Nutrition for Senior Dogs

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, they can, however, all be found in Natural Dog Food All in One Senior Light Dog Food

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.
