Senior dog food at Puro: food that grows with your dog

The first grey hairs around the muzzle, a slightly slower pace when walking. Ageing is not only visible on the outside. A lot changes on the inside too. Energy needs, the way food is digested, even taste preferences can shift. That is why we at Puro developed dog food especially for seniors. Not a standard kibble, but food that takes into account what older dogs really need.

What changes in dog food as your dog ages?

An eight-year-old dog is no longer comparable to a young jumper. The muscles do not build as fast, the digestive system works slower and the joints require extra support. In senior dog food, we adjust the protein and fat content so that your dog does not gain unnecessary weight while remaining strong. We choose easily digestible ingredients, such as rice and chicken, which put less strain on the stomach. This keeps the bowl attractive, even for dogs that get pickier with age.

Sometimes you notice that your dog tires faster, wants to sleep more often or gets less enthusiastic from long walks. Good food then helps to get through the day smoothly. A kibble that is not heavy on the stomach, but provides enough building blocks for strong bones and a shiny coat.

What do you pay attention to when ordering senior dog food?

Not every senior dog food is the same. The difference is in the details. At Puro, we look at the dog's size, breed and activity level. A small dog of twelve has different needs than a large labrador of eight. That's why you'll find different varieties with us, tailored to these differences.

When ordering, don't just consider your dog's age. Also look at weight, teeth and any sensitivities. Some older dogs get joint problems, others react to certain grains or have sensitive digestion. In those cases, a food with adapted composition can help.

How does senior dog food support digestion?

Older dogs digest food less quickly. You notice this by a fuller belly, flatulence or a less beautiful coat. In our senior kibbles, we use easily digestible ingredients and add extra fibre. These fibres ensure smooth bowel movements and help the intestines do their job.

Moreover, our senior dog food contains less salt and an adjusted amount of minerals. This keeps kidney function supported without putting unnecessary strain on the body. The chunks are not too hard, so that even dogs with weaker teeth can eat without problems.

Which senior dogs is Puro suitable for?

Whether you have a small terrier that still likes to jump on the sofa, or a large shepherd that is taking it a bit easier: at Puro you will find senior dog food for every stage of life. We differentiate between small, medium and large breeds. We also have a variant with extra support for dogs prone to joint problems. Some owners notice that their dog gets stiffer in autumn and winter. A food rich in omega 3 and 6 then helps to keep the joints supple. The hot weather tips can also help in summer, as an older dog gets overheated faster.
