VITALITY SENIOR MAXI +6

Dogs are considered senior from an age that varies according to their size. As a general guideline, large dogs become senior at around 6 years of age, medium-sized dogs from 7 years of age and small dogs from 8 years of age. As they age, changes may occur in their activity level, mobility and metabolism, so it is advisable to adapt their diet to better meet their nutritional needs at this stage of life.

The number of daily meals for a senior dog depends on factors such as their size, age, physical activity level, body condition and health status. Therefore, there is no specific feeding frequency just for older dogs. What is important is that they receive the appropriate amount of food to meet their nutritional and energy needs. For guidance on quantities, always check the feeding guide on the packaging. Discover all the information in this article: How do I calculate the correct amount of food for my dog?

To ensure a good adaptation to the new food, a gradual transition over 5 to 7 days is recommended. During this period, progressively increase the proportion of the new senior dry food while reducing the amount of the previous food. This gradual change helps the dog adapt better to the new formula and allows you to check that they tolerate it properly.

As they age, older dogs may experience a decrease in mobility and physical activity levels. These changes can increase the risk of weight gain and make it necessary to adjust their diet to maintain good body condition and quality of life. Formulas for senior dogs are adapted to this stage and help meet their specific energy needs, while also supporting good digestion and the maintenance of muscle mass.
