Signs that it may be time to switch include weight gain, reduced activity or stiffness. Consult your vet if you're unsure.Does this food help with joint problems in older dogs?Yes — the special formula includes nutrients to help maintain healthy joints and support mobility, which is particularly important for senior dogs experiencing stiffness or reduced movement.Why does my senior dog need fewer calories?As dogs age, their metabolism slows and they typically become less active, meaning they need fewer calories to maintain a healthy weight. Feeding a standard adult food can lead to weight gain in senior dogs, which puts additional strain on joints and organs.Does this food support the immune system?Yes — the added antioxidant vitamins A, E and C, along with other natural sources, help support a healthy immune system — particularly important as dogs age and their immune function naturally declines.Is Vetspec veterinarian-recommended?Yes — all Vetspec recipes are formulated to veterinarian specification using premium ingredients and precise nutritional science.
