At Pet Drugs Online, we offer a vast range of the best senior dog food, with fast delivery to most of the UK. With popular brands such as Purina, Hill's, James Wellbeloved and more, everything your dog needs to stay healthy in their senior years is right at your fingertips.

Food for senior dogs meets the nutritional needs of older dogs, which differ from those of younger dogs. Senior dogs are typically less active and have slower metabolisms, so they need fewer calories and fat. Elderly dogs also have a harder time digesting protein, so their food often has a lower protein content than regular dog food, helping to increase their quality of life.

Senior dog food may also contain additional nutrients that are beneficial for older dogs, such as;

• - Glucosamine and chondroitin to help to support joint health.

• - Omega-3 fatty acids that hold anti-inflammatory properties and can help improve skin and coat health.

• - Antioxidants to help to protect cells from damage.

This may vary depending on the dog's size, body weight, breed, health status, and activity level. 

As dogs age, some breeds, especially smaller breeds, may develop dental issues, so we would recommend soft dog food for older dogs. Look for foods with higher moisture content or specially formulated small-breed senior dog food.
