As our loyal companions grow older, their needs change — and diet is one of the most important ways we can support them.
But when exactly is a dog considered “Senior,” and what makes their food different?
When is a Dog a Senior?
Most dogs are classed as senior from 7 years old. Larger breeds may show signs of aging earlier, while smaller breeds often stay youthful for longer. Regardless of size, a senior diet helps give them the nutrition they need for their golden years.
Why Do Senior Dogs Need a Different Diet?
Senior dogs thrive on recipes tailored to their age. These diets are specially balanced to:
- Support Joints: With Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM to help keep cartilage healthy and prevent those aches and pains.
- Aid Digestion: Added fibre to keep things moving and support gut health.
- Maintain a Healthy Weight: By reducing the energy content we help to prevent weight gain as activity levels naturally slow when your dog reaches their later years.
- Protect Lean Muscle: L-Carnitine, an essential amino acid, helps support lean muscle mass.
