Because wet dog meals are softer and have a higher moisture content, they can be very helpful for senior dogs. When selecting wet food for elderly dogs, take into account products that provide:
Good sources of protein to keep muscle mass
Reduced caloric intake to help control weight
Chondroitin and glucosamine for healthy joints
Omega-3 fatty acids for reducing inflammation and improving cognitive function
Components that are easy for sensitive stomachs to digest
Additional minerals and vitamins to promote general health
Seniors' favorite wet dog food products include:
The Science Diet of Hill Recipe for Blue Buffalo Homestyle Senior Royal Canin Aging Care Purina Pro Plan Senior Concentrate Senior Complete Health and Wellbeing
Because nutritional requirements might vary depending on health issues and activity levels, it is always advisable to see a veterinarian to identify the optimum diet for your particular older dog.
