Elevating the Health of 

Your Senior Dog 

Published on December 7, 2023

Did you know that Smack Pet Food is a versatile choice that can cater to every stage of your furry friend's life? Our raw dehydrated superfood product offers the ideal blend of raw, fresh nutrition in a convenient, no-fuss format—no fridge or freezer required!

 

In this blog, we're excited to shed light on how transitioning your senior dog to a Smack-exclusive diet can make a remarkable difference in their well-being and quality of life.

Premium Protein for Senior Dogs

Just like aging humans, senior dogs require quality protein to maintain their lean muscle mass. That's why we use only the finest, non-medicated meats (free from added hormones) and wild-caught fish in our carefully crafted recipes.

Superfood Ingredients for Optimal Aging

Our recipes lovingly handcrafted in Winnipeg, Canada, are brimming with superfood ingredients such as turmeric, a well-documented anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory spice; blueberries, known to enhance memory, motor skills, and night vision; and Pineapple, which contains an enzyme called bromelain which is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Plus, we keep it all-natural, without any artificial vitamins or synthetics!

Promoting Dental Health

Our low-carbohydrate recipes contribute to improved dental and gum health. Unlike high-carb diets that can lead to plaque buildup and gum disease, our options help maintain a healthy mouth. For our beloved senior canine companions grappling with dental concerns, you can easily achieve a softer texture by allowing the food to soak.

Aiding Digestion

Our advanced low-temperature dehydration technology preserves the nutritional integrity of our food, promoting easier digestion—an essential consideration for senior dogs who may be more prone to digestive issues. Our methods ensure food safety while retaining the natural, beneficial enzymes and bacteria necessary for a healthy gut.

A safe choice

Our dehydration method utilizes low-temperature, air-drying techniques to preserve meats without cooking, effectively removing moisture. This method kills pathogens while locking vital nutrients. In our 16 years in business, we have never had a recall or tested positive for any pathogens.

 

Make the switch to Smack Pet Food and unlock a healthier, happier senior stage for your beloved canine companion. Experience the difference today!
