At DOG'S LOVE, we have our wet food Senior Turkey & Light, with reduced fat content and fresh vegetables and fruit, for seniors who need support with weight management. So it is now especially important that the proteins in the feed are of high quality and easily digestible. Quality senior food has all these characteristics. The amount your animal needs is as individual as the animal itself. DOG'S LOVE product packaging includes a table with a feeding recommendation that has been prepared together with veterinarians. Watch your pet closely and adjust the amount as required. Some dogs only want to eat once a day as they get older. Respect this wish and provide a quality meal. And last but not least: Nothing is as important as fluid intake.

It is important that senior dogs have the required daily intake of quality animal proteins.
The wide spectrum of carefully selected wild-origin meats, such as reindeer, duck, pheasant, turkey, lamb, wild boar and salmon, corresponds to the composition of natural prey and ensures intake of important amino acids.
All the meat and animal ingredients in Carnilove are selected with the greatest possible emphasis on quality and come from regulated farms in Europe.
Made exclusively with fresh meat and no meat meal, the recipe also includes beneficial herbs and veggies to give it excellent taste and great digestibility.
Formulated for senior or overweight adult dogs, the recipe has all the nutritional benefits of the CARNILOVE True Fresh range, including supporting lean muscle maintenance.
The inclusion of green lipped mussel and cartilage extract supports mobility and flexibility of joints and tendons too.
The majority of Carnilove recipes contain salmon oil, which is rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
Omega 3 fatty acids support the nervous and cardiovascular systems and hair and skin quality.
The salmon oil in Carnilove comes from Scottish salmon and contains high levels of DHA and EPA, both of which support mental capacities.

You could also try preparing a simple meal for your dog of cooked chicken and barley or cooked lamb and rice.
These home-cooked meals are both nutritious, and bland enough to sit well with them if your older dog is experiencing some nausea.
Many senior dog foods will also contain higher quality protein sources than standard dog food, which can help senior dogs maintain a healthy body weight without putting unnecessary strain on their aging kidneys.
If your senior dog has allergies, your vet might recommend limited ingredient dog foods, which include just a single protein source, such as chicken, beef or lamb, often combined with one carbohydrate source.
Limited ingredient dog foods can be used to eliminate allergens that might be causing allergic reactions or symptoms.
When looking for limited ingredient dog foods, it's essential to check for the Association of American Feed Control's seal of approval, in addition to a complete and balanced claim from the manufacturer.
Dog Food High in Protein can help senior dogs maintain a healthy body weight without putting unnecessary strain on their aging kidneys.
High-Fiber, Low-Fat Dog Food can help to prevent constipation and keep their bowels working regularly.
