Why Senior Formulas Help Working Dogs

Older working dogs benefit from balanced calories, quality protein, and targeted supplements. Our senior range supports joint comfort, steady weight, and easy digestion so you can keep them comfortable in retirement and light work.

What’s Inside (and What Isn’t)

  • Complete working dog food — balanced in every bowl.
  • Joint support — glucosamine & chondroitin in senior lines (see each product for amounts).
  • Digestive simplicity — pick grain free or classic fish & rice.
  • Clear feeding guidance — easy to portion and adjust by workload.

Switching & Sensitivities

Transition gradually over 7–10 days. Monitor body condition (visible waist; ribs easy to feel) and adjust portions for weather and activity levels.

Feeding Older Working Dogs

  • Transition slowly: mix over 7–10 days.
  • Portion by workload: a little less on rest days, a touch more after activity.
  • Body condition first: aim for a visible waist and ribs you can feel, not see.
  • Water: always available; split meals if that suits your dog.

Estimate only; adjust to keep a visible waist and easily felt ribs.

Senior Dog Food FAQs

When does a dog need senior food?

There’s no magic birthday. Switch when you notice slower recovery, less stamina, or creeping weight gain—and your vet agrees.

Is grain free better for seniors?

Some older dogs do well on grain free for digestion. Others thrive on fish & rice. Choose what your dog tolerates best.

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.

Delivery costs & timing?

Free delivery across England, Wales and most of Scotland; most orders arrive within 48 hours.
