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.
