Senior Wet Dog Food

Our 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.

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.

You’ve heard it before, ‘you are what you eat’ - and this is just as relevant for your pet as it is to you. A good diet is crucial to your pet’s overall health and wellbeing.

At Forthglade our aim has remained the same since we opened our doors in 1971; to produce simple, wholesome & natural meals for dogs which provide them with the nourishment they deserve. You only need to see and smell our food to appreciate the quality.

We have a wholegrain range that contains brown rice only. The rest of our wet food range is grain free. if you'd like to shop our wholegrain recipes, they are available here.

Our wet food trays should be stored in a cool, dry place. If you prefer a more solid consistency to our wet food, you may choose to store unopened trays in a fridge during hot weather. Just pop them on the side to bring up to room temperature before feeding.

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 whilst reducing the quantity of higher fat ingredients.

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.

In the short term, you can of course feed an Adult recipe to your Senior dog, however we would recommend moving to a Senior recipe when it is convenient to do so to ensure that your dog is getting the tailored nutrition they need for their current life stage and to avoid any unwanted weight gain.

No, our recipes do not contain buckwheat.

Our wet food trays are gently cooked and sealed. They are shelf-stable and don't need to be kept chilled before opening. They should be stored in a cool, dry place. It's normal for them to feel warm after spending time in a delivery vehicle or carrier depot, especially during hot weather.

As long as the trays are still fully sealed, show no signs of damage, swelling or leaking, and are within their best before date, they're perfectly safe to feed. If you prefer a more solid consistency to our wet food, you may choose to store the unopened trays in a fridge during hot weather. Just pop them on the side to bring up to room temperature before feeding.
