Expert pet advice

"It’s really important to think about what our dogs need at every single step of their life. When they reach about 7 years old, it’s a good idea to change them to a diet that’s natural and complete, that is lower in fat, calories and with the right balance of vitamins and minerals"

Dr James Greenwood, Media Vet & Forthglade Ambassador

Love from our Ambassadogs

We've included a few tails from our beloved Ambassadogs. We asked the pack for their honest feedback of why they love our Forthglade senior food so much...

Maya is thriving on the new senior range, I have noticed an increase in her energy levels since feeding it, and it's great to know that are joints and bones are receiving the extra support they need.

Charlie absolutely loves the Forthglade senior range, he’s always been a fussy eater not really bothered about his food, but since we've fed Forthglade he can never get enough. He’s nearly 8 now, and I’ve got total peace of mind that their senior range is giving him the best nutritional support now he’s a little older.

Ella is a huge fan of the senior dog wet food range! She inhales all flavours, but she gets most excited for the fish. As she heads towards her 15th birthday, it’s important she gets high quality food and I love that it includes glucosamine and chondroitin which helps to keep her joints healthy so she can keep adventuring and looking super sleek and shiny whilst doing it!


Our senior recipes contain higher levels of Glucosamine & Chondroitin as well as Salmon Oil, rich in Omega-3, to support your dog's joints & bones during their senior years.

In addition, our senior recipes are 15% lower in fat than our equivalent adult recipes in order to help support your dog to maintain a healthy weight as they move into their (usually a little slower) senior years.

Much like us, as dogs get older, they tend to slow down a little and become less active – so it’s important to provide a calorie controlled diet to maintain a healthy weight during their senior years.

Our new recipes are designed to be lighter than adult recipes so that portion size doesn’t need to reduce for senior dogs.

No.

Your senior dog should primarily be getting a tailored mix of vitamins & minerals to support their specific lifestage through the food you’re feeding them at mealtimes, so Salmon Oil can be added to complement this but shouldn’t be used in excess.

Please see the salmon oil product page on the website that shows the recommended feeding guide.

In order to provide your senior dog with the best possible nutrition for their life stage, we've increased the amount of lower calorie vegetables alongside wholegrain brown rice whilst reducing the quantity of higher fat ingredients.

This change helps to keep the calorie content of the food where it needs to be for older dogs who typically have slower metabolisms whilst still delivering them the expert nutrition they need to support their overall health & wellbeing.

In the short term, you can of course feed an Adult recipe to your Senior dog, however we would recommend moving to a Senior recipe when it is convenient to do so to ensure that your dog is getting the tailored nutrition they need for their current life stage and to avoid any unwanted weight gain.
