What's Inside (and What Isn't)

  • Complete working dog food balanced in every bowl.
  • Joint support with glucosamine and chondroitin in senior lines.
  • Digestive simplicity with grain free or classic fish and rice.
  • Clear feeding guidance that is easy to portion and adjust by workload.

Switching & Sensitivities

Transition gradually over 7-10 days. Monitor body condition with a visible waist and ribs easy to feel, and adjust portions for weather and activity levels.

Senior Feeding Tips

  1. Transition slowly

    Mix over 7-10 days to avoid upset stomachs.

  2. Portion by workload

    A little less on rest days, a touch more after activity.

  3. Body condition first

    Aim for a visible waist and ribs you can feel, not see.

  4. Water always

    Keep fresh water available; split meals if that suits your dog.

Do these recipes include joint support?

Yes. Selected lines include glucosamine and chondroitin. Check each product page for amounts.

How much should I feed?

Start with the feeding guide on the bag, then adjust to keep a healthy body condition. Split meals if that helps digestion.
