We’ve teamed up with celebrity media vet Dr James Greenwood to share his knowledge on keeping senior dogs happy and healthy. From dietary needs, recommended exercise and mental stimulation. James highlights his top tips to keep older dogs fitter for longer.
We’ve included a few tails from our loyal pack of ambassadogs. We asked for their feedback on our puppy wet food so you can hear why they love Forthglade so much.
Nala is currently loving the range! I have never seen her so happy for her food to be dished up! Nala is currently having her food mixed half and half with biscuits and she demolishes it in seconds.

My puppy absolutely LOVES the new puppy range, her favourite flavour being lamb & liver! Great range of flavours and perfect for sensitive tummies like Luna! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Maya is thriving on the new senior range, I have noticed an increase in her energy levels since feeding it, and it's great to know that are joints and bones are receiving the extra support they need.

Charlie absolutely loves the Forthglade senior range, he’s always been a fussy eater not really bothered about his food, but since we've fed Forthglade he can never get enough. He’s nearly 8 now, and I’ve got total peace of mind that their senior range is giving him the best nutritional support now he’s a little older.

Ella is a huge fan of the senior dog wet food range! She inhales all flavours, but she gets most excited for the fish. As she heads towards her 15th birthday, it’s important she gets high quality food and I love that it includes glucosamine and chondroitin which helps to keep her joints healthy so she can keep adventuring and looking super sleek and shiny whilst doing it!

Our highest protein recipes, our Just 90% natural dog food range should be fed alongside a mixer such as our natural dry cold pressed dog food for optimum nutrition and health. This makes them perfect for tailoring mealtimes so your dog gets just what they need.
Feeding tip: We’ve been told by our customers that they love to use our Just 90% range on lick mats or inside Kongs as an additional
treat option!
Our cold pressed dry food is made using natural ingredients with added vitamins & minerals to ensure it contains everything your dog needs to stay happy & healthy. You don't need to mix our dry food with anything else, but if you prefer to mix up mealtimes,it's the perfect companion to our complete wet food ranges.
Feeding tip: for puppies, soak the pellets for up to 10 minutes in warm water to soften and release the flavour.
To complement your dog’s main source of food, we’ve developed a range of natural treats. Available in a range of flavours, our treats can be broken in two so perfect for training or easier portion control for smaller dogs. All of our treats are suitable from 2 months of age.
Feeding tip: from keeping joints & bones healthy, to fresh breath, to even helping your four-legged friend keep calm, our multi-functional range has recipes for all your dog's needs.
Feeding tip: break the pellets into smaller bite sized chunks and keep some in your pocket when out and about with your dog, they’ll love the extra treats!

FAQs
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.
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.
Wholegrain Brown Rice is a great, natural source of carbohydrate which is rich in fibre, antioxidants, manganese, magnesium & selenium which can all contribute to your dog’s digestive and overall health.
In the short term, you can of course feed a Senior recipe to your adult dog, however we would recommend moving to an adult 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 loss.
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.
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.
