Senior dog food from Terra Canis 


What kind of dogs is our senior dog food most suitable for? 

 Our senior dog food was developed especially for dogs of an advanced age. It’s ideal for dogs who have reached a certain age and whose metabolism has slowed. Our senior dog food provides a balanced diet suited to older dogs' specific needs and helps them maintain health and vitality. 
Our senior dog food is particularly recommended for dogs showing signs of age-related problems such as joint pain or reduced activity. It contains high-quality ingredients to support joint health, good digestion, and a healthy immune system. We aim to offer older dogs a nutritious diet to suit their changed needs and enable them to live a healthy old age. 

When is a dog considered to be a senior dog? 

When a dog is classed as senior depends on several factors, including its breed and size. In general, the senior stage of life for dogs starts at around seven years of age, but this can vary according to their size and health condition. For bigger dogs, the senior stage may start earlier, while smaller dogs are often considered to be senior later on. 
Typical signs of ageing in dogs are reduced activity, changes in behaviour, and possibly age-related health problems such as arthrosis or sight and hearing issues. It is essential to be aware of the individual needs of your dog, looking out for any signs of aging, and to react accordingly, to ensure that it receives the best possible care. This includes feeding it a suitable diet with our specially developed senior menu. 

Can a senior dog eat food that isn’t presented as senior food? 

Yes, a senior dog can eat food that isn’t especially intended for senior dogs, such as when a special diet is necessary due to an illness. However, it is important to ensure that the food you choose meets the specific needs of older dogs. Older dogs often have different nutritional needs for energy, protein, and micronutrients, so it is advisable to choose a food that is especially tailored for the purpose. 
While it is possible for senior dogs to eat other food, our special senior menu provides assurance that it contains balanced and needs-oriented nutrition suited to the dog’s age. 

How much protein do senior dogs need, and how does an appropriate protein content affect muscle loss in older dogs? 

For senior dogs, protein intake appropriate to its needs is crucially important to prevent muscle loss and to support the animal’s general health. In fact, an appropriate amount of protein can help maintain muscle mass and prevent age-related muscle loss. 
High-quality proteins are essential for tissue repair, cell structure, and to maintain musculature. In older dogs a lack of protein can cause a deterioration in health, including a decline in muscle mass, reduced immune function, and slower recuperation from injury or illness. 
Appropriate protein content in a senior dog’s food can help to maintain muscle mass, improve mobility, and improve the quality of life in old age. However, it is important to adapt protein intake to the dog’s individual needs because some older dogs may need a special low-protein diet due to kidney problems or other health conditions. 
The Terra Canis senior menus contain high-quality human-grade protein to ensure a valuable source of protein at an advanced age. 

Do I have to add anything to the senior menus to balance it? 

Our senior wet food has been carefully developed and balanced to provide older dogs with balanced nutrition. It contains all the necessary nutrients to support the health and well-being of older dogs, and there is no need to add extra ingredients. Our aim is to offer high-quality food that is easy to serve, ensuring that your senior dog receives all the nutrients it needs. 
If, however, you wish to add ingredients to our senior wet food, you can do so, provided that what you add is healthy and suitable for the dog. It is important to check that the overall diet remains balanced, and that you are not overfeeding your pet with too many nutrients or calories.
