Description
Suitable for all breeds over 7 years. In general, dogs of seven years or more start taking life a bit easier, and as a result their nutritional needs are different to those of younger dogs. In large breeds, this change can occur even earlier. Senior dogs are less active with a slower metabolism, so can be prone to gain weight, and they may also require support for their ageing joints and immune system. They therefore require a high quality tasty diet such as Nutriment’s Senior Formula with easy to digest protein, lower calories and a balance of essential nutrients.
Enhanced natural raw feeding supplies essential proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals needed for dogs to thrive throughout their lives. If your dog has been eating the same protein every day for months or years, there is a good chance he or she may develop an allergy to it. Contrary to popular belief, dogs need diversity in their diets just like humans do – so don’t be afraid to mix up your usual order a bit and give your dog some variety! Contains 75% fresh meat, offal and bone. 25% vegetables, fruit and natural super foods. Just check out the other ingredients!

Feeding Guide
A full grown adult dog should be fed around 2-3% of the dog’s ideal body weight per day, ideally spread over two meals. If your dog needs to lose some weight, try feeding slightly less than this quantity, or switch to a meat with a lower fat content, until the ideal weight has been achieved. Don’t forget that exercise is essential too!
