Senior Wet Dog Food

Why Choose Forthlade

"It’s really important to think about what our dogs need at every single step of their life. When they reach about 7 years old, it’s a good idea to change them to a diet that’s natural and complete, that is lower in fat, calories and with the right balance of vitamins and minerals"

Switching By Day

A Handy Guide

"When transitioning your dog onto a new diet, it is particularly important to do this gradually and to avoid any sudden changes. This allows your dog’s digestive system to adapt with the switch and remain in balance. As a minimum, allow 5 full days to gradually reduce their current diet whilst simultaneously increasing their new food with each meal. For dogs with sensitive tummies, go even slower and transition over 1-2 weeks"

FAQs

In order to provide your senior dog with the best possible nutrition for their life stage, we’ve increased the amount of lower calorie vegetables alongside wholegrain brown rice contained within each recipe - as well as having reduced the meat content to 60%.

This change helps to keep the calorie content of the food where it needs to be for older dogs who typically have slower metabolisms whilst still delivering them the expert nutrition they need to support their overall health & wellbeing.

Our senior recipes contain a tailored mix of vitamins & minerals designed to support your older dog. Senior recipes contain higher levels of Glucosamine & Chondroitin as well as Salmon Oil, rich in Omega-3, to support your dog's joints & bones during their senior years.

In addition, our senior recipes are 15% lower in fat than our equivalent adult recipes in order to help support your dog to maintain a healthy weight as they move into their (usually a little slower) senior years.

Much like us, as dogs get older, they tend to slow down a little and become less active – so it’s important to provide a calorie controlled diet to maintain a healthy weight during their senior years.

Our new recipes are designed to be lighter than adult recipes so that portion size doesn’t need to reduce for senior dogs.

All of our wet recipes are hypoallergenic. This means we carefully select our ingredients to ensure that our recipes are of the best quality for your four legged friend. We use simple, quality ingredients with no junk or nasties. This means delicious and nutritious recipes that are kind and gentle to your dogs tummy.

You can safely store your opened trays of Forthglade wet meals in the fridge for up to two days after opening, without any compromise to quality or flavour.
