Why should dogs eat NUTRIENCE ACTIVE ADULT DOG ACTIVE MAINTENANCE large/giant breed food?

Chicken meal and dried egg product, two high quality sources of protein.
Chicken fat: a high quality source of linoleic and arachidonic essential unsaturated fatty acids, which promotes well-conditioned skin and a shiny coat.
Lecithin: provides a high level of linoleic Omega 6 essential fatty acids and contributes to fat digestion.
M.O.S. (Mannanoligosaccharides) helps prevent the colonization of pathogenic bacteria from binding onto the gut walls.
F.O.S. (Fructo-oligosaccharides) exclusive nutrient source for "good" bacteria, in association with M.O.S., produces a synergetic effect favouring healthy intestinal microflora.
Contains chelated minerals for optimum assimilation of certain special mineral compounds.
A special mix of herbs is added for optimum performance.
Yucca schidigera lowers the production of ammonia in the stool and decreases offensive odours.
L-Carnitine helps reduce body fat and enhance contractile force of muscles.
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates: provide anti-inflammatory properties; especially recommended for bone protection and/or arthritis conditions.
Vitamin C added for extra immune support.
