Our OPTISTART range was inspired by our discovery of how to support your puppy’s immune response by up to 50% more*. As puppies discover the outside world and new environments, OPTISTART products help to maintain their strong natural defences and long-term health thanks to colostrum - a nutrient found in mother's first milk. This specific ingredient is proven to reduce the risk of upsets and helps to stabilise intestinal microflora during stress episodes.
