Practical Tips for Feeding Your Ageing Dog
How to adjust mealtimes and food choices to support an older dog’s changing needs.
Recognising Changing Requirements
As dogs age their energy levels and digestion may shift. Smaller, more frequent meals can be easier to manage.
Choosing Appropriate Textures
Softer foods or soaked kibble may support dogs with dental wear. Always introduce new textures gradually.
Portion Control and Weight
Maintaining a healthy weight supports mobility. Measure portions carefully and adjust based on activity.
Monitoring During Mealtimes
Watch for changes in appetite or chewing habits. Early observation helps address any issues promptly.
Speak to your vet about the best feeding approach for your senior dog.
