Product Description

Product Overview

Büngener Essence Paste Junior – 100g is a complementary nutritional paste specially formulated for junior cats aged 3 to 12 months. It combines oils, fibres, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and selected functional ingredients to support the higher nutritional demands of kittens and young cats during growth.

The formula contains malt, corn germ oil, salmon oil, thistle seed oil, apple cellulose and inulin (FOS), together with papaya, pineapple, sea buckthorn, slippery elm bark, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate.

It also provides important nutrients including taurine, lysine, methionine, L-tryptophan, DHA, EPA and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients contribute to normal growth and support developing body systems, while the fibre-containing formulation provides additional digestive and hairball-management support.

Because the paste contains a comparatively high level of vitamin D3, the manufacturer states that the total daily amount should not exceed 30% of the cat's total daily food intake.
