An older dog has different nutritional requirements than a puppy or adult dog. Growth is no longer necessary, but it remains important that your senior dog receives enough nutrients to support muscle maintenance and cell regeneration. You’ll also want to give extra support to the joints and pay attention to maintaining organ function. In addition, we aim to slow down brain ageing as much as possible.
Senior dog food often contains additional nutrients such as:
- Antioxidants like selenium and vitamin E to help slow cell ageing
- Omega 3-fatty acids to support the brain, heart and blood vessels, kidneys, joints, skin and coat
- L-carnitine to support heart function and help prevent excess weight
- B-vitamins to help maintain cognitive function
The protein content is often slightly lower, but made up of high-quality proteins to support muscle mass, and the food is generally more digestible.
Senior food for large breed dogs often includes added joint support, such as chondroitin and glucosamine. For example, TROVET Mobility & Geriatrics MGD Dog.
Senior Dog Food to Support Brain Function
Some dog foods are specially developed to help maintain cognitive function, such as:
- Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NC Neuro Care – Dog
- Hill’s b/d Ageing & Alertness Prescription Diet – Canine
- Sanimed Neuro Support
You can also support your senior dog with supplements.
