Senior dogs have different nutritional needs than younger dogs. They may need more nutrients to support their aging bodies, and may be more prone to certain health conditions. Dog treats that are all natural, single-protein and made with high-quality ingredients are beneficial in maintaining the nutritional needs of older dogs.
As dogs age, they are more likely to develop joint problems, such as arthritis. All natural treats that contain glucosamine and chondroitin, such as shark cartilage, can help to improve joint health and reduce pain.
Senior dogs still require mental stimulation. Try using puzzle toys filled with roo bites, or peanut butter filled kongs, these can help to keep senior dogs' minds sharp and engaged.
Senior dogs may have difficulty getting all the nutrients they need from their regular food, so natural treats can be a good way to supplement their diet. Natural treats are often high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients that are essential for older dogs.
