Benefits of Fish for Senior Dogs

 

How quickly many of us suddenly own dogs that are entering their twilight years. Once there was a time they wore us out with their boundless energy and perilous, puppy adventures, they quickly became adult dogs, companionable and confident, and then suddenly our friend starts to show a little grey and slow down.

 

Dogs age at different rates dependent on their size and breed, but signs usually appear at around 8 years old. There can be many behavioural signs your dog is ageing such as, becoming more affectionate, a little grumpier or more anxious. More obvious signs can be physical such as troubles with digestive health or decreasing mobility. Reduced activity and mobility can then lead to your senior dog gaining additional pounds, which can lead to other health problems.

 

Good nutrition can help support your pet through this transition in their life. A diet of fish rich in omega 3 can be particularly effective at reducing joint inflammation and has been found to be successful at reducing painful symptoms of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

 

The nutritious range of wet & dry food from Fish4Dogs® is full of flavour but with a lower fat content than other recipes, it also provides a natural source of omega 3 to support joint health. The recipes contain fish as its only protein source, ideal for dogs with intolerances to poultry or meat. It also benefits from the use of sweet potato, a delicious alternative carbohydrate source and is grain free.
