The overall health and life quality of older dogs is closely correlated to maintaining optimal weight. ACANA Senior is formulated with reduced dietary fat and L-carnitine supplement to help convert stored body fat into available energy to maintain optimum body mass.

Senior and older dogs are often more food sensitive. High-starch diets with wheat and gluten ingredients are known to contribute to loose stool and dietary upset. Vets, nutritionists and pet specialists agree that low-starch diets, free of wheat and gluten ingredients, can significantly reduce the risk of dietary upset in all dogs, while promoting firm and small stool.

While requiring fewer carbohydrates, senior dogs still require easily digested proteins to maintain and support muscle tone and mass. ACANA Senior has a superior ingredient base of human-grade chicken ingredients (>40%) - highly palatable and rich in easily digested proteins to support muscle mass without contributing to weight gain.

As a dog ages, its body begins to lose its natural ability to repair joint cartilage resulting in reduced mobility and stress for the dog. ACANA's natural source glucosamine and chondroitin promote mobility by helping maintain healthy joint cartilage in senior dogs.

 

Body conditioning, digestive function and joint mobility are primary health concerns for mature dogs.

To account for the diminished protein reserves of older dogs, this exceptional diet is literally bursting with human-grade chicken meat (45%) ingredients - rich in essential amino acids to nutritionally support tissue repair and lean muscle mass.

Reduced dietary fat and carbohydrate content (28%) promote a healthy body weight, and L-carnitine supplements convert body fat into useable energy.

Premium herring and flax oils supply essential fatty acids (including DHA and EPA) to support immune function and nourish the skin and coat, and ocean-source glucosamine and chondroitin promote joint health.

Easily digested oatmeal with probiotic botanicals (MOS, FOS) support digestive health, and ACANA's steamed fruits and vegetables with organic minerals and essential phytonutrients supply antioxidants in the healthiest way.
