Is Senior Dog Food Necessary?

Senior dog food is necessary, as the composition is specially made to cater for our older dogs. With added Glucosamine and Chondroitin, it helps to maintain healthy joints as your pup begins to age. Senior dogs also require less calories as they age compared to
active adult dogs.

Although there are no adverse effects of feeding your senior pup adult food, it is always recommended that you feed according to life stage. If you have any concerns about your feeding, please contact a trusted vet.

What is the Difference Between Senior Dog Food & Regular Dog Food?

Senior pets require less energy from their diet as they age as they become less active. Our feeding guides take this into consideration to ensure your pup maintains a healthy weight. Our senior recipes also contain glucosamine and chondroitin, which are natural components found in the cartilage of joints. As pets age, their joints can deteriorate so added glucosamine and chondroitin may help to
maintain health joints.

ensure your dog still loves their dinners even after transitioning to a senior
diet.
