Specific Senior Small Breed CGD-S

Old age

Just like humans, dogs' nutritional needs change as they age. This is due to reduced levels of activity, weight change and the inevitable decline of organs and the digestive system. What's more, senior dogs are more prone to age-related diseases, such as renal insufficiency. For these reasons, it is important to support your old dog as much as possible, which is possible with a specially developed food for old dogs of small breeds such as Specific Senior Small Breed CGD-S.
