Overview

Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Canine NC NeuroCare is an advanced therapeutic diet specifically formulated to nutritionally support brain function in dogs. Developed by Purina veterinarians and nutritionists, this diet contains medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and a targeted blend of neuro-supportive nutrients designed to provide an alternative energy source for the brain.

The formula helps support mental alertness, learning ability, and overall neurological health.
