometimes, Pugs can be fussy eaters yet easily gain weight without adequate exercise or with overfeeding.
As a brachycephalic breed they are also susceptible to overheating and some dogs may experience breathing and eye issues.
Excellent skin and coat condition and a good digestive function are especially important for small breed dogs and are a sign of general good health.
Our AVA BREED HEALTH formulation is especially tempting, containing a source of quality fish protein for sensitive stomachs, with a curved kibble for easy feeding, prebiotics for digestive health and added Glucosamine and Chondroitin.
AVA is Veterinary Approved and a perfect choice for those wanting to feed a quality food.
Suitable for Pug. "
