Dr Gary's Best Breed Senior Dog Diet Dry Dog Food

Best Breed’s Senior Dog Recipe is formulated with lower levels of fat content to account for decreased energy requirements, but still maintains high in levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which are needed for healthy skin and coat. In addition, it is important that senior dogs get their protein from a meat source that is of the highest quality to assist in reducing stress on the digestive system. The Senior Dog Recipe’s low-ash chicken, fish and eggs are high-quality, highly-digestible sources of protein and aid in maintaining and building lean muscle mass. The formula’s natural sources of glucosamine and added glucosamine hydrochloride assist in joint and connective tissue health.

Like all of Best Breed’s diets, the Senior Dog Recipe is developed with the “common sense” idea that a healthy dog begins with a truly super premium food, made with only the highest-quality ingredients. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions regarding Best Breed’s Senior Dog Recipe.

Why We Love It:

• Reduced calorie and fat levels help mature dogs maintain optimal weight as their metabolism slows and activity levels decrease and overweight dogs reduce the buildup of body fat and maintain leaner muscle mass.
• Made with the highest quality sources of meats, grains and fats to aid in easy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption.
• Healthful grains, including brown rice, oatmeal and sorghum.
• Natural antioxidants, including vitamin E and beta-carotene, support a strong immune system.
• Healthy fiber from beet pulp, a moderately fermentable source of soluble and insoluble fiber, helps promote healthy gastrointestinal functions and more consistent stools.
• Natural sources of glucosamine support proper joint and connective tissue health.
• Balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including linoleic acid, nurture healthy skin and promote a vibrant coat.
• To help ensure your dog’s nutritional safety, Best Breed pays a premium for EU-approved natural ingredients.
• Best Breed Senior Dog Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance. This formula will benefit all sizes of adult dogs.

Feeding Guidelines:

It is important to remember that your dog’s nutritional needs are unique and will vary with his environment, age and activity level. We recommend feeding to condition, this means using the following guide as a starting point, monitoring his weight and adjusting amounts accordingly. Feeding at least twice a day is optimal. Make sure fresh, clean water is available always.
