Senior Nutrition

 
 
As dogs (and humans) advance in years the body gradually changes, not only in its requirements for certain nutrients, but also in the way it assimilates the components of the diet. This is a perfectly natural part of the ageing process, which continues imperceptibly throughout life, but becomes particularly noticeable as the dog becomes elderly. The diet for seniors should reflect, not only the body’s changing biological requirements for the macronutrients (those needed in relatively large amounts) such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates and vegetables, but also the micronutrients (those needed in relatively small amounts) such as vitamins and other bioactive components. The requirements for bio-available natural micronutrients are often ignored or neglected, but they are vital in supplying bioactive components to help control weight, support the digestive and skeletal system and major organ function. All in One Senior Light has been specifically designed to include the full spectrum of natural macro and micro-nutrients without any need for supplementation. Senior Light also incorporates a broad selection of therapeutic herbs, chosen for their well documented beneficial properties with particular focus on the joints, mobility and organ support. Calorie content is kept low whilst a marginally increased protein level helps to prevent the muscle wastage so often seen in older dogs.

I am writing to let you know that my dog Oliver has never looked so well. Being an alsation, he always had a slightly dickie tummy and soft stools. This is a thing of the past with your food and he loves it. Thank you.
